How to add different Custom Cells in one TableView with Storyboard?

Question

i want to add 2 or more diffrent Custom cells in one Tableview, by using storyboard. i know how to add diffrent cells without storyboard. I always do this by this way:

static NSString *CellIdentifier = @"Cell";
CustomCell *cell = [tableView dequeueReusableCellWithIdentifier:CellIdentifier];
//pictureCell = [[DetailPictureCell alloc]init];//(DetailPictureCell *)[tableView dequeueReusableCellWithIdentifier: CellIdentifier];
pictureCell.header = true;
[pictureCell setHeader];
if (cell == nil) {
    if ([indexPath row] == 0) {
        NSArray *nib = [[NSBundle mainBundle] loadNibNamed:@"HeaderAngebotViewCell" owner:self options:nil];
        NSLog(@"New Header Cell");
}
    if([indexPath row] ==1){
    NSArray *nib = [[NSBundle mainBundle]loadNibNamed:@"productCell" owner:self options:nil];
        cell = [nib objectAtIndex:0];
}

And now my question: How i can do this with storyboard? To add one custom cell is possible. But i can not add two diffrent cell. Can you help me please?

In the attributes inspector for the table view, select "Dynamic Prototypes" and below that select the number of prototype cells. Give each cell a different identifier and when dequeuing cells in cellForRowAtIndexPath, use the appropriate identifier based on indexPath.

enter image description here

- (UITableViewCell *)tableView:(UITableView *)tableView cellForRowAtIndexPath:(NSIndexPath *)indexPath
{
    NSString *identifier;
    if (indexPath.row == 0) {
        identifier = @"OneCellId";
    } else if (indexPath.row == 1) {
        identifier = @"OtherCellId";
    }
    UITableViewCell *cell = [tableView dequeueReusableCellWithIdentifier:identifier];

    //configure cell...
}

thanks!can you post an example how it works with the appropriate identifier based in index path? – Bolot NeznaJu Jul 25 '13 at 17:07
i've done it like you said. And i get an error. "Tableview datasource must return a cell from tableview:cellforrowatindexpath" Maybe i forgot something? I have linked the cell in the storyboard to custom cell, and the labels also. ...NSInteger row = [indexPath row]; NSInteger row = [indexPath row]; NSString *identifier; CustomCell *cell = [tableView dequeueReusableCellWithIdentifier:identifier]; if (row == 0) {identifier =@"ThirdCell"; cell.clubNameLabel.text =@"%@",[clubname objectAtIndex:row]; }return cell;.... – Bolot NeznaJu Jul 25 '13 at 20:27
You're either not getting a cell back from `dequeueReusableCellWithIdentifier` or you're not returning it from `cellForRowAtIndexPath`. From your comment, I would guess it is the former because you're calling dequeue before setting a value for `identifier`. In any case, you should put a breakpoint in `cellForRowAtIndexPath` and step through to see where things go wrong. – Timothy Moose Jul 25 '13 at 20:38
