Excel outlines

Outlines, why use them? When you could maybe hide or freeze?

RE: Excel intermediate

Hi Emily

Thank you for your question.

To explain the difference between some of these features:

Freeze panes is used when you want sections of your screen to remain in place when you scroll through your spreadsheet (for example, you want to be able to see headings for your rows or columns when you scroll).

Hiding is used to temporarily 'hide' columns or rows of data from your spreadsheet. This may be for viewing or printing purposes, e.g. if there are only certain columns of the spreadsheet that someone wants a print out of.

To bring hidden columns or rows back, you can 'unhide' them.

Outlining also allows you to hide and unhide columns or rows of data, but instead of selecting the columns or rows and selecting the Hide or Unhide option, it gives you a little symbols and numbers that are visible at the top and left side of the screen that you can use to control the visibility of data. So using an outline is sort of like a shortcut to hiding and unhiding data.

I hope this makes sense.

Hi Amanda,

Thanks for your reply. I tried to print out the notes from the CD this weekend but there does'nt seem to be anything on the cd? Did anyone else have that problem?

RE: Excel intermediate

Hi Emily

I haven't heard from anyone else who has had the same problem, but I can either send you a zipped folder which contains the CD content, or I can arrange to have another CD mailed to you. Which would you prefer?

Amanda

Excel tip:

How to Remove Duplication's from a selection of data in an Excel 2010 Worksheet

It would take far too much time to scan through rows and rows of data to find and remove duplicate data. So, here's how to do this using a much more efficient method:-

1) Select the data that might contain duplication's
2) Click the ''Data'' tab
3) Go to ''Data Tools'' and click ''Remove Duplicates''
4) A box will appear. Tick the boxes of the columns that you want to use to check for duplicates. Finally, click ''OK.''
