# Get Column Value from Row

You can retrieve a specific column's value in a row in a [Data Store](https://docs.catalyst.zoho.com/en/cloud-scale/help/data-store/introduction) table using the `getFieldValue()` method. For example, if you require the value of a single column called 'Employee ID' in a row, you can use this method to obtain that specific value.

You must pass the Field Name of the column as the argument to the `getFieldValue()`method, as shown in the code syntax below.

The `<TABLE_INSTANCE>` used in the code below is the instance defined in the [Table Instance page](https://docs.catalyst.zoho.com/en/sdk/android/v2/cloud-scale/data-store/create-table-instance).

```bash
<TABLE_INSTANCE>.getRow(
        id : Long,
        success: (ZCatalystRow) →  ZCatalystRow.getFieldValue(fieldAPIName: String): Any,
        failure: ((ZCatalystException) → Unit)?
        ): ZCatalystRequest<ZCatalystResponse<ZCatalystRow>>?

```

**Parameters**:

* `id`: The The [unique ROWID](https://docs.catalyst.zoho.com/en/cloud-scale/help/data-store/records/#create-a-new-record) of the particular row that needs to be retrieved
* `fieldAPIName`: The name of the column whose value needs to be fetched

A sample code snippet is shown below:

```bash
ZCatalystApp.getInstance().getDataStoreInstance().getTableInstance("EmployeeDetails").getRow(2823000000054062, // Replace this with your table name and the ROWID of the row
    {
        row ->
        println(" The value of 'Employee ID' field is :${row.getFieldValue("EmployeeID")}") //Replace this with your column name
    },
    {
        exception -> println("Failed to get the column value! $exception")
    })

```
