Thanks @ Claude31 That was just too easy to miss. I don't know how I did that.

Okay got it, is it something like this? what do that block of code look like? cell.detailTextLabel!.isHidden =  theSelectedRow != nil && theSelectedRow! == indexPath.item By forward and backward, I mean by scrolling the views (of UILabels), the labels are populated with said arrays.

Sure, the set up is for a calendar. When the user taps a cell from the collectionview.. model view appears with date(cell) details. From there the user can also scroll the individual dates and their details.

Correct... My apologies, I didn't specify. I meant as far as using a reusable Identifer...I was unable to add a cell to the collectionview nor was I able to see the identifier name in the property inspector. So I was wondering if it can be done programmatically.

Thanks, this helped a lot!

Im testing the (position of cells in a collectionview): case 0,6,7,13,14,20,21,27,28,34,35,41: But I can't seem to get the string interpolation to equal the cell position. case 0,6,7,13,14,20,21,27,28,34,35,41: if Int(cell.dayOfMonth.text = "\(indexPath.item)" > 0 { // <=== I get the error on this line. cell.dayOfMonth.textColor = UIColor.lightGray }

Im testing against this: case 0,6,7,13,14,20,21,27,28,34,35,41: The case == the position of cells in collectionview. I am trying to get the string interpolation to equal the cells position. case 0,6,7,13,14,20,21,27,28,34,35,41: if Int(cell.dayOfMonth.text = "\(indexPath.item)" > 0 { // <=== I get the error on this line cell.dayOfMonth.textColor = UIColor.lightGray }
