# 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 `getColumnValue()` method. For example, if you require the value of a single column called 'product_name' in a row, you can use this method to obtain that specific value.

You must pass the Column Name of the column as the argument to the `getColumnValue()`method,  as shown in the sample code syntax. You must first fetch an instance of the row as shown 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/flutter/v2/cloud-scale/data-store/create-table-instance).

```bash
dynamic <ROWINSTANCE>.getColumnValue()
```

**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

A sample code snippet is shown below:

```bash
var table = dataStore.getTableInstance(identifier: 'Products');
            try{
            var (response, table) = await table.getRow(id: 2823000000014176)
            print("quantity: ${row.getColumnValue("quantity")}")
            } on ZCatalystException catch (ex) {
            print("GET ROW FAILED: $ex");
            }
```
