Can someone please help to convert this table into responsive, searchable, sortable datatable. Thanks.

Datatables doesn't support rowspan in the tbody. See the HTML requirements for details. A similar question was posted earlier today. Maybe some of the responses will be helpful.

Thank you, I was looking at this forum and want to implement something similar. But the example doesn't work. Do you have link to this working example.

"It is called RowsGroup and is located here: Datatables Forums. A live example is also included."

The first post in the tDatatables thread has a link to the code:
https://github.com/ashl1/datatables-rowsgroup

It is not supplied by Datatables but a third party developer. Looks like it hasn't changed in 8 years.

The provided test case:

Is using the nightly version of Datatables 2.0. It doesn't appear the plugin works with 2.0 which is not surprising. I updated the example to use DT 1.13.11 and it does seem to work:

Any issues with the plugin will need to be supported by the developer. But I wouldn't expect much since develpment hasn't happened in 8 years.
