**Edit:**

Here’s the creation of the datatable using custom struct.

Although, I’m using a C++ struct here, this method will work for **blueprint structs** as well.

```
USTRUCT(Blueprintable)
struct FExampleDatatableRow : public FTableRowBase
{
	GENERATED_BODY()

	UPROPERTY(EditAnywhere, BlueprintReadWrite)
	FString SomeVar;
};

```

And to get data from such data table in C++:

```
UDataTable* DataTable; // populate it however you want
const FName RowName = FName("SomeRow");
FExampleDatatableRow* FoundRow = DataTable->FindRow<FExampleDatatableRow>(RowName, "");
```
