Thanks for the responses Ed and Graham. I understand about the difference between expandfirst and expandlast. My question though is about why, when I use expandlast, the interpretation window displays a different value than the chart plot on the last bar of the day (viewing on 5 min. for example).
I'm using ver. 5.20 by the way.
