I have a Data table which consists of device information.  
I have an indicator block in a dashboard. I have Query-0 in indicator block that stores the value in “value-0”  
In the condition section of the Indicator block . I want verify whether my value-0 is present in one of the columns of above mentioned table.

eg: let say “value-0” in indicator block is “101”  
My Data table (info-table)with a column having values like 101,102,103…  
In my condition in indicator block, i have to check if my value present in column of that table.

Is there any way I can export my values from datatable to indicator block?  
or Is there any way , I can store a value from workflow in indicator block so I can use that value in my condition?

Kindly appreciate any help.

[Indicator Blocks](https://docs.losant.com/dashboards/blocks/indicator/) can only query device attribute ([state](https://docs.losant.com/devices/state/)) data - not static metadata stored in [data tables](https://docs.losant.com/data-tables/overview/).

You could replicate the behavior and appearance of the Indicator Block in a [Custom HTML Block](https://docs.losant.com/dashboards/blocks/custom-html/) or [Custom Vega Chart](https://docs.losant.com/dashboards/blocks/custom-chart/), each of which can query data table rows.

Thank you so much for the clarification.  
Hoping for easy way to access the data from workflow directly to (eg: indicator block) in the future.
