TL;DR:
Does anyone know how to show on InDesign file one table field that represents "Category" and under that all other table entries that have that same "category"?

Details:
I have to create catalog with InDesign, right now I'm stuck with data merge but I'm open for any other way to do this. Situation is next:

I have spreadsheet with informations formated like this:

And my InDesign file should show like this:

What differs my question and my project is that under categories I have subcategories but I'm thinking if I manage to figure out how to handle categories I could do the same for SUBs.

I think it would be easier to do in excel and then import that file as regular table to indesign (remember to check "keep imported text files linked" so you will have auto updated file).
What I would do in excel would look like this

You could also merge cells in indesign but then you would need to do it again when excel file is updated or changed.
