A Gold Pass member asked how to create an Excel spreadsheet with n rows and m columns, the n rows representing each of the successive bars on an intraday chart, and for each of the n rows a column for each of the m different indicator values that appear on that bar. In tutorial 197 the following data is stored for each successive bar: a bar counter, date , time, close, open, high, low, the value of the calculated CCI, the values of the calculated RSI and the average of the closing price. The values for the most recent bar are updated in real time.

When the program is restarted it reopens and rewrites the data.

The tutorial also touched upon the use of the Microsoft Excel "Conditional Formatting" feature.
