Hello!,

I just binded a text field to a table cell with this expression:

```python
{..../TablaInventario.props.data}[{this.custom.selectedRow}]['Activo']

```

where the text field this.custom.selectedRow == 0 (first row)

Activo is the name of 1st column

The value 500470725 is right...I don´t know why is not showing on the text field.

Is the TablaInventario.props.data a dataset or an array?

It looks like its already selecting the 5004... with the just [0]. so the ['Activo'] is casing the error

Hello Victor, it is a dataset

Later on can be modified through a multiselect filter.

</div>

in the expression language you need to use a slightly different syntax on a datatable. -\> datatable[row,column]

```python
{..../TablaInventario.props.data}[{this.custom.selectedRow},'Activo']

```
