Probably the easiest way is to create a new indicator in the QuickEditor
called "Range" by simply typing "Range" into the Plot1 box. Make it yellow
or some other unique color.

Then apply this indicator to a chart and keep the "Data Window" open.
Select the vertical line cursor and use it to select the bar you want to
look at. The corresponding value of range will appear underlined in the
data window. It will be the same color as the plot and be labeled Plot1.

There are many more sophisticated ways to do this. The cutest way I have
seen is to use the Expert Commentary feature. This allows you to print to
the print log the data corresponding to any bar you select. This
application is described in a recent issue of the TSExpress newsletter.
