Excel outlines

How do I manually 'outline' a few rows rather than using 'auto-outline' which applies to the whole sheet?

RE: Excel outlines

Dear Nicola

Thank you for attending Excel Intermediate course!! I hope you enjoyed the course and benefited from it.

Creating outlines manually is quite straight forward. Please refer to the excel file that I have uploaded with this post.

You will notice that I have a list of staff where there are no formulae or function but I still wanted to group my data by departments.

The most important thing you will notice is that for every dept I have created a heading (I simply inserted a new blank row and then copied and pasted the heading)

I then manually selected all the rows for a specific department (EXCLUDING the dept. heading) and then choose Data > Group and Outline > Group...

I manually did this for all the departments. You can see the result!!

I hope this has answered your query.

If this has answered your query then I would request you to please mark the question as resolved!! If not and you have a specific question related to this then please post it as a new question and we should be able to provide you the solution for it!!

Kindest Regards

Excel tip:

Use the Ctrl-key for quick navigation in Excel 2010

If you want to move quickly to the right, left, top or bottom of your spreadsheet, just press Ctrl and one of the arrow keys. If you want to then select all the data in that particular row or column, hold down the Shift key and press Ctrl and an arrow key.
