    Hi @sapatos ,

    You cannot add additional columns once the table has been initialised. You can destroy() and recreate the table again once the column has been added to the DOM.

    Cheers,

    Hi @sapatos ,

    No, you're limited to the number of columns that were there when you initialise DataTables. If you add more to the DOM afterwards, as I said, you can reinitialise with either destroy or destroy(),

    how can I add columns I already 5 columns but having problem with table footer for the sum.

    Is the question regarding the ability to sum more than one column based on this example?

    I don't think we are understanding your question. Please provide more detail of what you want to do.
