I just wanna let you know that the version of Xcode that I'm working on is 7.1.1. Getting to the point, I have three Pickerviews as is shown in the image below. Main pickerview, left pickerview, and right pickerview.
The array of main pickerview has a group of names, and each name has a group of units, and the right and left pickers are supposed to have the same data. I have made a dictionary in order to sync those groups of units to where it belongs, but I could not do it.
I tagged the main Picker with 1, the left Picker with 2, and the right picker with 3. Also, all the pickers I have linked them with "dataSource" & "delegate".

The main goal is:
I want when I pick a name i.e "Area" from the main picker its group must show or appear in the left and right pickers and so on.
I have done what I have done but I got the following error:
