I have done this before, but not using SQLFORM.grid In a nutshell
1. Create table tag 2. create your table header 3. create a temp variable last_item_name and set to None 4. loop through all the data you're going to display 5. in the item_name column, check if the current item name is equal to last_item_name - if it is, put blanks in that cell, if not, put the item name 6. set last_item_name = current item name Not pretty or clever, more of a brute force way to get it to work. -Jim On Wednesday, October 27, 2021 at 9:56:28 AM UTC-5 Clemens wrote: > Have a look here: > > http://www.web2py.com/books/default/chapter/29/06/the-database-abstraction-layer#groupby-having > > Combining this with: > > http://www.web2py.com/books/default/chapter/29/06/the-database-abstraction-layer#sum-avg-min-max-and-len > > Is it what you need? > > Best regards > Clemens > > > On Wednesday, October 27, 2021 at 4:44:11 PM UTC+2 mostwanted wrote: > >> I have a sales database table that records items sold in a store, an item >> can appear several times in the table having been sold several times or in >> different days.
