Explorer columns are independent of each other. The filter is the only part
of the explorer that can access the columns, and even then it only has
access to the output.

Subject: [Metastockusers] Use of Variable in Explorer
> I have Metastock 8.01, EOD version. I am trying to use variables while
writing formulas for the various columns of the Explorer, and I am having
some problems.
>
> For example, if I put in Column A:
> period:=40;
> HHV(CLOSE,period)
>
> I get the correct HHV for 40 periods.
>
> But if I then go to column B and input:
> ROC(close,period,percent)
>
> Explorer won't accept it. Column B seems to have to be formulated as
follows for it to work:
> period:=40;
> ROC(close,period,percent)
>
> That means if every column uses a formula with a PERIOD requirement, I
must enter "period:=40;" in every column.
>
> Which then means when I want to change the value of the period from 40 to
something else, I have to change it in every column.
>
> That seems to defeat the reason for using a variable. Is there a way
around this, so that I can only change the value of the period once, and
every column will accept it?
