Views module: Getting rid of redundant data elements

Hi,

I have a table view setup with 2 columns as follows:

name nics
Core 1 eht
Core 1 sun
Core 1 luc
multiple eth0
multiple sparc
multiple risc

As you can see, a lot of data is being repeated. I would appreciate any advice on how to remove the multiple repeating values occuring in the name column, and perhaps merging the multiple 'nics' associated with each 'name' into some kind of dropdown list to save space?

Thanks,
