Getting Contents or Value of a Cell?

I have:

set variable to item 1 of table view "tableview" of scroll view "scrollview" of window "window"

but it dosnt return the actually contents of the cell… and when I try using words like “contents of” or “item value” it errors

any ideaS?

So in depth :rolleyes: :

tell data row 1 of data source 1 of table view "whatever" of scroll view "whatever" of window "whatever"
	contents of data cell 1
end tell
