There are two ways to do this. One is to go to DATA, SUBTOTAL. This will
add the "twisties" with subtotals on all the data in the table.

The other way is to go to DATA, GROUP AND OUTLINE. This will add the
"twisties" on the specific columns or rows that you want.

How do I set up a hierarchy in excel, the kind where you get a + and - in the

the hierarchy for that row, clicking the - collapses it?

There is NO description of this in the Excel help documentation. I have it
now only because I have exported from a hierarchical grid (Infragistics grid)
to Excel -- it MUST be available outside of exports to...

Thank you!
