RE: How do I group and outline my spreadsheet?

Hi Claire,

Thanks for the question.

Grouping and outllining your work means you can show or hide various sections of rows or columns alike. The Group and outline option can be found under the Data menu. I suggest you highlight the section (rows or columns) you want to hide first then go into Data>group and Outline and then you can manually group the data, alternatively leave it to Excel and go for the Auto Outline.

Hope that helps

Tracy

Excel tip:

Freeze Rows and Columns to keep lables displayed

You can freeze rows and columns in your worksheet so they don't move.

This allows you to keep row and column labels displayed on your screen as you move through a large worksheet.

Click below and/or to the right of the cell(s) you want to freeze. (NB. Excel freezes ALL the rows above and ALL the columns to left of the selected cell)

Click on the 'Windows' menu and selct 'Freeze Panes'.

Lines appear in your worksheet. The required rows and columns are frozen and remain on your screen as you move through your worksheet.

To unfreeze rows and columns, click on 'Window' menu and select 'Unfreeze Panes'.
