Hi @xiaodai and welcome to the Dash Community! 🙂

The properties of the DataTable can absolutely be used as inputs to a callback. 🎊 You just need to use a valid table property - such as “data” or “columns” or one of the many other many table properties. (`'table1'` looks like it might be an `id` ?)

If you post a little more code - like a minimal example that will reproduce the error, it will be easier to help. See more information here: [How to Get your Questions Answered on the Plotly Forum](https://community.plotly.com/t/how-to-get-your-questions-answered-on-the-plotly-forum/40551)
