Hello There, I’m trying to figure out a smarter way of doing something. I have a table which shows history status (Ok, Not Ok) of the batches through the different part of the process and they are color coded. Now, I also want to show the current status of the batch in different blinking colour in the same power table. I get this working right now by custom properties of the status. But, I am using data refresh to blink the light every 2 second. What happens essentially is that database is getting loaded a little with this. So, I am trying to find out a way to toggle configureCell some different way and also know who triggered so I can narrow down the cell updates. Thanks, ---

As per my understanding, you want to trigger configureCell per 2 second. Try it this way, place a timer component on that screen (it’ll be hidden automatically in runtime) and run timer per 3 second. In the configureCell check if timer value is greater or equal to 2. ---

Try binding the query to a custom property, then bind the data property to the custom property. It _should_ just hit up the custom property and not trigger the query. ---

This topic has more detail on this subject: > [@Bug Report: Power Table configureCell()](https://forum.inductiveautomation.com/t/bug-report-power-table-configurecell/51315): > > There’s a bug in the configureCell() extension function on the Power Table component in Vision. I tested on 8.1 and 7.9, both of which have the bug. When selecting a row from a power table, configureCell() does not execute for all cells. Instead, the cells it executes on depend on the index of the selected row. There appears to be a logical bug in how the cells are looped over. To reproduce the bug: Create a Power Table and populate it with 5 values in one column of data. The bug is present… ---
