Hi

I have this callback

```auto

@app.callback(Output('updatemode-output-container', 'children'),Input('dropdown1_chart8', "value"),Input('dropdown2_chart8', "value"),
              Input('slider', 'value'))

```

and the definition returns this:

```auto

return 'Linear Value: {} | \
        Correlated Value: {}'.format(value, trans_value)

```

how can I make the return print in the dashboard here?

```auto

dbc.Row(
                            [
                                dbc.Col(html.H3(updatemode-output-container, md=12)),
                            ],

```

Set the id on the column, not the H3.

Return html.H3( **return text** )

Let me know if you have any questions:

```auto
dbc.Row(
[dbc.Column(id=‘updatemode-output-container’)
]
)

```

In your callback return this:

return html.H3(Linear Value: {} |   
Correlated Value: {}'.format(value, trans\_value))
