I get the value from a lookup table. It has a starting string "Form:"  
I wanted to try transform options and that got the output in the form of a dataset. how would I pick second row.

To select a particular cell in a dataset you can use the following syntax:

Dataset [**Row** , **Column**]

In your case, to get the first column of the second row you would do:

```python
{value}[1,0]

```

You can also achieve your desired outcome with a single expression:
