Collapsing groups in Macro
Hi all,
I've been writing a macro at work to re-format a large data set. In order to make this more readable and to allow for better summaries both the columns and rows are grouped (allowing them to be expanded or collapsed). I was wondering if there is away to collapse the groups from within the macro. I would like the default positions of the groups to be collapsed so that when the macro finishes all groups are collapsed. something like: Selection.Columns.Group expand = false or some such.... The macro recorder produced no results and using a search term like groups in a google search produces few useful results! I would imagine from this i would also then be able to make a custom button to collapse or expand all groups (unless this is already possible) I'm using office 97. Many thanks for any and all comments, Cunning |

Collapsing groups in Macro
Just turn on the macro recorder, select the groupings, hide, link the code to
a Button. Here is a method of hiding colored rows (you may or may not find it useful): Sub color_shower() Dim b As Boolean Set r = ActiveSheet.UsedRange nLastRow = r.Rows.count + r.Row - 1 For rr = 1 To nLastRow b = True For cl = 1 To Columns.count If Cells(rr, cl).Interior.ColorIndex < xlNone Then b = False End If Next If b Then Cells(rr, 1).EntireRow.Hidden = True End If Next End Sub HTH, Ryan--- -- Ryan--- If this information was helpful, please indicate this by clicking ''Yes''.

Collapsing groups in Macro
Whilst that is a useful work around for most of the time it wont work for me
currently. The data set im preparing needs to be formatted very specificly as its being passed on to a number of people and feeds into a number of mastersheets. if there isn't a way to do this I'll have to design around it but you'd think it would just be a simple function.... or perhaps a default setting in the master options?

Collapsing groups in Macro
Of course you can program this, or create a script for it. What is the logic?
Selection.Columns.Group expand = false This doesn't really me anything to me. What do you have now and what do you expect to see when the macro fires?

" Selection.Columns.Group expand = false" was the kind of format i was
looking for not the answer. I have a complex macro grouping a couple of hundred rows and columns. I need to be able to collapse those columns...

Collapsing groups in Macro
Sorry to be thick, i still don't think I'm getting it. This will croup
selected Columns: Sub rngtest() Set r = Application.InputBox(prompt:="select range with mouse", Type:=8) r.Select r.Columns.Group End Sub However, I don't know how useful that code is. Maybe it saves you a couple clicks on the mouse, but that's it. Good luck, Ryan--- -- Ryan--- If this information was helpful, please indicate this by clicking ''Yes''.

Collapsing groups in Macro
Grouping rows and columns is easy enough. however, when you group you are
able to to minimise or maximise groups. the thing i want is to be able to set the groups to start minimised. this would let the end user expand if they need but if not just get a summary of sorts. basicly i need the vba command to collapse groups/ minimise groups...
