I only want to group each articlerow in one variant at time.

When I need to do this, I use variables instead of key tables, since variables collect only those nodes to be grouped.

Any hint/help would be appreciated

A solution is below. Note in the algorithm that only the nodes in the collection being grouped are examined for uniqueness and revisited for detail. When not needing a node set of the unique members, this technique is very useful.

I hope this helps.
