Maurice,
 
I will provide the code for a RSI(14) diveregence as well as a 
MACD(12,26,--) divergence.  
Sorry, it took a few days to locate. Out of town most of the week (Newport 
Beach) with day job.
 
Attachment will show how it is used.  
 
This formula shows divergence between price and the indicator not the trend 
line divergence you 
may be looking for when their are say increasing price peaks and decreasing 
indicator peaks as 
a leading indicator for a potetial price reversal.
 
Divergence Between the Close and an Indicator 
 
 The following formula will calculate the correlation of the Close 
andthe MACD. It is written 
using a "long form" MACD so that the time periods used by the MACD may be 
changed. 
This indicator shows "divergence" between the close and the 
indicator:
 
Divergence Between the Close and MACD
 
Correl(((Sum(Cum(1)*(Mov(C,12,E)-Mov(C,26,E)),100))-(Sum(Cum(1),100)*Sum((Mov(C,12,E)-Mov(C,26,E)),100)/100))/((Sum(Power(Cum(1),2),100))-(Power(Sum(Cum(1),100),2)/100)),((Sum(Cum(1)*C,100))-(Sum(Cum(1),100)*Sum(C,100)/100))/((Sum(Power(Cum(1),2),100))-(Power(Sum(Cum(1),100),2)/100)),12,0)
 
 The interpretation of the indicator output is as follows:- .08 
(80%) and lower is divergence between the Close and the MACD.- 1 is very 
strong divergence.+ 1 is very strong correlation.
 
The formula was constructed this way so that most other indicators maybe 
used in place of the MACD.For example here is the same indicator using the 
RSI(14): Divergence Between the Close and 
RSI
 
Correl(((Sum(Cum(1)*(RSI(14)),100))-(Sum(Cum(1),100)*Sum((RSI(14)),100)/100))/((Sum(Power(Cum(1),2),100))-(Power(Sum(Cum(1),100),2)/100)),((Sum(Cum(1)*C,100))-(Sum(Cum(1),100)*Sum(C,100)/100))/((Sum(Power(Cum(1),2),100))-(Power(Sum(Cum(1),100),2)/100)),12,0)
