Input/Output Properties

The following properties of the Table Row Cells block can take input and give output.

  • table (table)
  • row (integer)
  • column n (string)
  • value n

table receives the table from which you want to get values.

row specifies a row index in the input table.

column n specifies a column name in the input table.

value n sets or returns the cell value at the specified row and column n. In addition, updates to the value n property write to the data source if the data source is a Table block. For other data sources, including other block properties that hold the table data type, changing the value does nothing.


Example
