Changing Value Column Name in WinCC Professional V18

Yes, it's possible to change the Value Column Name and associate it with a string tag in WinCC Professional V18.

You can achieve this using the following steps:

1. Tag Configuration: Create a string tag in WinCC to hold the desired column name.
2. Trend/Report Configuration: Within the Trend or Report configuration, navigate to the "Value Columns" settings.
3. Dynamic Column Name: Instead of directly typing a column name, use the "Tag" option and select the string tag you created in step 1. This will dynamically assign the column name based on the tag's value.

Important Considerations:

• Ensure the string tag contains a valid column name as defined in your data source.
• Check your data connections and tag settings to confirm data types are compatible.
