[Programming Help] - Force Index Inputs and Programming in ACSIL

So, I came across an indicator I'd like to use, called Force Index.
The Study has No Inputs, and records a constant number called Force Index Average.
To put in bluntly, the Study is completely useless in SpreadSheets.

So, I'd need to go and start changing the Study code in ACSIL- Something I have been holding off on doing. I am very proficient in SS, but SS is kinda useless without a while loop. So, I'd like to Learn ACSIL. Unfortunately, learning ACSIL is ridiculously hard if you don't know where or how to begin.

Is there a Coder out there, who can help me put the actual Force Index into the Subgraphs section?
Or perhaps a Coder who would be willing to teach me to Code in ACSIL?

The Force Index Study has a subgraph. You can access the subgraph in any spreadsheet using the IDx.SG1@3 in row three of any formula column (e.g. K-Z)

=ID1.SG1@3

BTW: The reason there are no inputs is the formula for Force Index doesn't need any.

Subgraph_ForceIndex[i] = sc.Volume[i] * (sc.Close[i] - sc.Close[i-1]);

You could easily add this to any spreadsheet with this formula in K3:

=F3*(E3-E4)

You could, but I am not sure why you think you need to.

I think I just did.

Or perhaps a Coder who would be willing to teach me to Code in ACSIL?
I would be happy to get you started.

Thanks Brad - Still having some trouble tho with force index - the column for that subgraph is only a constant called "Force Index Average". I'm having no luck changing it from a constant number. But that's all ok.
I sent you an email earlier today. I'm hoping we can work together again. I look forward to speaking with you
