Maybe you could insert some small empty columns to make the selection easier.

The problem seems to be that the summary colum is the same for both the group
and the sub-group. For example, the top group is columns I through M. The
sub
group is columns J through M. Sometimes I want to hide I throuh L, and
sometimes I want to hide J through L and leave I showing. It won't let me do
that. I don't know why.

Maybe you're not changing the range when you're applying the secondary grouping.

Try it with a smaller set of columns.

I have a set of columns in a group. Within that set I've made a sub-group.
For some reason the +/- doesn't appear for the nested group, so I can't hid
just those columns. For some reason I don't have this problem with rows.
With rows if I make a group within a group the +/- boxes appear for both and
I can hide or unhide them with ease. But for columns the +/- box only
appears in the top row. How can I make it appear for the sub-group too?
