Creating something like a file manager in Explorer with Excel Dara
I have 4 columns of data. The first is labeled "Category", next is "SubCateogory", and so on. I want to create something like what you see in Windows explorer that allows a user to expand a particular "Category" and see all the "SubCategory" values, and then click a "SubCategory" and see the "Products"...how do you do this???

Sanjay,
You can use a TreeView control to do this. -- Cordially, Chip Pearson Microsoft MVP - Excel Pearson Software Consulting, LLC www.cpearson.com "Sanjay1365" wrote in message ...

You could do this with group and outline under the data menu although you
would need to do the clicking in the outline area at the left of the sheet. See Excel help. It basically hides and unhides rows. -- Regards, Tmo Ogilvy Sanjay1365 wrote in message ...

Thanks Tom - I am plaing around with it right now (Group/Outline). It's not intuitive but I'll take a stab...
