Post From: SymbolDisplay Issues

If I use the TextDisplayForStudy and reference the SymbolDisplayStudy.SG1, it displays 0.00 not the text. Same result using TextDisplayForStudyFromChart.

I also tried using spreadsheet study and creating an absolute reference to the symbol ($J$40), then trying to use the two TextDisplayForStudy as above, and got the same result of it displaying a zero.

What I really want to accomplish is to be able to retrieve the symbol for the current chart to be able to use in a lookup to spreadsheet values, so am not attached to using SymbolDisplay. Seems like this should be a simple thing to accomplish, but can't figure out how. I know there's a ASCIL function to get the symbol, but am hoping to avoid writing a custom DLL if what i want to accomplish can be done with spreadsheet studies.
