Would be nice to have RadGrid offer the feature to have options to Merge Cells with same contents so the report/grid won't be so busy. Users typically expect this kind of look and feel.
Example & code included:

This ticket discussed it also: 1091013
Others in forums asked about this also in the past since about 2009, if we google on: telerik grid asp.net merge cell. .

Then I found this link among the results from google. Though, I wish there are RowMerge and ColumnMerge properties in RadGrid for us to turn it on/off. That will be wonderful.

This example is also from the following link from the same google search result, the first link.
