Sorry, but what you are talking about is not possible

Will try to explain : data window only displays what is in the buffers of an indicator attached to the chart. If your indicator displays in the text near the name some values, those values are for the current bar. Compare that to data window dragging the mouse over the current bar.

See the example - as you can see, values displayed in the data window are exactly the same as the values displayed by the indicator when I hover with the mouse over the current bar:

Data window is just a peeping hole to the data contained in indicators buffers. Nothing else
