I have an array tag in a MicroLogix called Drop\_Table. It is 12 elements long. Each element has two values: Target and Actual. All Values are REAL type. I would like to display this in a Perspective Table. I am able to see the values in my Tag Browser but I cannot seem to get them to display in a Table. I'm using Ignition 8.1. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance! ---

Show us how you have set up the table component's data binding. ---

You are delivering a single value to `props.data`. A table needs either a **dataset** , or a **list of objects**. A number, or a list of numbers, is neither acceptable format. You absolutely need a transform. ---

Where can I find some info on that? I read that I needed to create a list of dictionaries. Not sure if this is correct. I tried this: ```python def transform(self, value, quality, timestamp): return [{"Target": row[0], "Actual": row[1]} for row in value] ``` I get Error\_ScriptEval. I've tried this with a simple array also with the same bad results. Here's what my data looks like: ![image](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/inductiveautomation/original/3X/2/0/20d418e36d8aa370bb78480d69f399d5c6ca563d.png) ---

The problem is you don't have an array tag at `[edge]Drop_Table` - it's just a folder. In that folder are more folders, and in those folders are tags. It might be a UDT array in your PLC program but it's not an array of any kind once you bring it into Ignition via whatever driver. err, and side note: you must have meant Micro800 driver, right? There are no tags or tag arrays in MicroLogix. ---

You are correct. That should have been CompactLogix. What's the best way to bring this in as an array? ---

You cannot.\[1\] The driver doesn't expose arrays as arrays, but as individual items. When subscribed via OPC tags to all of those items, the driver intelligently reads them as a block, but they are delivered individually. In your UI, you will want to supply the table with a list of tag paths as one of the values in the list of dictionaries, and configure a cell render view to indirect bind to show the live value in the table. If you don't care about live values, you can use a script to with `system.tag.readBlocking()` to grab all of the values at once, and deliver the values in the dictionaries. * * * 1. My alternate EtherNet/IP driver **does** support reading arrays of simple numeric types as a single array item. ---

I am interested in learning more about your alternate Ethernet\IP driver. ---
