So I deleted     func tableView(_ tableView: UITableView, cellForRowAt indexPath: IndexPath) -> UITableViewCell { the reason I did it is because on the book lesson that's what it asked for, same as the tableView.beginUpdates & tableView.endUpdates. I'm still learning so I was just following the current instructions. But thank you for your help, I actually changed to } else if indexPath = checkInDateLabelCellIndexPath && checkOutDatePicker.isHidden and updated it to tableView.reloadData() and now everything is working perfectly. About the data model, I do have one I just haven't implemented it yet on the table view controller Again, thank you so much!!!
