Merge cells - Conditionally

We have a requirement to merge two cells of a row if rows have a common key on table load. Can we achieve this?

KEY COLUMN1 COLUMN_DESC
ABC $200 row1
ABC $200 row2
DEF $300 row3

i want to show rows 1 and 2 of COLUMN1 (they would have same value) as merged cell in handsontable. Is there any handle which i can use to check for key values and merge the two cells?

Hi @vish
you could pass a logic of merging mergeCells via updateSettings method in afterChange callback.
