Where are you getting your values from? If you’re reading tags from a device (i.e. via Modbus or OPC UA server), you can create a custom view property which will store those values in a dataset or an array of objects and bind the data property of the table to that custom view prop.

Ok, so let’s suppose your input data is a list of dictionaries and each of those dictionaries have a key named `path` which contains the path of the tag you want to display the value of.

In a perspective table, create a column whose render is set to `view` and the field is set to `path`.

Then, create a new view. In the params of the view, make sure to declare the `value` parameter.

Place a label in your view, and create a indirect tag binding on the `text` property, and use the `value` params that you previously created in your binding.

Ensure the column you created in this table has the `viewPath` property set to the view you just created, and that the `data` property of the perspective table is set to the input data I mention at the beginning of my post.

This should work 🙂

This might help re using a view in a table
