I am putting together a monthly report that will show, over the course of a month, effluent turbidity and chlorine residual values every 15 minutes. I have my data sources set up and aliased but am not getting anything back on the daily version of it that I made for myself as a test. I am getting data returned in the script on the right side of the screenshot here:

What am I missing?

Show us your report design, you probably have something wrong with your table data key.

So now the report is returning values, but only at midnight.   
Here is what I have set up in the Data tab for CFETurb. I have Cl2 set up the same exact way, except that is set for Minimum Aggregation Mode.  
How do I get the report to pull data every 15 minutes throughout the day?

For the record, this particular report is setup to run daily as feedback/troubleshooting for myself. When this report is completed for the client, it will pull data every 15 minutes throughout the month.

Here it is. I am getting reports returned with data, but it is just repeating the same numbers on each line for the whole report. When I preview the report, I can still see the proper values on the right side of the screen, but the report only shows those two numbers

There are likely several problems at once.

The repeating data typically stems from an incorrect data key alias in the table column, when compared to the key browser. Typically when you have a Tag History Data source, the resulting data is all in a single source and the keys are: t\_stamp, tag1, tag2 etc.

It seems you have 3 different Data Keys, do you know why that is happening?  
I would expect all of the columns to be in tag\_history so your table should look like:  
**t\_stamp, Turb, CI2**

Notice in your table you have Turb.Turb. That is why you have repeating values. Tables generally work with a single data source, unless you are doing more complex nesting. The table is accessing the very first row of the other 2 data sources every time, because it is only indexing against the "tag\_history" data source.

This part is the "root" of the problem.

Your table is defined to use the `tag_history` data key. So the `t_stamp` row is automatically incrementing through each row. But `Turb` and `Cl2` are being brought in as independent data keys - they're not part of the table. So the reporting module always gives you the first row.

Technically, it's possible to work around this without changing your data, using the builtin Row key and subscripting to pull the correct row out of the additional datasources, as I described here: [Reporting on a single table form different queries - #2 by PGriffith](https://forum.inductiveautomation.com/t/reporting-on-a-single-table-form-different-queries/14491/2)

But by far and away the best/easiest solution would be to "fix" your data to be a single dataset.
