How do I get Excel to automatically group items?
I receive lists of a large number of rows. I would like to have Excel
automatically group based on an item that is the same. For example: Item Date ah 1/5/2005 aa 1/12/2005 ab 1/12/2005 ac 1/27/2005 ad 1/27/2005 ae 1/27/2005 af 1/28/2005 ag 2/1/2005 Is there a way for Excel to automatically group the items so that if you click on you can see all items with the same date. ah 1/5/2005 + aa 1/12/2005 + ac 1/27/2005 af 1/28/2005 ag 2/1/2005 Grouping Manually becomes a pain after about the 1st hundred or so groupings. Thanks |

You can use the DataSubtotals command, to subtotal at each change in date.

Thanks the DataSubtotals worked. I tried using sort but that doesn't
actually group the dates like the DataSubtotals. Thanks again!
