Hello everyone...

I am trying to capture the highest high and lowest low in streamin
data. What I have done is not working correctly and I am at a loss ho
to correct it, here are the results:

I am using this:

If bid < oldlo Then
lo = bid
End If
oldlo = lo

If ask oldhi Then
hi = ask
End If
oldhi = hi


I thought this would capture and latch the highest Hi value and lowes
low of the stream and increment each time a new hi was or lo wa
reached.

Instead of latching it, it enters the data request string,
<=edemo|tik!id558?ask into the cell and it does not latch the data a
I expected it should, it enters the ask string rather than a value...
I dont think it is possible to latch anything in the spreadsheet and t
the best of my knowledge vb is the only way to accomplish this.

I am very lost on how to handle data in this manner.

Does anyone have an idea how I can get streaming data to latch an
paint an output to a cell that can be further operated on once i
excel?

a snipped version of the code is below...

Dim bid As String
Dim ask As String
Dim hi As String
Dim lo As String
Dim oldhi As String
Dim oldlo As String

bid = server & topic & id & "bid"
ask = server & topic & id & "ask"

'HOD and LOD
If bid < oldlo Then
lo = bid
End If
oldlo = lo

If ask oldhi Then
hi = ask
End If
oldhi = hi

ActiveCell.offset(0, 2).Value = bid
ActiveCell.offset(0, 3).Value = ask
ActiveCell.offset(0, 7).Value = hi
ActiveCell.offset(0, 8).Value = l
