    @suslucoder If you would have read documentation (https://doc.qt.io/qt-5/qtreewidget.html#insertTopLevelItems) you would know that insertTopLevelItems expects a list and not single value...
    Also, you're supposed to add QTreeWidgetItem to the tree and not QString.

    ok. I did it like this way, but it added the first row always, or should i say column i guess. I want to see my datas like in table widget

    ```
        QTreeWidgetItem *gps = new QTreeWidgetItem(ui->treeWidget2);
       gps->setText(0, tr("GPS"));
    
    QTreeWidgetItem *gpsChild = new QTreeWidgetItem(gps);
    gpsChild->setText(0, gpsList.at(0));
     gpsChild->setText(1, gpsList.at(1));

      Please use correct wording, else it is hard to understand.
      Do you mean you only got one row with all elements of gpsList as columns?
      This is exactly what your code is doing.
      I ask you again to take a look at the link I posted, especially this part:

      QTreeWidget *treeWidget = new QTreeWidget();
      treeWidget->setColumnCount(1);
      QList<QTreeWidgetItem *> items;
      for (int i = 0; i < 10; ++i)
          items.append(new QTreeWidgetItem(static_cast<QTreeWidget *>(nullptr), QStringList(QString("item: %1").arg(i))));
      treeWidget->insertTopLevelItems(0, items);

            @jsulm I did it like that, is there anything seems wrong?

            ```
               QTreeWidgetItem *imu = new QTreeWidgetItem(ui->treeWidget2);
              imu->setText(0, tr("IMU"));
            
            QList<QTreeWidgetItem *> imu_items;
            for (int i = 0; i<imuList.size(); ++i)
            {
                imu_items.append(new QTreeWidgetItem(static_cast<QTreeWidget *>(nullptr), QStringList(imuList.at(i))));
            }
            imu->addChildren(imu_items);

              No.

                    @suslucoder Change treeWidget->setColumnCount(1); to treeWidget->setColumnCount(2); And then add your second column in each item:

                    imu_items.append(new QTreeWidgetItem(static_cast<QTreeWidget *>(nullptr), QStringList(imuList.at(i) << "SECOND_COLUMN_VALUE")));
