Sure. You may use "Advanced mode" action.
http://www.ks-soft.net/hostmon.eng/mfra ... ncedaction
Quote from manual:
=================
((%Reply%>200) and (%Reply%<800)) or ('%::Main Router::SimpleStatus%'=='DOWN') - action will be executed when "Reply" value of the test is between 200 and 800 or status of the "Main Router" test is "No answer" or "Bad".
=================
So, you may use syntax like this: %Relpy% > %::OtherTestName::Reply%

Also you may use %Reply_Integer% and %Reply_Number% variables.

Max

I Have two test, Test1 and Test2, and in alert profile on Test1 I configured
in advanced mode:
%Reply_Number% >= %::Test2::Reply_Number% but must I put this expression in dead status or alive status?

it is necessary that that one of these test failed first before HM use expression?

It is depend on you. You may setup alert as "Good status" action or as "Bad" status action.
If you need to trigger alert only if Test1 and Test2 are Ok, you may use expression like this:
('%SimpleStatus%'=='UP') and ('%::Test2::SimpleStatus%'=='UP') and (%Reply_Number% >= %::Test2::Reply_Number%)
In other case you should specify another expression.

I need to triggered action without reference to tests, but with this expression it dosen't work, no action is triggered:

%Reply_Number% >= %::Test2::Reply_Number%

in dead status

Probably reply value of the current test is less than reply value of "Test2" test item?

No, the 2 tests are often the same value

In such case, I think, you should try to use Reply_Integer variable. Could you try it?

Doesn't work

As I understand, you have assigned action profile, that contains foregoing Advanced action, to Test1, right? So, when you refresh Test1, action should be triggered. Please, copy&paste following condition, it works in our system: %Reply_Integer%>=%::Test2::Reply_Integer%
