You have to use this: First take a look what are you extending and then use the tableView method.

    class YourViewController : UIViewController, UITableViewDelegate, UITableViewDataSource {

    @IBOutlet weak var mUITableView: UITableView!

    override func viewDidLoad() {
        super.viewDidLoad()
        // We need to tell to UITableView that we will add the data by ourselves
        self.mUITableView.delegate = self
        self.mUITableView.dataSource = self

        // Register the UITableViewCell class with the tableView
        self.mUITableView?.registerClass(UITableViewCell.self, forCellReuseIdentifier: self.cellIdentifier)
        // Setup table data
        getEvents()

        self.mUITableView.allowsSelection = true   
    }

    func tableView(tableView: UITableView, numberOfRowsInSection section: Int) -> Int {
        return tableData.count
    }

    func numberOfSectionsInTableView(tableView: UITableView) -> Int {
        return 1
    }

    func tableView(tableView: UITableView, commitEditingStyle editingStyle: UITableViewCellEditingStyle, forRowAtIndexPath indexPath: NSIndexPath) {
       //  here to create you cell view      
    }

    func tableView(tableView: UITableView, didSelectRowAtIndexPath indexPath: NSIndexPath) {
        print("You selected cell #\(indexPath.row)!")
    }

    func tableView(tableView: UITableView, cellForRowAtIndexPath indexPath: NSIndexPath) -> UITableViewCell {
        let cell: UITableViewCell = UITableViewCell(style: UITableViewCellStyle.Subtitle, reuseIdentifier: "subtitleCell")
        cell.accessoryType = UITableViewCellAccessoryType.DisclosureIndicator
        cell.textLabel?.text = "\(tableData[indexPath.row].name) - (\(tableData[indexPath.row].eventStateId))"
        cell.detailTextLabel?.text = tableData[indexPath.row].lastUpdate
        return cell
    }
}
