Sorting with Groups
Is it possible to maintain cells grouped togther (using the Data-Group and
Outline-Group) when using Autofilter? I have columns A-T with varying lenghts of rows grouped together. I want to be able to filter on specific information in a column (using autofilter) but maintain the group to see what is tied to that particular item. Any ideas? Thanks |

Hi
Not sure what your layout is, but I suspect it is something like Group1 Name1 ID1 Name2 ID2 Group2 Name3 ID3 Name4 ID4 Name5 ID5 etc If so, change the layout to include a group column Name1 ID1 Group1 Name2 ID2 Group1 Name3 ID3 Group2 etc Is that what you mean?? regards Paul Dan wrote: Is it possible to maintain cells grouped togther (using the Data-Group and Outline-Group) when using Autofilter?

Hi
Sorry - last post was nonsense. I didn't read the first paragraph properly. regards Paul Dan wrote: Is it possible to maintain cells grouped togther (using the Data-Group and Outline-Group) when using Autofilter?

Here is what I have
C1 C2 C3 C4 C5 C6 .... C15 R1 apple 2 3 R2 ab ac gd .... r5 R3 ee et tg .... cb R4 cf de ij .... ok R5 pear 4 5 R6 ab ac gd .... r5 R7 ee et tg .... cb R8 tree 3 6 R9 0d 34 4f .... gi Now rows 2-4 are grouped, 6&7 and 9 so that they collapse under their header in columns C1-C3. There is also a filter set up on C1, C2, C5 and C6. (Used Autofilter, then dispalyed the display of the arrors on C3 and C4). Each entry in column C1 may have multiple entries with different data in C4 - C15. Now when I use the autofilter to select "tree" I want to maintain the grouping underneath to see the different information that has been entered.

Hi
My first email wasn't far off the mark then. Simply extend the header information into each row as they are not really headers at all. A proper header for column 1 would be FRUIT for example. So now rows 1 to 4 would all have apple in Column 1 etc. regards Paul Dan wrote: Here is what I have C1 C2 C3 C4 C5 C6 ....
