Suppressing repeating values in grid rows...

[GoodLevitation]

Hello!

I have below grid

ID    Name       Observations

1     Child1     offense type 1
1     Child1     offense type 2
1     Child1     offense type 3
2     Child2     offense type 1
2     Child2     offense type 2
2     Child2     offense type 3

And I like to suppress repeating column values to have below.  Are there any telerik grid properties already to do that?

ID    Name       Observations

1     Child1     offense type 1
                      offense type 2
                      offense type 3
2     Child2     offense type 1
                      offense type 2
                      offense type 3

Thanks in advance

Hi,

You can achieve the above mentioned scenario using Grouping in Grid. Try adding the "Name" field to the GroupByExpression as shown below.

ASPX:

<GroupByExpressions>
   <telerik:GridGroupByExpression>
        <GroupByFields>
         <telerik:GridGroupByField  FieldName="Name" FieldAlias="Name" />
        </GroupByFields>
        <SelectFields>
          <telerik:GridGroupByField  FieldName="Name" FieldAlias="Name" />
        </SelectFields>
   </telerik:GridGroupByExpression>
  </GroupByExpressions>

Thanks
Shinu.

The code you have suggested does not seem to suppress the repeated values in the columns.
It creates a expand/collapse group header, but leaves the group expression columns as they were.

Perhaps you could expand your suggestion to show how it can achieve the requested result.

Thanks.

Hello S,

One possible option in this case would be to access any cell with a repeating value, and alter its value.
I hope this suggestion helps.

Best wishes,
