Is there a study that will display/separate Up bars only?

couple things need to be clarify:

1, what is the definition of up bars?

2, do you want all non-up bars removed or simply not being displayed and with gaps left?

1. Up bar is close greater than open. Down bar is reverse. Close less than open.
2. I don't think it matters to the analysis. So, not displayed.

I am not aware of existing studies to do that.

It might be able to achieve by spreadsheet that I have no knowledge, we will wait Sierra or other users' feed back.

With ACSIL, you could hide the Main Graph first:
Chart -> Chart Draw Type -> Blank

and have 2 subgraphs as Bar Top and Bar Bottom (skip zeros), the condition to draw any bar is "Open is lower than Close":


for (int IndexCount {0}; IndexCount<=sc.Index; IndexCount++) {
if (sc.Open[IndexCount] < sc.Close[IndexCount]) {
MyBarTop[IndexCount] = sc.High[IndexCount];
MyBarBottom[IndexCount] = sc.Low[IndexCount];
}
else {
MyBarTop[IndexCount] = 0.0;
MyBarBottom[IndexCount] = 0.0;
}
}

Use the "Color Bar Based on Alert Condition" to color the Down bars the same as the background. Refer to the following:
Color Bar Based on Alert Condition

Your actual condition would be the following:
=C < O
