I’m making a perspective view that I plan to use several instances of later on for different instances of the same machine. I have my params working for everything else but I can’t figure out how to use a param as the dataset for a chart. When I try and bind it as tag history it won’t work. Kind of at a loss here and my knowledge of SQL is a bit weak, I was wondering if anyone here had a resource that could help me or if anyone knew an answer? Thanks for your time guys! ---

Amm, not entirely sure but still would try to answer. You might have to configure that part a little rather than just directly binding it. Is it a history tag ? or a chart data points coming up from the OPC tag every constant duration (evert second or half a second !) Normal Chart Expects data in this form - ![image](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/inductiveautomation/original/3X/a/f/aff467a3536087e661d7454e197d1ccc93616a53.png) which is, [[Time, Torque], [[0,0],[10,-0.2]…] You can have the Indirect Reference to this dataset tag from params as below - ![image](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/inductiveautomation/original/3X/e/f/ef481505a5b0e2336dc1ba6d57aa465b8672087c.png) Once you have this, Map datasource of your chart to this parameter as like this : ![image](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/inductiveautomation/original/3X/a/1/a17db04d368aa51996177c09c438790c0cfdefb1.png) Rest, you can configure in the Series Prop of the Chart !! ---

I thought I tried that so I started over and found out my input parameter was value and not array and now it works fine haha. I appreciate the fast response! If you ever find yourself in the dallas area let me know I owe you a beer! ---

Hello I have seen this post, but still I can't figure out how to do it. I want to pass the dataset as a parameter to plot it on chart which is on another view. Please help me with this.
