weekly VAH and VAL are inside of the prior weeks

[JE $$]

I want to do something like this with the weekly volume high and low value areas.
https://usethinkscript.com/threads/previous-day-volume-val-vah-for-thinkorswim.12630/

Can someone please help with this value area scan?
I am trying to create a scan that finds candidates whose weekly VAH and VAL are inside of the prior weeks values.

Specifically:
this weeks VAH is less than last weeks VAH
this weeks VAL is greater than last weeks VAL
(weekly value area inside scan)

I tried using the Value area indicators i can find on here to do it and also the built in TPO indicator but I cant seem to get it to work. I think my inability to get it to work has something to do with all the various time aggregations -- in my attempts I have made sure that the aggregations are aligned but it hasnt helped.

Here is a modification of a DAY version I previously posted to a WEEK.

The scanner would not accept it. However, you could make it a watchlist column that you can sort. It will be green when the current week is INSIDE of the prior week's VAH/VAL, Make sure you set the custom column and the chart you are viewing to the same timeframe.

def daysago = 0;# 0 compares today to yesterday; 1 compares yessterday to the day before it; etc....

def vah = reference VolumeProfile("time per profile" = "Week", "on expansion" = no, "price per row height mode" = "TICKSIZE").VAHigh;

def vah0 = if Getweek() == GetLastweek() - daysago then vah else vah0[1];
def vah1 = if Getweek() == GetLastweek() - daysago - 1 then vah else vah1[1];

def val = reference VolumeProfile("time per profile" = "Week", "on expansion" = no, "price per row height mode" = "TICKSIZE").VALow;

def val0 = if Getweek() == GetLastweek() - daysago then val else val0[1];
def val1 = if Getweek() == GetLastweek() - daysago - 1 then val else val1[1];


plot inside = vah1>vah0 and val0>val1;

assignbackgroundColor(if inside then color.green else color.black);
