## Syntax

[JavaScript]

```javascript
var ret = FpSpread1.GetHiddenValue(row,columnName);
```

## Parameters

***row***
Integer, row index

## Remarks

This method is for use with a displayed spreadsheet, on the client, that may have hidden columns. Both row index and columnName string must be valid. For example, the column name could be the default letter designations (A, B, etc.), alternative designation of numbers (1, 2, etc.), the name of a data table column or bound field, or a custom name (such as Total).

## Example

This is a sample that contains the method. On the client side, the script that contains the method would look like this:

```javascript
<script type="text/javascript">
   function getHValue() {
       var hval = FpSpread1.GetHiddenValue(0,"D");
       alert("Value in Column D is " + hval);
   }
</script>
```
