Merge cells in a kendoGrid.

[SANDRO]

Hello good day.

I have a KendoGrid where there are two rows for each record, the first two fields are repeated, I would like to merge two cells and make a single row with them, but the rest of the fields belonging to those records remain in their two different rows.

I show how it looks right now:

 

I show how I want it to look:

 

Thank you so much.

Hi Sandro,

At this stage, merging rows in the Grid is not officially supported, however, you can implement some custom logic to achieve this. Below I am posting two SO threads discussing this topic: 

• https://stackoverflow.com/questions/70469675/does-kendo-grid-support-cell-merge-or-not

• https://stackoverflow.com/questions/25682573/how-to-merge-cells-in-kendo-ui-grid

In addition, there is already a feature request in our Feedback Portal for this a highly recommend you cast your vote for it. Usually, the items that gain lots of popularity are included in the roadmap for implementation.

Alternatively, another recommendation would be to store a collection of the repeated records in the model definition and display them as comma-separated values within a given column. You can think of it as a circular relation.

We have a readily available sample in our official GitHub Repository that tackles such an approach:

Here is a list of all the configuration files:

• Controller

• View

• Model

I hope this information helps.

Kind Regards,
