JQuery DataTables Merge Same Row Data
I'm using Jquery DataTables.net. I want to merge duplicate value on data table, example I have:
--------------------------------------------
A | 1 | 2
--------------------------------------------
A | 1 | 4
--------------------------------------------
A | 2 | 5
--------------------------------------------
I want them to be like this :
---------------------------------------------
| | 2
| 1 |---------
A | | 4
|---------------|---------
| 2 | 5
---------------------------------------------
How can I do it on DataTables Jquery? Thank you.
Answer
We need to handle this in HTML Table .. see the below concept.
$(document).ready(function () {
$('#example').dataTable();
MergeGridCells();
});
function MergeGridCells() {
var dimension_cells = new Array();
var dimension_col = null;
var columnCount = $("#example tr:first th").length;
for (dimension_col = 0; dimension_col < columnCount; dimension_col++) {
// first_instance holds the first instance of identical td
var first_instance = null;
var rowspan = 1;
// iterate through rows
$("#example").find('tr').each(function () {
// find the td of the correct column (determined by the dimension_col set above)
var dimension_td = $(this).find('td:nth-child(' + dimension_col + ')');
if (first_instance == null) {
// must be the first row
first_instance = dimension_td;
} else if (dimension_td.text() == first_instance.text()) {
// the current td is identical to the previous
// remove the current td
dimension_td.remove();
++rowspan;
// increment the rowspan attribute of the first instance
first_instance.attr('rowspan', rowspan);
} else {
// this cell is different from the last
first_instance = dimension_td;
rowspan = 1;
}
});
}
