Do you mean, "_I want to plot a single point on an XY Chart. Tag1 will provide the X-coordinate and Tag2 will provide the Y-coordinate._"?

If so, yes, you will still need a datasource (which is not the same thing as a dataset).

 ![XY Chart pointdata](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/inductiveautomation/original/3X/6/5/65a1202b532433cd0598be964cbe7624c351afc5.png)

- Create a new dataSource **array**. I've called mine `pointData`.
- In that, add an **object**. It should show up as `0`.
- In `0` add **values** `x` and `y`.
- Create a tag binding on `x` to Tag1.
- Create a tag binding on `y` to Tag2.

You'll then have to sort out the `series` properties to use these values.

If you get stuck then post the chart JSON here. See [Wiki - how to post code on this forum](https://forum.inductiveautomation.com/t/wiki-how-to-post-code-on-this-forum/77831).
