This one had me scratching my head for a little bit. I had some events in Drupal and was using the fine Date module and had a few with repeating dates. I was able to display the repeating dates just fine, but was getting numerous entries displaying of the event itself.
Not 1 event with the various repeating dates being displayed.
After much head scratching and some digging around I found a solution.
I added a filter of Date (delta) and set equal to 0. So now I’m only grabbing on event instance.
