# Detail Text View of Cell not showing?

Hi I [started writing](https://yourviews.mindstick.com/view/84160/how-do-i-get-started-writing-my-own-blog) a split view app for iPad using the split-view template. In the root [view controller](https://www.mindstick.com/forum/33709/how-to-use-table-view-controller-with-small-sized-in-ios) (the [table view](https://www.mindstick.com/forum/33654/send-table-view-cell-value-on-button-action-in-ios) on the left) I [am trying](https://answers.mindstick.com/qa/36834/which-two-programming-languages-should-i-master-in-if-i-am-trying-to-get-into-google-or-facebook) to set the [detail](https://www.mindstick.com/forum/157518/what-is-svm-algorithm-and-also-explain-it-in-detail) text label of the cells like this:

```
cell.detailTextLabel.text = [NSString stringWithFormat:@"%d",                            indexPath.row];
```

However when I run the app only the main text label (the label on the left of the cell). There is nothing that [shows up](https://answers.mindstick.com/qa/50405/apple-iphone-x-shows-up-liquid-detected-error-when-charging) in the detail label.

What am I [doing wrong](https://answers.mindstick.com/qa/36736/what-are-indians-doing-wrong-on-whatsapp)?
