Thread Shed step 11

I am really stuck on step 11 for Thread Shed. Everything in my code has worked fine up until now. I watched the video because I got stuck and for the most part, with some small changes, I don’t see any differences in what they have versus what I have.

With the below, under the “Separating Values” comment, this code snippet outputs the same sublists over and over. I also tried to make nested for loops but that only repeated the respective values within the first sublist. What is it that I am doing wrong?

Line 138

for data in transactions_clean:

data is a package, and indexable so we have two ways to work with it.

    customers.append(data[0])
    ...

or

    a, b, c = data
    customers.append(a)
    sales.append(b)
    thread_sold.append(c)

THANK YOU SO MUCH!! I had overlooked that entirely!
