Show values from data references

Worksheets can show the values of attributes that contain a data reference. However, you cannot publish values of data-reference attributes to PI AF.

1. On the PI Builder tab, in the Attribute Data References group, select the check box appropriate for the attribute display:

   • For attributes displayed in rows, select the Show Values in Rows check box.

   • For attributes displayed in columns, select the Show Values in Columns check box.

2. In the list under the check boxes, specify the time for which you want to retrieve the data reference value. You can enter a PI time expression, or select one of the choices:

   • Values at Yesterday Midnight

   • Values at Today Midnight

   • Values at Current Time (default choice)

   • Select Date and Time

3. Update or retrieve values, as appropriate:

   • If the worksheet already contains the attributes, click Retrieve to retrieve values from the data references at the specified time and write them to the worksheet.

   • If you need to add attributes to the worksheet, retrieve them with elements, models, event frames, or transfers:

     • Retrieve attributes by searching

     • Retrieve selected models

     • Learn about event frames

     • Transfers in PI Builder
