See if this helps you,

> I have a power table which allows the user to select only the cells they want to selected in each column rather than entire rows. I need to get a dictionary or a dataset containing all of the cell values or else the indices that can be used to find the values of the selected cells. I cannot find a way to get this information directly from the component or else add this functionality. If I need to add it, then I was thinking I could just add a tuple to a list in a custom property every time a n…

No because that applies to Vision

The problem is in line 4, there is no attribute implemented _getSelectedRows()_ by default.

You should errase line 4 and iterate over `self.props.selection.data`, like this

```auto
for sd in self.props.selection.data:
     id = sd["ID"]

```

`getSelectedRows()`  
Is a function only on the vision table component.

For the perspective flavor, the selected data is a property. Try

```auto
rows = self.getSibling(‘Table’).props.selection.data

```

Also, keep in mind that this data will be formatted as a Python array of dict, not an ignition dataset, so you will have to access your ID value like `id = row[‘ID’]`
