[Help] Side by Side Volume Profiles

I am trying to create two side by side volume profiles aligned to the far right of a single chart


Currently, I have two VbP studies (see attachment "Capture") both showing today's Volume profile. I want one of them to show Today's volume profile and the other one to show Yesterday's volume profile.


How can I make one of them only show the Prior day Volume profile?

I have already tried this solution but it does not work as intended (https://www.sierrachart.com/index.php?page=doc/StudiesReference.php&ID=141&Name=Volume_by_Price#1DayVolumeProfileForPriorDayAtEndOfChart)
I have attached another picture (Capture1) showing the result of this solution ^.

If you are just trying to get the prior day's trading day, then set the Volume Graph Period Type to One Period at End of Fixed Time Length. You can leave everything else as it is.

That example is for multiple profiles and we have updated it to reflect that. In other words, that wasn't the right example. There is not an example for exactly what you are trying to do, but refer to this section:

Thanks John, I was able to find the solution using

# of Periods back to Ref: 1
Multiple Profiles Based on Fixed Time
Time period type for fixed time: Days
Time period length for fixed time: 1
Number of days to calculate volume profiles: 1
Right align: yes
Allow side by side profiles on right side: yes
