Grouping in excel 2013

Hi, for some reason in excel 2013, when I go to right click on the data which I have highlighted for grouping the option of "group" is not displayed.

Please can you advise on the excel 2013 version?

Many thanks,

Hai-anh

Hi Hai-anh,

Thank you for the forum question.

You can find the grouping option in Excel 2013 if you click the DATA tab and click Group in the Outline group.

RE: grouping in excel 2013

Hi,

Thanks for responding to my question, but it's not coming up with the ranges in boxes like they used to?

For eg: how do you group age ranges from 30-50, 51-70?

The new group function does not seem to let me do this.

Many thanks,

Hai-anh

Hi Hai-anh,


I am sorry but I thought you wanted to group columns or rows.

Is it in a Pivot Table you want to group by age?

If it is in a Pivot Table you need to select one cell inside the row/column you want to group and on the ANALYZE tab under PIVOTTABLE TOOLS click group field.

RE: grouping in excel 2013

Hi,

Many thanks for your help. The ANALYZE tab doesn't seem to exist and I have tried checking in the ribbon.

Please can you help?

Many thanks,

Hai-anh

RE: grouping in excel 2013

Hi Hai-anh,


You only have the ANALYSE tab in the ribbon if you are working with a Pivot Table.

You can only create age groups if you work with pivot tables.

Is it in a Pivot Table you want to group by age?

You can also create a custom filter where you can filter <=50 to see all below 50 and 50.

Excel tip:

Colouring cells containing formulas

Cells in a worksheet can contain values or they can contain formulas. You may wish to identify all the cells in your worksheet that contain formulas by colouring those cells.

Follow these steps:
1. Choose Edit > Go To menu, or press either F5 or Ctrl+G. Excel displays the Go To dialog box.
2. Click Special. Excel displays the Go To Special dialog box.
3. Select the Formulas radio button option.
4. Select OK.

At this point, every formula cell in the worksheet is selected, and those cells can be coloured formatted as desired.
