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.

Excel tip:

Hiding and unhiding columns using the keyboard

CTRL + 0 hides your columns and CTRL + SHIFT + ) unhides them although you would need to highlight the column letters either side as per normal
