I have a table with about 30 columns I would like to hide/display various columns. I have included all the appropriate JS and CSS files.
My Jquery code is
$('#rollupTable').DataTable({
"scrollX": true,
"colReorder": true,
buttons: ['colvis'],
select: true,
"columnDefs": [
{ "orderable": false, "targets": 0 }
],
fixedColumns: {
leftColumns: 1
}
});
How do I get the buttons to display? Do I need to add definitions or does it pic that up from the table itself?
TIA

There are a few things to do. This example is for Bootstrap but should give you an idea of where to start.

If you aren't using Bootstrap then you will need to place the Buttons using the
dominit setting:https://datatables.net/reference/button/
Also this gives you the colvis buttons script:
