Hello, I’m trying to add the content of an airtable table to a list but in this way I think I only insert the last record. How should I create a multilevel list? so I can reuse the list without having to reread from the table. Thanks Andrea ![image](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex015/uploads/thunkable/original/3X/a/9/a97e24eb28a14bdd07ba023048da3f6847e0b130.png) ---

That’s definitely not going to work because you’re creating a list with four items and they keep getting replaced every time the loop increments. You can take a single row or single column and place it in a list variable but I don’t know if there’s any way to capture an entire table in a list variable. I guess if you could nest a list within a list (e.g. item 1 of the list is a list) then it might be possible. And this PDF indicates that lists of lists are possible: [http://www.appinventor.org/bookChapters/chapter19.pdf](http://www.appinventor.org/bookChapters/chapter19.pdf). ---

yes, sure it’s possibile to store multidimensional data (ex. Airtable table) into lists but really I don’t know how to do it. I’d like implement this kind of way so I can load the data once when the screen open and the use/reuse data without recall Airtable. I think that always the performances are better then recall each time external data. In any case anyone can show me an example of read e use multidimension with list of lists? Many thanks Andrea ---

Hello Commonity, I solved my problem using “list of list” during the store phase. While in the reading phase I use “in list of in list”. Thanks Andrea ---

@Andrea_Marchisio Could you please share how you did this? I’m trying to achieve something similar with nested lists. ---
