On the Bar Time Duration study I'm trying to set the horizontal lines to 5 minute increments, and every time I try it just reverts back to "automatic" lines, which are of no use to me. The study's Value Format is set to Time, the "automatic" horiz lines label have a 00:00:00 time format, I'm entering 00:05:00 for the scale increment and also for the horiz grid line increment and it never works, it just prints the "automatic" lines. What am I missing here, what do I need to do to have 5 minute increment horiz lines on the Bar Time Duration study?

Thanks

You have to enter the scale increment in the Serial Date Time value. In this case, you would need to enter an increment of 0.003472 which is 5 minutes in Serial Date Time (1/(24*60))*5.

The information about this scaling is specified in the documentation for the Bar Time Duration Study here:
Bar Time Duration

Refer to the information here about the Serial Date Time:
Spreadsheet Functions: Serial DateTime Values
