I have a content type with a Multigroup. (one Node Reference, two Decimals, one Text)
I want to display one instance of the node with each Multigroup entry on one line.
Except that when I try with a node with three entries, I get nine lines, with all three node references listed in each.

What do I need to do?!

I have the same problem here. I haven't found a solution. Does anyone know if there is a way we can do this?

Same issue. :)

I'm trying to do two things with views and multigroup (two text fields in multigroup) -- create a search for one of the CCK fields in the multigroup which works but always displays the multigroup entry 3 times, and the other thing is list all multigroup entries that were posted on the current day.

How do we stop the item from posting/listing in triplicate? I tried checking off the check box option that makes all multiground entries list together but that's not what I am looking for.

Seeing at no one has commented since march 31st, and it's still an ongoing problem I will mark as critical as I need this for a site a client wants. :/

Ahh, more 'critical' support requests. Sigh.

This should be filed against Multigroup. I have no idea how it does its thing, but ordinarily when there are multiple items on a node, the field that displays that item needs to have special handling for it. Multi group would also need special handling of some flavor. Not sure what the Multigroup project is.

Just for the record. Multigroup has been part of CCK 2.x but it never made it to a release status.
It was formerly known as "combo field".
You can read an issue (more like a history changelog) here: #119102: Combo field - group different fields into one

CCK 3.x will ship with multigroup afaik which is a killer feature in my opinion (and needed to simplify some nodereference->contenttype constructs).
There is a new issue which describes the state of multigroup: #494100: State of the multigroup module

This issue is more like a feature request. For example you can't display a table view of multiple multigroup fields correctly at this time which is needed. Maybe this is by design. I don't know much about how a multigroup fieldset is stored. Since i'm not a good coder i am willing to test and give feedback if someone will pick that up.

This should be addressed by some module since more people will request it when CCK 3 arises i think.

Leaving it "won't fix" until then.

cheers, Ronald

Running views 6.x-2.8 is nearly there... I am able to get the multiple entries against one node, although I get an error in my case:
