Issue with a custom footprint

Dear Support,
First the basics:
I am using Windows 10 64-bit build 1909 )OS Build 18363.900)
My Sierra Chart version is 2123 64-bit (31804M).
I have attached images of the custom footprint charts.
The issue is this:
If you reference 17 June 2020 at around 04:21:40 you will see many 0's on the buy and sell side and some 18's and 64's. These values are incredibly unlikely and in fact are incorrect as I have compared with someone else who is also using the same chart. However, there are others in my trading group, like me, who are seeing the same incorrect values as I am.
I have uninstalled and reinstalled Sierra multiple times. I have downloaded the original chartbook from which the chart originally came. I have tried a previous version of Sierra in which it worked for my friend.
I have also attached the CORRECT version of the chart on my friend's machine as an image.
Update after writing this message:
We did find a solution and that was to change the Intraday Data Storage Time Unit to 1 Tick instead of 1 second in Data/Trade Service Settings.
Can you please advise as to what may be happening here?
Thanks
Gary Brewer

The Numbers Bars study requires tick by tick data in order to be accurate. This is stated in Step #2 of the documentation here:
Numbers Bars: Step-By-Step Instructions

There is also the Input option to require 1 tick data, which you could then set as the default for your study so that this does not happen in the future. Refer to the information here:
Numbers Bars: Require 1 Tick Intraday Data Storage Time

And refer to the following for how to set this as a default for your study:
