But i want it like this.

NoReg |Emresa  |Caracteristicas	        |Origen	     |Destino
3	  |INFOTEP |MINIBUS  CONFORTABLE    |LA VEGA	 |PUERTO PLATA
3	  |INFOTEP | 			            |MAO	     |SANTO DOMINGO OESTE

I want to remove duplicate values in Caracteristicas column and want to merge it.
I am new to C# and don't know how can i achieve this.
Any help would be highly appreciated.
Thanks in advance.

What I have tried:

DataSet ds = ReceiptDataDAL.GetData(val);
                DataTable dtResult = ds.Tables[0].Copy();
                DataTable dt = new DataTable();
                DataColumn dc = new DataColumn("col1", typeof(String));
                dt.Columns.Add(dc);
                // var dt1 = ds.Tables[0].AsEnumerable()
                //.Select(g => g.Field<string>("Caracteristicas")).Distinct().OrderBy(k => k).ToArray();
                var distinctRows = ds.Tables[0].AsEnumerable()
               .Select(g => g.Field<string>("Caracteristicas")).Distinct().OrderBy(k => k).ToArray();
                DataRow dr = dt.NewRow();
                
                foreach (string name in distinctRows)
                {
                    int i = 0;
                    var rows = ds.Tables[0].Select("Caracteristicas = '" + name + "'");
                    string value = "";
                    foreach (DataRow row in rows)
                    {
                        value += row["Caracteristicas"] + "\n";
                    }
                    value = value.Trim(',');
                    dr[0] = value;
                    dt.Rows.Add(value);
                    dt.Rows.InsertAt(dr,0);
                    value = "";
                    i++;
                }

                var output = dtResult;

If you're getting the data from a database, use DISTINCT. Otherwise, just create your data source in a list, by using LINQ and Distinct.
