I need some help replacing system.tag.getTagValues with system.tag.readAll. I cant seem to figure out how to pull out just the value and not the quality. any help would be appreciated. here is my existing script using getTagValues

[code]  
query = “SELECT displayname, devicename from devices”  
tag = event.source.getComponent(‘Dropdown 1’).selectedStringValue

if event.propertyName in [“devices”, “refresh”]:  
table = event.source.getComponent(‘Table’)  
newData = []  
header = [“Displayname”, “Identifier”, “Current Throughput”, “Today’s Throughput”, “devicestate”]  
res = system.db.runQuery(query)  
tagPaths = []

for row in res:  
tagPath = row[1]

```
   tagPaths.append("%s%s"% (tagPath,tag))
   tagPaths.append("%s/yestmcftotal"%tagPath)
   tagPaths.append("%s/PrimaryInterval"%tagPath)

```

results = system.tag.getTagValuesl(tagPaths)

idx = 0  
for row in res:  
displayName = row[0]  
tagPath = row[1]  
newData.append([displayName, tagPath, results[0+idx], results[1+idx], results[2+idx]])  
idx += 3

table.data = system.dataset.toDataSet(header, newData)[/code]

You need to reference the value property of the QualifiedValue that is returned. For example, the value of the “ith” item in your results array would be results[i].value.
