  d is the data in the row. Without seeing your data structure its hard to say exactly but you can access the data and use maybe use toString() or join() to create a comma separated string from an array. Before the return you can use console.log(d); to see the data structure passed to the format function.

  Thanks for your response. The data's format as read from the console (it shows up when I click to reveal the details) looks like:

  console.log(d);
  

  Array(4)
  0: {id: "8", feature_text: "apples"}
  1: {id: "7", feature_text: "bananas"}
  2: {id: "6", feature_text: "peaches"}
  3: {id: "1", feature_text: "grapes"}
  length:4

  The data is accurate.

  console.log(d.dt_features.join());
  

  returns:
  [object Object], [object Object], [object Object], [object Object]

  You have an array of objects. You will need to iterate the array and process the objects. Maybe this code will get you started:

               var output = [];
               for (i = 0; i < d.length; i++) {
                 console.log(d[i].feature_text);
                 output.push(d[i].feature_text);
               }
               console.log(output.join());

  Ah! Many thanks, Kevin, you helped me immensely. I did have to insert 'features_table' between the d and the [], like this:

      var output = [];
      for (i = 0; i < d.features_table.length; i++) {
          console.log(d.features_table[i].feature_text);
          output.push(d.features_table[i].feature_text);
      }
      console.log(output.join()); 
  

  But this is perfect and my understanding is much better. Thanks again.
