Accessing the data from rendered column in another rendered column<

Khalid Teli

HI,
I was just wondering if it is possible to use data from one rendered column in another rendered column:
For example: data generated in target:6 , can that be use in target:7 so that we don't have to do some calculations in column 7 again?

Thank you

    {
            targets: 6,
            data: null,
            render: function(data, type, row) {
              return 1;
            }
          },
            {
            targets: 7,
            data: null,
              render: function(data, type, row) {
               var summ = table.cells(null,6).render('display').toArray();

              console.log(summ)

              return summ;
            }
          }

See this thread for a way to access the Datatables API in columns.render. Whether value in column 6 is rendered in time for column 7 to use it is another question. You can test it to see if it works for your case as I can see it might not in all cases.
