I am working on a Gateway status screen that displays CPU/Memory/Disk Usage via the system tags and I noticed the data was off. Looking at the performance page in the Gateway I could see my memory usage is at about 40% however, the system tag is showing a 0.40 value. Okay, no big deal I need to scale my data by 100 to display it as percent. How can I do this in an indirectly addresses time series chart dataset easily? I have not been able to find a means to quickly scale the historical data either before getting it from my database or after getting it on my time series chart. Any suggestions or help is much appreciated. ---

I found a means to scale the tag. It is not ideal in my opinion but it will work for my application. For those that may find this via a google search in 5 years all I did was set the scale mode of the system tag and defined the limits. ![image](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/inductiveautomation/original/3X/f/1/f1d8783ab292514979b024266a6ff2b20a8897e3.png) ---

Try: ```python axes.0.name : Y axes.0.tick.label.format : 0% plots.0.axes.0.name : Y ``` ---

For science I tried this and it does not seem to work. Thank you for the suggestion though. ---

Oh, yes it does! ![TimeSeries Y percent](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/inductiveautomation/original/3X/c/8/c879ea4c65ba1d1d937c70a7e909102e4bd725ef.png) ---

Before: ![image](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/inductiveautomation/original/3X/6/3/63adf01eb2b758cb2293bbcc97b9c97958dbe8cb.png) After: ![image](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/inductiveautomation/original/3X/2/6/26843d3b077fc5d0e11e1f15614d7c3e4c373f10.png) After is the addition of the format property to plots.0.axes.label and setting it to 0%. Not sure why your method works for you and not me but I appreciate you highlighting the fact that I can apply the format property to the label in the future. ---

I'm testing on 8.1.41. If you like, you can copy the chart from Project Browser and post it here. (Please see [https://forum.inductiveautomation.com/t/wiki-how-to-post-code-on-this-forum/77831.](https://forum.inductiveautomation.com/t/wiki-how-to-post-code-on-this-forum/77831.)) We can then test it and see if we can spot the problem.
