What is the output of the LISTASSETWITHINDEX function?

The output of the LISTASSETWITHINDEX function is indeed a set containing value and index columns for each item. This function is designed to return structured data that includes not only the asset values but also their corresponding indices, allowing users to identify and reference each asset uniquely.

This set format is particularly useful when working with lists that require indexing for efficient retrieval or further manipulation. Having both value and index columns enhances clarity and usability, facilitating data operations where the position or order of items is significant.

In contrast, a set with just an index column would not provide any context regarding the values associated with those indices, while a list of text values without indices would lack the necessary structure for referencing specific positions. A single string value from the list does not represent the comprehensive output expected from the LISTASSETWITHINDEX function, which targets a more complex return structure that includes both assets and their indices.
