Hi everybody,
why do I need a double set of brackets ( [[]] )?
Just the syntax I need to use? Or is there any specific reason?

Thank you,
Dario

I believe it’s just the correct syntax, but I could be wrong.

I had the same question: its requiring us to use a List of Lists syntax but unclear why, only that it breaks if we don’t.

It seems to be possible. I have switched the colums and it still worked.
