A filename suddenly has [Group] at the end in title bar. Meaning?
Using Excel 2002 SP3. I have been working with an excel file with the same
file name and path for several years. Today suddenly when I opened the file, the file name on the title bar has [Group] after the name. I also noticed at the same time that several of the formula cells are not getting updated properly until I go to the cell and edit it (making no changes) then it shows the correct value. [ I hit F2 to edit then return with no changes and then the values display properly.]. Does anyone what this [group] at the end of the file name in the title bar means? It is only happening with this one file.... Thanks for any help you can provide! |

Paul,
The [Group] means that you have two or more worksheets grouped together, and any changes made to one will be made to all. Right click a tab and choose Ungroup. -- Cordially, Chip Pearson Microsoft MVP - Excel Pearson Software Consulting, LLC www.cpearson.com "paulv" wrote in message ... Using Excel 2002 SP3.

Look at the worksheet tabs at the bottom of the Excel window; your tabs
(Sheet1, Sheet2, Sheet3) will all be the same colour (white by default) because you have grouped (joined) your worksheets. If you type X in cell A1, then every one of the grouped sheets will get X in A1. To ungroup click on one of the grouped tabs OR right click a tab and select Ungroup Sheets Have a great evening - all is now well! best wishes -- Bernard V Liengme www.stfx.ca/people/bliengme remove caps from email "paulv" wrote in message ...

A filename suddenly has [Group] at the end in title bar. Meani
Chip,
Excellent. Thank you so much! I still don't know why I need to refresh cells that have formulas to get them to display the proper result though.... Let me know if you have any ideas? This seems to have happened at the same time that my worksheets accidentally got grouped together.

See Chip's and Bernard's posts for what [group] means. NOTE: check you data on the sheets carefully. If you don't know how long these have been grouped, you may have done some damage. Whatever you have done on the active sheet will have been done to all others. Gord Dibben Excel MVP On Mon, 28 Nov 2005 12:27:19 -0800, "paulv" wrote: Using Excel 2002 SP3.

Excel takes the Calculation mode each session from the settings on the first workbook opened in that session. i.e. If you saved Book1 with calc mode in manual and opened it first, calc mode would be in Manual. If you saved Book2 with calc mode in auto and opened it after Book1, Book2 would be in manual mode(Excel ignores the auto calc mode in this case). If you close Book1 before opening Book2, Book2 will be in auto calc mode. Confusing enough? <g Gord On Mon, 28 Nov 2005 15:22:04 -0800, "paulv" wrote: Good grief ... that was the problem.
