Hi Dennis - I don't know that it works in every situation, I would guess that maybe VarSet/Get handles the conversion internally?

It looks like I have been missing a big shortcut all this time. BR, Dennis On Jun 13, 2009, at 1:26 PM, Steve Dugas wrote: Oops!

I am using the solution below but is is VERY slow and the number of max period value is limited. My math is just not up to this and any help would be very much appreciated! have a great day, Herman function xStDev( priceArray, Periods) // Periods < 25 { global BBTop, BBBot; Periods = Min( 25, periods ); Periods = Max( 2, Periods); Deviation = IIf( Periods == 2, StDev( PriceArray, 2 ), IIf( Periods == 3, StDev( PriceArray, 3 ), IIf( Periods == 4, StDev( PriceArray, 4 ), IIf( Periods == 5, StDev( PriceArray, 5 ), IIf( Periods == 6, StDev( PriceArray, 6 ), IIf( Periods == 7, StDev( PriceArray, 7 ), IIf( Periods == 8, StDev( PriceArray, 8 ), IIf( Periods == 9, StDev( PriceArray, 9 ), IIf( Periods == 10, StDev( PriceArray, 10 ), IIf( Periods == 11, StDev( PriceArray, 11 ), IIf( Periods == 12, StDev( PriceArray, 12 ), IIf( Periods == 13, StDev( PriceArray, 13 ), IIf( Periods == 14, StDev( PriceArray, 14 ), IIf( Periods == 15, StDev( PriceArray, 15 ), IIf( Periods == 16, StDev( PriceArray, 16 ), IIf( Periods == 17, StDev( PriceArray, 17 ), IIf( Periods == 18, StDev( PriceArray, 18 ), IIf( Periods == 19, StDev( PriceArray, 19 ), IIf( Periods == 20, StDev( PriceArray, 20 ), IIf( Periods == 21, StDev( PriceArray, 21 ), IIf( Periods == 22, StDev( PriceArray, 22 ), IIf( Periods == 23, StDev( PriceArray, 23 ), IIf( Periods == 24, StDev( PriceArray, 24 ), StDev( PriceArray, 25 )))))))))))))))))))))))); return Deviation; }
