I am trying to bind custom dataset to display some values/rows of dataset table: 2 columns and x rows based on the roster/role. I need info on the syntax for binding dataset expression property to get this done using something like this?

for table 1:  
"#NAMES"  
"String Column", "Int Column"  
"#TYPES"  
"str","I"  
"#ROWS","2"  
"String 1","Int 1"  
"String 2","Int 2"

tables looks like something like this but

table 1/dataset

| String Column | Int Column |
| --- | --- |
| String 1 | Int 1 |
| String 2 | Int 2 |

Another table 2 /dataset

| String Column | Int Column |
| --- | --- |
| String 3 | Int 3 |
| String 4 | Int 4 |

Ignition doesn't natively have much in the expression language for manipulating datasets. You probably want to look at my Integration Toolkit module.

Thanks for replying. That sucks. There is a dataset editor where we can manually create a table that but not using script.  
For testing purpose what I did was created two memory tags with separate datasets and bind that to the table component data property using expression and it worked.
