Grouping Repeating Data with Additional Information in Word using TablegroupStart and TablegroupEnd
TableGroupStart adds the benefit of displaying multiple field values within the heading. In addition to TableGroup, you can also group on a value in a table by including a pair of special merge fields, {{TableGroupStart:DatasetName:FieldName}} and {{TableGroupEnd:DatasetName:FieldName}}.
TableGroupStart is very similar to TableGroup in that it lets you group on a field in your detail data; however, TableGroupStart adds the benefit of displaying multiple field values within the heading.

These fields must exist in a single table cell. The FieldName in the {{TableGroupStart}} and {{TableGroupEnd}} fields must not contain hyphens (-) or colons (:). If your FieldName does contain these, use the SCHP parameter.
