Consolidating tabs
When using the consolidation function and linking to the original data, the consolidation tab has + signs down the left hand side, how can I get rid of these?
RE: Consolidating tabs
Hi Katie
Thank you for your question, and apologies for the delay in replying.
The + signs that you see is an outline which is automatically created so that the linked figures are able to be displayed or not displayed on that spreadsheet.
The outline is only visible on screen - if you were to print the spreadsheet you can't see them.
If you remove the outline (Data - Outline - Group and Outline - Clear Outline) all the figures are displayed but the labels that are next to the figures don't really make sense. Try removing the outline and see what you think.
