Solution 1

Use the columns.render option[^], as demonstrated in this example[^].

JavaScript

$('#Loan').DataTable({
    "destroy": true,
    "jQueryUI": true,
    "data": dsLoans,
    "pagingType": "full_numbers",
    "columnDefs": [
        {
            "targets": 0,
            "render": function ( data, type, row ) {
                if (type === "display") {
                    return "<a href=\"someUrl?account=" + encodeURIComponent(data) + "\">" + data + "</a>";
                }
                
                return data;
            }
        }
    ]
});

Thanks for your reply,

i tried to use your code by help of your given link but as i have a sting array as a data source how can i set for specific column Ex- Account No?

i have tried to select the column based on "row" but failed.. !!

What is "if (type === "display")" ?

With a string array, you only have one column. Use the targets property of the column definition to specify which column you're targeting.
https://datatables.net/reference/option/columnDefs.targets[^]

If you read the render documentation[^], you'll see that the function will be called for different data types - display value, sort value, search value, etc. You only want to add the link to the display value.
