Creating groups and outlines

Where do you start/ what do you select in order to create a group.

RE: Creating groups and outlines

Hi Tamara

Thank you for your question - apologies for the delay in replying. I hope you haven't had any problems with using the outline feature in the meantime.

To create an automatic outline, select the data that you wish to apply the outline to. Then go to Data - Group and Outline - Auto Outline. If Excel can create an automatic outline from your selected data, it will.

If this doesn't work, or you want to group only specific rows or columns within your spreadsheet, then you select the rows or columns you wish to group, then go to Data - Group and Outline - Group. An outline area will appear at the top or side of your screen (depending if you've grouped rows or columns) and you will be able to collapse and expand your group using the outline area.

I hope this is useful.
Amanda

Excel tip:

Formula for last day of month

In some cases it is necessary to find the last day of a month for a given date. If you use the following formula, you can achieve this, ie; if you have a column of dates, use this formula to find the end of month for each day by using the fill handle. The formula is as follows, and assumes in this example that the first date in question is in cell C5, in any other cell type; =DATE(YEAR(C5),MONTH(C5)+1,1)-1
