1	$('#selectedfile').select2('data')[0].text;

To check if it’s really the value, use:

1 2 3 4 5

$(document).ready(function(){ $("button").click(function(){ alert("Value: " + $('#selectedfile').select2('data')[0].text); }); });

Widget should have selectedfile as id in the options.

1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10

field($model, 'filename')->widget(Select2::classname(), [ 'data' => ArrayHelper::map(Uploads::find()->where(['category'=>'Mailing                                                  Fee Existing Record'])->all(),'excelFile','excelFile'), 'language' => 'en', 'options' => ['placeholder' => 'Select File', 'id' => 'selectedfile'], 'pluginOptions' => [ 'allowClear' => true ], ]);   ?>
