Here I am trying to use the selection from the tag browse tree to show historical data, however when I attempt to use indirection to have the data change based on which tag is selected, nothing happens and the table remains empty. Is there something I am missing? Any help would be greatly appreciated

Maybe it’s not getting the tag provider from the tag browse tree? You could try putting the correct tag provider in front of your redirection.

I think I figured out that it is because the “selectedPaths” property of the tag browse tree comes in as a dataset when the indirect tag binding is expecting a string. I just need to figure out how to get the selected path in as a string.

Ahhh, ok. Well you could make a custom string property on the tag path selector and put the following expression on it. That will pull the first tag path from the dataset and then you can bind to the custom property instead.
