Hi,

I'm using the BarsSince function to determine how many bars since my expression was true. I have assigned the result of this to a variable.

N := BarsSince(expr);

When I attempt to use this variable within the Hist function, I get an error message saying that it has to be an integer number

P := Hist(C, N);

Is there any way around this?

Thanks

Have a look at the VALUEWHEN function in the help menu, it's not something I've used myself, but it looks like it could acheive your desired outcome:

P := valuewhen(1, expr, C);

Hi,

Thanks for the response. A couple of days ago I found this very function and it has enabled me to come to a solution.
