You can get those outlining symbols a couple of ways.

One is to sort your data by a key column, then use Data|Subtotals.

Another way is to select some rows and use Data|Group. (This takes a lot more
manual effort.)

One has detail level (all products sold)
The next is summarized by department
The next is summarized by shops
There are "+" signs on the side of the workbooks that look like a function
but I do not know how to do this.
can you help me to use this function?
Thanks
