Is there a way to get the slope value (positive or negative) of the ADX study in the spreadsheet provided by "Spreadsheet System for Trading" Study (Spreadsheet Systems, Alerts and Automated Trading: Troubleshooting).

Currently, the ADX study can be configured on the Study Settings -> Settings and Inputs -> Subgraphs based on the slope. I am trying to see if the slope value can also be available in the spreadsheet. Currently, I am only getting the ADX value in the spreadsheet.

The slope is not directly available, but you can easily calculate it in the spreadsheet. Keep in mind that slope is just rise/run between two points on the line.

With regards to how the colors are determined from the slope, it is just comparing the current bar against the one before it and and if the value of the current bar is higher than the previous bar then it uses the Primary Color, otherwise it uses the Secondary Color. If this is what you really want, then it is an even easier calculation.

Can you provide formula to calculate the rise/run between two points of the ADX value? Would this calculation be using the ADX actual value for each timeframe (e.g., 1 min chart)?

Have a look at using the Study Angle study to determine this:
