Joe,
   
  Right now it is easier because of Asc function
  
   
  So you don't need to code 66, or 83 and 88 but you just 
  do:
  AddColumn( IIf( 
  BuyLong, Asc("B"), 
  IIf( SellShort, 
  Asc("S"), Asc("X") ) ), "B/S", formatChar ) 
  ;
   
   
  
Best regards,

    Ken, I remember seeing that you could print ASCII 
    codes in the explore columns
    but whether there's an ASCII character that will 
    suit your purposes is another matter. 
    How about a ^ for up and a > for sideways,... 
    just kidding.  
     
    This is from TJ quite a 
    while back.  
    
    JOE 
    AddTextColumn(WriteIf(BuyLong==1,"B", 
    WriteIf(SellShort==1,"S", "X")),"B/S");    // <==== Problem area 
    write:
    AddColumn
( IIf( BuyLong, 66, IIf( SellShort, 83, 88 
    ) ), 
    "B/S", 
    formatChar );
    where 66, 83, 88 are ASCII codes of letters B, S and X 
    respectively.

No symbol, but you could use text/background 
      colors.

        Subject: [amibroker] Symbol within 
        AA Results Cells
        
        Is it 
        possible to insert a symbol (like shapeuparrow) within a cell in a 
        results table?  I have written a AddTextColumn and used a WriteIf 
        statement to put in words describing a trend, such as "Up Trend" if a 
        parameter is above a certain value and "Down Trend" if the value is 
        below a certain value.
         
        I would like 
        to have a green up arrow or red down arrow instead of the text described 
        above.
         
        Is this 
        possible?
         
        If not, how 
        might you achieve an automation of some sort (say with the exported 
        table rather than within AB itself) so you could put said symbol in the 
        cells instead of words?
         
        Any 
        suggestions will be appreciated.
         
        Ken
