Dataset Integer to String Text Conversion

Ignition

Hi Everyone,
I am working with a project where I would like to log when the PLC sets or resets an auto request for a device ie a valve open command.
I have set the tag as a historical tag set to on change. This is working and I can call up a Table component and view the data no problem.
I would however like the data I see in the table to be changed from say the integer value "1" to a more understandable string value such as "Opened in Auto by PLC". I have been playing around with data sets trying to update values and append but I am wondering if there is an easier way to do this.

Thanks,

What kind of table are you using, and is your project Vision or Perspective?

The table customizer should be able to hande that for you.
