Description
# What I want
I want to merge cells with same data in a specific row as below. ( Please ignore the "No" column. )

## Current Behavior
I configured the column like this:
( Because it is in the middle of migration from tui-grid, there may be some unnecessary options. please ignore them)
```js
const columns = [
{
name: 'analyst', label: 'ANALYST',
options: {
width: 'auto',
minWidth: 100,
rowSpan: true,
sort: true,
}
},
]
```
I configured MUIDataTable like this:
```
```
And this renders the table like below.

I've read the documentation and search to get the results I want, but couldn't find a way.
Is there any effective way?

Research direction
No source files, tests, or entry points are named in the issue. Start by tracing how MUIDataTable renders rows and applies column options, then determine whether the requested same-value cell merging fits the existing table behavior. Done means the requested row grouping is supported and documented with verification for repeated values.
