first cell in tableview array index out of range error - arrays

Question

I have a tableview in which the first cell is different from all the others (I have two custom cells in the table dequeued With different Identifiers). The codes are as below:
func tableView(tableView: UITableView, cellForRowAtIndexPath indexPath: NSIndexPath) -> UITableViewCell {
if indexPath.row == 0 {
let cell = tableView.dequeueReusableCellWithIdentifier("profileCell") as! SbProfileViewCell
//cell.textArea.text = bio[indexPath.row]
//pictureFile[indexPath.row].getDataInBackgroundWithBlock { (fileData, error) -> Void in
if let pic = UIImage(data: fileData!) {
cell.imageView.image = pic
}
}
return cell
} else {
let cell = tableView.dequeueReusableCellWithIdentifier("postCell") as! SbPostsTableViewCell
cell.date.text = dateFormatter.stringFromDate(dates[indexPath.row - 1])
pictureFileOne[indexPath.row - 1].getDataInBackgroundWithBlock { (fileOneData, error) -> Void in
if let downloadedImageOne = UIImage(data: fileOneData!) {
cell.imageArea.image = downloadedImageOne
}
}
cell.textArea.text = text[indexPath.row - 1]
return cell
}
}
i'm getting the array out of index error for the commented lines and i'm also uncertain about whether using [indexPath.row - 1] would yield the effect I want (I want the second cell of the tableview to display the first object in the array), hope i explained everything ok, please help! thanks
EDIT
var dates = [NSDate]()
var autoBio = [String]()
func getPosts() {
let getPostsQuery = PFQuery(className: "allPosts")
getPostsQuery.whereKey("userId", equalTo: userNumber)
getPostsQuery.limit = 15
getPostsQuery.orderByDescending("createdAt")
getPostsQuery.findObjectsInBackgroundWithBlock { (posts, error) -> Void in
if let posts = posts {
self.dates.removeAll(keepCapacity: true)
for post in posts {
self.dates.append(post.createdAt as NSDate!)
}
}
print(self.dates.count)
}
}
func getBio() {
let bioQuery = PFQuery(className: "bios")
bioQuery.whereKey("userId", equalTo: userNumber)
bioQuery.limit = 1
bioQuery.findObjectsInBackgroundWithBlock { (bios, error) -> Void in
if let bios = bios {
self.bio.removeAll(keepCapacity: false)
for bio in bios {
self.bio.append(bio["about"] as! String)
}
}
}
print(self.bio.count)
}
i put getPosts() and getBio() in viewDidLoad. And I tried printing the bio and dates count as the end of these func and they do return a number > 0 so the arrays should be filled. Any idea what's wrong?

You should try using the first cell as Section Header cell...
override func tableView(tableView: UITableView, viewForHeaderInSection section: Int) -> UIView? {
let cell = tableView.dequeueReusableCellWithIdentifier("profileCell") as! SbPostsTableViewCell
return cell
}
