Traditional jquery wont work on datatable , you have to use API defined methods to get the value. In my case this worked fine to get hidden column value on button click in each row -

$(function () {
       var t = $('#mytableid').DataTable({
            "columnDefs": [{
                "searchable": false,
                "orderable": false,
                "visible":false,
                "targets": [0]
            }]
        });

        $('#mytableid').on('click', '.btnClass', function () {
            var currentRow = $(this).closest("tr");
            var columnvalue = t.row(currentRow).data()[0];
            console.log(columnvalue);
        });
});
