I did search the forum for answers with no success. That includes searching the formulas. I have MS 8.01 under Windows XP Professional. I have a programming background, but I'm very inexperienced in MS programming. I have also sought answers in the reference manual. I believe that what I wish to do would be very easy for an experienced MS explorer user. I'd like to determine the average close for a stock for the period from 52 bars ago to 78 bars ago. I expect that the answer to my simple problem will help me to accomplish other tasks with the explorer. So thanks in advance for w[censored]ver comes up with an answer or answers for me.

Rich, So what you are really looking for is a 78-52=26 bar simple moving average from 52 bars ago? Ref(Mov(C,26,S),-52) Hope this helps. wabbit :D 49 days to go!

Ref(Mov(C,26,S),-52) Great. Thanks a bunch. As an old programmer, I figured it might be elegantly simple, and you showed that indeed it is. I'll sure have to remember the simple power of REF. <G> Rich in Minnesota USA
