I think there is no built-in way to do this, and I am not aware of a brilliant shortcut. But you might write a UDF that collects the desired information for each group (with "groupfield" as parameter, in your example).

Difference in opinions hath cost many millions of lives: for instance, whether flesh be bread, or bread be flesh; whether whistling be a vice or a virtue; whether it be better to kiss a post, or throw it into the fire... (from Gulliver's Travels)
