Hello all! I have a power table that should be editable. Although, once I enter a value within a cell in the power table I will press enter and the value will revert to 0. I have 3 other tables that follow the exact flow a s this table, but only this one is giving me issues. This is the code i have for onCellEdited. ```auto def onCellEdited(self, rowIndex, colIndex, colName, oldValue, newValue): data = self.data data = system.dataset.setValue(data, rowIndex, colIndex, newValue) difference = data.getValueAt(rowIndex, 'Status') - data.getValueAt(rowIndex, 'Goal') data = system.dataset.setValue(data, rowIndex, 'Behind / Ahead', difference) self.data = data ``` This is what I have for the configureHeaderStyle: ```auto def configureHeaderStyle(self, colIndex, colName): # Example: from javax.swing import SwingConstants from java.awt import Color config = {'foreground': 'black', 'background' : 'lightGray', 'horizontalAlignment': SwingConstants.CENTER} if colName == 'Mold': config['background'] = Color(255, 172, 71) # config['background'] = 'yellow' return config ``` This is the table customizer to show I do have it as editable ![image](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/inductiveautomation/original/3X/4/f/4fd7fe6851c4c9a642621c486be06e2cceec2f15.png) If I need to give anymore information please do let me know! Thank you. ---

Where is the original data in the table originating from? Database, tag, user entry? ---

It is coming form a dataset, here is the dataset editor! ![image](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/inductiveautomation/original/3X/f/c/fc234c2c6e988a613023e80275f50241c4c1a3b3.png) ---

There is nothing wrong with your code. Make sure you don’t have a binding or something external that is writing to your data. ---

My snipping tool only allowed for partial snipping, but I do not have any bindings for this property. I may have to copy a other power table and re-enter the old data manually. ![image](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/inductiveautomation/original/3X/0/d/0d0bf6983f89107c8d978d9dd27009489ba8fa69.png) ---

Interesting. On the bright side, it doesn’t look like too daunting of a task for that power table. Just one string column. Try renaming the table, and see if that breaks whatever is overwriting you. ---

Yes luckily this will be a fairly easy fix, just wondered if anyone had experienced this and found a solution. Thank you for troubleshooting with me and have a great day! ---

Solution was to create a new power table and re-enter the dataset manually.
