| When you want to group by a combination of several tags and dimensions, like `SERVICE` along with various tags (e.g., `team`, `project`, `aws:createdBy`), you might see duplicated data. This happens because of a [limitation](https://docs.aws.amazon.com/aws-cost-management/latest/APIReference/API_GetCostAndUsage.html) with the `GetCostAndUsage` API, which only allows grouping costs by two different groups. | ||

| To avoid data duplication, it's recommended to group data using two groups at once. |

Is there a problem in using just one member in the group?
I guess, by group you meant - one tag + one dimension / two tags / two dimensions.
It would be best to explain this a little bit more, i think
It may be best to rephrase recommended to group data using two groups at once.. The word group when used in two different context makes it more confusing.

To avoid data duplication, it's recommended to aggregate data using a combination of two attributes, which can be either: one tag and one dimension, two tags or two dimensions. do you think this makes more sense?
