Hello everyone, i´m facing a problem with the canary historian, I have created a pipeline that pulls data from a database and publishes the data to canary and we´ve using and reading that data in ignition.  
The problem is, when a call the data to use it in a binding for a view or in a report, ignition doesn´t display the data exactly as is shown in canary. As an example, in a table a use a binding to display data, I have tried in diferent ways to set the biding and adjust the result dataset just as is logged in canary but I haven´t get the expected result.

Start by setting return format to **Tall** and query mode to **AsStored**.

I have tried to attach more screenshot but the forum didn´t let me, but I tried using the query mode AsStored already, and no data is collected

If the issue is that you are getting multiple times the same value, it will be because of the Point Count configuration where you have 400. Try 1 or AsStored, not sure what will be the difference in your case. I believe it is related also to the way how you setup your historization.

Yes, but I also tried configurating the binding ins other ways and the result is the same, I can´t bring the exact same data just as is shown in the canary administrator

Hello, I have the same problem with Ignition 8.3.3 Canary 25.6.  
When I try to read a string, I get the same issue.  
Has anyone found a solution?

This is a bug in the Canary Ignition Module that will be fixed in the next version. I will update this thread when it is available

Version 26.0 of the Canary Ignition Module is available and includes a fix for this. You should be able to query string values for a tag with the query mode set to AsStored. Adding multiple tags may not work due to an issue we are experiencing with returning raw data to Ignition for more than one tag. I have a separate thread open on here for that issue
