I believe you can still use column resizing with a dataset, are you using props.columns to declare the names/customization for each column? You can resize using the props.columns.width property: ![image](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/inductiveautomation/original/3X/5/d/5d30cac342b5ef25966a1788c16e05130da6f929.png) ---

Could you share a screenshot of what you have under the props.columns property? ---

Thank you. **field** is case-sensitive, could try using "TagPath" and "Unit" and "OPCPath"? ---

Your props show fields of `tagpath` and `unit`, but those columns have different casing in your screenshot. The `field` prop must be a case-sensitive match to one of your Dataset columns in order for that config to work in the table. Edit: I was looking at a later post and had forgotten about the screenshot present in the first post. ---

Not related to the issue, but next time you need a small table for testing purpose, you can just build it like this instead: ```python data = [ [1, "good", "yes"], [2, "bad", "no"], [3, "error", "none"], ] ``` Simpler than building it with loops, especially considering you're entering the values manually anyway. Also, note that you don't need to declare and initialize your loop iterator variable before hand in python (you don't need `i = 0` before the loop)
