I have create a dataset with 2 main columns, tag name and tag path

The TAG\_PATH column has value of the tag name (value from NAME column) in it.  
Can I use the column NAME as property in cell binding for column TAG\_PATH?

Something like,  
[default]PROJ/OPC/**{NAME}[0]**/Value

where **{NAME}[0]** is the 0th cell under column NAME

No, cell update bindings cannot do indirection or expressions. Just direct tags or properties.
