Hi GP: Thanks for the reply.
But if I have myvalue=valuewhen(rulepass,High,1); Is that not picking only 1 value(most recent one) when that condition had passed.

If you only want the most-recent value, use the LastValue function. Otherwise you need to decide which value (ie. from which bar) you want to pass to the function, which will depend on what the function is doing.
