Hello everyone,  
I just started using Paraview, but I ran into a problem. As shown in the picture, I want to get the gas mass fraction in the selected meshes, but I don’t know how to do it. Any useful information would be appreciated.

Hey @Raymond.Yu ,

one way of doing so is to create a new `Spreadsheet View` and select the option `Show only Selected Elements`.

If you want to display it in the render view you can look at the selection labels in `Menu -> View -> Find Data -> Cell Labels`
