I have a data set that I created that is linked to the table shown in pic 1.

 ![pic%201](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/inductiveautomation/original/2X/8/8ec99f891ae8fbb5b0d80175908ab8b11fc4b0e5.jpeg)

I have a tag that has a value, and I need to write that value to column 1, row “Clock#”. I have no idea how to write a piece of data to a particular spot in a dataset. Once I figure that out, I can handle triggering it to write, also writing the date, and incrementing the column number by 1 every time it’s triggered to write so that each new recording goes to a new column. Can anyone provide me with a brief explanation or paste a quick example of how I can write an existing tag value to the desired location on this table?

To start, try out the cell update binding and see if that works for your purposes:
