If you want to refresh the table without adding new data then use this   First  create the API variable of your table like this   var myTableApi       mytable   DataTable       D must be Capital in this    And then use refresh code wherever you want   myTableApi search jQuery  input type  search     val    draw       It will search data table with current search value  even if it s blank  and refresh data   this work even if Datatable has server-side processing enabled

I was having same issue  and the solution was working but with some alerts and warnings so here is full solution  the key was to check for existing DataTable object or not  if yes just clear the table and add jsonData  if not just create new               var table              if    fn dataTable isDataTable   example                      table       example   DataTable                    table clear                    table rows add jsonData  draw                              else                   table       example   DataTable                        data   jsonData                       deferRender   true                       pageLength   25                       retrieve   true    Versions   JQuery  3 3 1 DataTable  1 10 20

The following worked really well for me  I needed to redraw the datatable with a different subset of the data based on a parameter  table ajax url  NewDataUrl parameter     param  load     If your data is static  then use this  table ajax url  NewDataUrl   load

You have to first clear the table and then add new data using row add   function  At last step adjust also column size so that table renders correctly       upload-new-data   on  click   function         datatable clear   draw       datatable rows add NewlyCreatedData      Add new data    datatable columns adjust   draw       Redraw the DataTable       Also if you want to find a mapping between old and new datatable API functions bookmark this

The accepted answer calls the draw function twice  I can t see why that would be needed  In fact  if your new data has the same columns as the old data  you can accomplish this in one line   datatable clear   rows add newData  draw
