What does it mean [Group] next to the file name on top of the wind
 

For some unknown reason while i was working in an excel file, the screen
froze and the file changed to a [Group] file, now the graph tools are
desactivated. The graphs that are already in the file cannot even be selected
to be changed, I can see them but i cannot do anything with them....

Just right click on a sheet tab and choose "Unselect all" or something like
this...

translating from the Italian version of Excel...)

Hope I helped you.

Thanks in advance for your feedback.

[Group] means you have more than one worksheet selected.

Take note of which sheets are highlighted in white. These are the grouped ones.

You may have to deal with unintended changes to these sheets.

Check each sheet thoroughly.

While sheets are grouped, whatever you do to one sheet will be done to all,
which can lead to disastrous results if they have been grouped for a while.

To ungroup, right-click on a tab and "ungroup"
