I have a query tag (“Downtime”) that returns 10 Rows x 3 Column Dataset, column 0 has integer values only.  
I need to bind one of my components value to that query Dataset-Row 0, Column 0 value.  
I haven’t been able to do it and keep getting “Ilegal character” Error when selecting the tag path.

In an **expression** , use `{path to tag}[subscript1,subscript2]`.
