You merge the row according to condition. Here is a good example
http://www.codeproject.com/Articles/34337/How-to-merge-cells-with-equal-values-in-a-GridView
public static void MergeRows(GridView gridView)
{
for (int rowIndex = gridView.Rows.Count - 2; rowIndex >= 0; rowIndex--)
{
GridViewRow row = gridView.Rows[rowIndex];
GridViewRow previousRow = gridView.Rows[rowIndex + 1];
for (int i = 0; i < row.Cells.Count; i++)
{
if (row.Cells[i].Text == previousRow.Cells[i].Text)
{
row.Cells[i].RowSpan = previousRow.Cells[i].RowSpan < 2 ? 2 :
previousRow.Cells[i].RowSpan + 1;
previousRow.Cells[i].Visible = false;
}
}
}
}
