Outlining function without subtotals
Hello,
I am looking for a way to add the outlining qualities of the sub-total function without actually having subtotals. I have recently come across a spreadsheet that has the left margin set up with the outlineing feature as if the subtotal function was run, but there are no actual subtotals. The document is a site map and each of the columns indicate the outline level. For example Level 1 Level 2 Level 3 Alpha Bravo bravo-a bravo-b Charlie Charlie-a Charlie-c Charlie-c-1 Charlie-c-2 If I click on the level one filter in the outline bar, only the level one items appear, but I can select the individual areas to explode (I could click on the "+" button next to Charlie to see the detail of Level 2, then click on "+" next to Charlie-c to see that detail). |

Select The necessary rows or columns and go to Data | Group and Outline |
Group to do this manually. To extend your Subtotals analogy, you should group the rows or columns similarly to how they are done with subototals. You'll likely have to play a little to get it to work the way you want. Here's a reasonable explanation with screenshots: http://cma.zdnet.com/guides/qa_excel...22001_007.html tj "Jeff" wrote: Hello, I am looking for a way to add the outlining qualities of the sub-total function without actually having subtotals.
