If your trying to graph it then you would need values over time. Have you set up historian for the tag or any sql logging? If you have done either then you would pull it back in using the [tag history query](https://docs.inductiveautomation.com/display/DOC80/Tag+Historian+Query) or an [SQL query](https://docs.inductiveautomation.com/display/DOC80/SQL+Query+Data+Source). After you have the data being queried then the manual explains how to set up the chart under [“Getting Started With Report Charts”](https://docs.inductiveautomation.com/display/DOC80/Getting+Started+with+Report+Charts)
