Hi,

Is it possible to move cell value from one cell to another cell in power table?

 ![image](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/inductiveautomation/original/3X/b/f/bfd1e6b048328ae76544c41c8b80e74ba8d02a42.png)  
In screenshot i have shown the arrow mark to move the cell value

By clicking the cell or any button to move?

How are you populating the table?  
i.e. dataset, query etc…

Scripting on the power table, onDoubleClick Function

```
if colIndex==4:
	self.data = system.dataset.updateRow(self.data,rowIndex,{'Manual Entry':value})
```

Yes, but it’s not easy.  
You would need to create your own TableCellRenderer implementation.  
There’s some posts on the forum with sample code, and I’d suggest reading the documentation for an overview of the concepts:

> **[How to Use Tables (The Java™ Tutorials \>        
            Creating a...](https://docs.oracle.com/javase/tutorial/uiswing/components/table.html#renderer)**

You could use a separate column in between the `System Suggested` and `Manual Entry` columns to hold the arrow icons. You call the column `Update` and use the arrow icon as a _button_

You probably could, but like @paul-griffith mentioned, it won’t be trivial and would require some Java. It makes much more sense to just add another column.
