Excel outlines

How do I manually 'outline' a few rows rather than using 'auto-outline' which applies to the whole sheet?

RE: Excel outlines

Dear Nicola

Thank you for attending Excel Intermediate course!! I hope you enjoyed the course and benefited from it.

Creating outlines manually is quite straight forward. Please refer to the excel file that I have uploaded with this post.

You will notice that I have a list of staff where there are no formulae or function but I still wanted to group my data by departments.

The most important thing you will notice is that for every dept I have created a heading (I simply inserted a new blank row and then copied and pasted the heading)

I then manually selected all the rows for a specific department (EXCLUDING the dept. heading) and then choose Data > Group and Outline > Group...

I manually did this for all the departments. You can see the result!!

I hope this has answered your query.

If this has answered your query then I would request you to please mark the question as resolved!! If not and you have a specific question related to this then please post it as a new question and we should be able to provide you the solution for it!!

Kindest Regards
