Sorry I did not know whatif did not work in addtextcolumn

This may work better
level=iif(C > 25,"Hi","Lo");

Graham- Your logic for what I want to accomplish is good, but which
functions to use and how to use them is the problem.  For example, to
add a column with text you must use AddTextColumn.  But WriteIf gives
error messages when inside it.  So I tried this as simple test code:

level=WriteIf(C > 25,"Hi","Lo");
Filter=1;
AddColumn(C, "C", 1.4 );
AddTextColumn(level,"Close Level");

Unfortunately this always returns "Hi", even if C<=25.  I think the 
issue is how to insert a string into AddTextColumn that varies based
on a condition, but nothing I've tried works.  Any more ideas? Thanks
for your efforts, BTW.

Mark
