Check if value exists in Datatables

Question

Is there any way to check for a value in any of the row/column of the dataTable without using search ? Search on the data is filtering the displayed rows and I don't want them to be filterer. I just want to check if the value exists or not

Absolutely. Using the cell().data() API call you can get/set cell data like this:

Get

 var cellData = Table.cell(rowIndex, columnIndex).data();

Set

Table.cell(rowIndex, columnIndex).data() = cellData;

Interesting. So the only way to search the data in entirety is to loop through it?
