[Programming Help] - Zig Zag Study Oscillator and Spreadsheet Trading

Hello.

I am trying to set up spreadsheet trading using the zig zag study. Specifically, I would like to set orders based on correlation when the ZIG Zag Oscillator (SG9) has a negative and positive slope with other ZIgZag Oscillator slopes based on other studies. The spreadsheet column for this oscillator has a combination of blanks, zeros, and/or usually rotates between positive and negative, but sometimes always pos or neg (when using to study Open Interest for example). I have tried applying the Color Bar based on Slope Study to get consistent output (+1 or -1), but the color bar study output to the spreadsheet is Not a series of +-1s (despite selecting this in settings for false), but similar to the previous description of the outputs. The study value window shows +-1, but this is not what shows up in the spreadsheet column under this ID.SG.

My question is, how do I translate this slope oscillator data into something I can use in the spreadsheet that reflects the slope calculations done by the study?

All input is appreciated.

I'm trying to do the same thing, but with the jdt MACD/Bollinger Bands/Heiken-Ashi Study

If you only want a +1/-1 for the pos/neg slope of the ZZ Osc, try something like this in a Formula Column:
=IF(ID1.SG9@3>0,1,IF(ID1.SG9@3<0,-1,0))
where the ZZ study is ID1.

And there is this example that outputs +1/-1 of a subgraph line's upslope/downslope:
