- To access a single cell, it uses a combination of the column name with the row index.

The next few examples will use the following table:

```nu
let data = [
    [date                        temps                                   condition      ];
    [2022-02-01T14:30:00+05:00,  [38.24, 38.50, 37.99, 37.98, 39.10],   'sunny'       ],
    [2022-02-02T14:30:00+05:00,  [35.24, 35.94, 34.91, 35.24, 36.65],   'sunny'       ],
    [2022-02-03T14:30:00+05:00,  [35.17, 36.67, 34.42, 35.76, 36.52],   'cloudy'      ],
    [2022-02-04T14:30:00+05:00,  [39.24, 40.94, 39.21, 38.99, 38.80],   'rain'        ]
]
```

:::

This represents weather data in the form of a table with three columns:

1. **_date_**: A Nushell `date` for each day
2. **_temps_**: A Nushell `list` of 5 `float` values representing temperature readings at different weather stations in the area
3. **_conditions_**: A Nushell `string` for each day's weather condition for the area

#### Example - Access a Table Row (Record)

Access the second day's data as a record:

```nu
$data.1
# => ╭───────────┬───────────────╮
# => │ date      │ 2 years ago   │
# => │           │ ╭───┬───────╮ │
# => │ temps     │ │ 0 │ 35.24 │ │
# => │           │ │ 1 │ 35.94 │ │
# => │           │ │ 2 │ 34.91 │ │
# => │           │ │ 3 │ 35.24 │ │
# => │           │ │ 4 │ 36.65 │ │
# => │           │ ╰───┴───────╯ │
# => │ condition │ sunny         │
# => ╰───────────┴───────────────╯
```

#### Example - Access a Table Column (List)

```nu
$data.condition
# => ╭───┬────────╮
# => │ 0 │ sunny  │
# => │ 1 │ sunny  │
# => │ 2 │ cloudy │
# => │ 3 │ rain   │
# => ╰───┴────────╯
```

#### Example - Access a Table Cell (Value)

The condition for the fourth day:

```nu
$data.condition.3
# => rain
```

### Nested Data

Since data can be nested, a cell-path can contain references to multiple names or indices.

#### Example - Accessing Nested Table Data

To obtain the temperature at the second weather station on the third day:

```nu
$data.temps.2.1
# => 36.67
```

The first index `2` accesses the third day, then the next index `1` accesses the second weather station's temperature reading.

## Using `get` and `select`

In addition to the cell-path literal syntax used above, Nushell also provides several commands that utilize cell-paths. The most important of these are:

- `get` is equivalent to using a cell-path literal but with support for variable names and expressions. `get`, like the cell-path examples above, returns the **value** indicated by the cell-path.
