(How many times have you thought:) I thought there was a way to do this, but I can't remember... I have a data series for the Federal Reserve Discount Rate that I'd like to plot in MetaStock. The data series has one data point per rate change consisting of the date of the change and the new rate's value. When I convert this table using the Downloader and then plot it as a line graph, it looks OK except the X-Axis is non-continuous. When I then drop another (continuous) data series on the chart, the Discount Rate data points are no longer connected by lines. Of course, what I'd like to have is a horizontal line extending from each data point until the next one. I was thinking of using a custom indicator with a formula similar to this: if(Missing(C), Previous, C) Where "Missing()" is a function that is true if there is no value for the particular day in the series. Alas, I can't find a function like that in the MetaStock Help File. I thought I used something like this last year. Am I just overlooking it? If not, is there a workaround or will I have to write some silly script to insert all of the missing dates into my data set? Thanks in advance, Chip
