You cited this problem of confidentiality in your last post too. Clearly no-one is expecting you to show personal data. But the solution is easy. Fake an example with invented data and then show us your code. Some posts come close to a limiting case "Code I am not showing you on data I am not showing you is not doing what I want. Anyone know why?". It's important to lift yourself clear of that!
