13 Apr 20234 minutes to read
You can get the specific row and cell index of the grid by using rowSelected event of the grid. Here, we can get the row and cell index by using aria-rowindex(get row Index from tr element) and aria-colindex(column index from td element) attribute.
index.js
index.html
var grid = new ej.grids.Grid({
    dataSource: data,
    columns: [
        { field: 'OrderID', headerText: 'Order ID', textAlign: 'Right', width: 100 },
        { field: 'CustomerID', headerText: 'Customer ID', width: 120 },
        { field: 'ShipCity', headerText: 'Ship City', width: 100 },
        { field: 'ShipName', headerText: 'Ship Name', width: 100 }
    ],
    height: 220,
    rowSelected: rowSelected
});
grid.appendTo('#Grid');

function rowSelected(args) {
    alert("row index: "+args.row.getAttribute('aria-rowindex'));
    alert("column index: "+args.target.getAttribute('aria-colindex'));
}
