i'm looking to find and replace specific values from a known column with the plugin called Datatables.

Here is my code to do that :

table.columns(5).search('valuetochange').cells().every( function () {
  this.data('newvalue');
});

But it is not working, I also tried other solutions but I didn't find a way to update the cells.

Thank you for your help

I have not used search method but alternatively this will definitely work

table.column(5).nodes().each(function (node, index, dt) {
  if(table.cell(node).data() == valuetochange){
    table.cell(node).data('100');
  }
});
