Hi,

have you took `node-red-node-ui-table` (aka. Tabulator) into account. The data will have to be formatted slightly different and you will have to define a time formatted column (easy possible via `msg.ui_control`).

But in the end very versatile with possibility to graphically visualize your the price via a customized progress formatter, filtering sorting and a lot of other things

Let me know if you need any help with that.

```auto
msg.payload =[
    {
        "Time":"13:01",
        "Price":17
    }, {
        "Time":"13:06",
        "Price":24
    }, {
        "Time":"13:11",
        "Price":15
    }, {
        "Time":"13:16",
        "Price":16
    }, {
        "Time":"13:21",
        "Price":16
    }, {
        "Time":"13:26",
        "Price":18
    }
];
return msg;

```

> Hello all, ui-table supports now sending msg.ui\_control messages to have more possibilities to style your dashboard table: or with grouping Example flow included but many other things should be possible. This Example is "generated" by data collected by my home automation system thermostat giving a compact overview of all values and settings with only one ui-node. Curious to see what you can do with it. Comments always welcome. Chris
