Excel should allow tab groupings.
The way the tabs work in Excel is not very efficient. It would be nice if
you can create groupings for tabs in Excel so that each set of tabs can be placed in its own group. I'm currently working on an Excel document that has about 30 sheets. A lot of sheets are related in one way or another (i.e., Aircraft A speed, Aircraft A acceleration, Aircraft B speed, Aircraft B acceleration). It would be nice to be able to group these in some way so that scrolling is no longer problematic and finding the right tab becomes faster and easier. ---------------- This post is a suggestion for Microsoft, and Microsoft responds to the suggestions with the most votes.

You can re-order the tabs however you like, thus grouping them according to
your preferences. Cheers -- macropod [MVP - Microsoft Word] "Bassam Abdul-Baki" wrote in message ... The way the tabs work in Excel is not very efficient.

You might consider using tab colors to make your tab groups more
distinct. -- Cordially, Chip Pearson Microsoft MVP - Excel Pearson Software Consulting, LLC www.cpearson.com "Bassam Abdul-Baki" wrote in message ...

Agreed.........I use a MasterMenu sheet on a workbook with about 40 sheets,
with buttons to go to each sheet directly, with all sheets being hidden. Each sheet also has a "Return to MainMenu" button, so to go to any sheet from any sheet is only two clicks away...........on the MasterMenu, the buttons can be grouped for Visual optimum......maybe even pictoral, like an Instrument Panel....click on an instrument picture and it takes you to that sheet......... hth Vaya con Dios, Chuck, CABGx3 "Don Guillett" wrote: In addition to the other suggestions, you could set up a list on one sheet with a double click event to quickly goto any sheet on which you double click -- Don Guillett SalesAid Software "Bassam Abdul-Baki" wrote in message ...

Hi Chip,
Coloured tabs are only available on the more recent versions of Excel (2002 and later). Not enough reason for me to upgrade <g.

I do. But it's still not efficient because you have to read all the tebs to
get to what you want. "macropod" wrote: You can re-order the tabs however you like, thus grouping them according to your preferences.

Chuck,
Maybe the double click would be less overhead for you. Just a thought -- Don Guillett SalesAid Software "CLR" wrote in message ...

Excel should allow tab groupings.
Nearing release is my Excel add-in "Determine Colors". It adds a popup menu
to the cell right-click menu. It displays the cell color, font color, pattern color, border color and the sheet tab color. (by name) It may be of assistance to color blind Excel users. I am looking for comments and feed back on the program. If you are interested, please email me and I will forward it to you.
