In the next step, pass a reference to that `<div>` element into the Handsontable CE constructor and fill the instance with sample data:
```javascript
var data = [
  ["", "Tesla", "Volvo", "Toyota", "Honda"],
  ["2017", 10, 11, 12, 13],
  ["2018", 20, 11, 14, 13],
  ["2019", 30, 15, 12, 13]
];

var container = document.getElementById('example');
var hot = new Handsontable(container, {
  data: data,
  rowHeaders: true,
