I recently found from @JordanCClark’s [post](http://forum.inductiveautomation.com/t/script-to-compare-and-return-dataset-values/47462/8) that you can use `getColumnAsList` to get column data from a table as a list 🙂

From him:

```auto
# Get column names. Coerce it to a list to use the same names in the new dataset.
headers = list(dataIn.getColumnNames())

# Get tag paths as a list
tagList = dataIn.getColumnAsList(headers.index('InterlockedTags'))

```

(thanks Jordan - post added to my ignition goodies collection 😁)
