Hi there!
I'm working on a "Table row click" drill down for one of my Lens tables, my goal is to have a drill down off a hidden field (report Id) to make it easier for the users.
the event.values variable return an array similar to the one below
> report-12345,some\_report\_title,some\_report\_category,some\_report\_score
I tried doing something like
> [https://mysite.com/#/reports/](https://mysite.com/#/reports/) **{{{split event.values "," 0}}**
with the idea of extracting the just the first element "report-12345" but that didn't work. What I get in return is just the array with all the elements
> [https://mysite.com/#/reports/report-12345,some\_report\_title,some\_report\_category,some\_report\_score](https://mysite.com/#/reports/report-12345,some_report_title,some_report_category,some_report_score)
Any ideas on how to use split to extract a given element?
TIA!

this did the trick for me
> {{lookup (split event.values ",") 0}}
