I using 218 columns in a excel file.
I need to group in order to see a big summary.
After the 190 column I cannot group any colums, I still have 24 columns to
group, diving in two group. After the group is ready when I press the
button
there is a message saying: Cannot shift objects off sheet.
What shloud I do, I need to see this resume with this 24 columns grouped.

Thanks in advance,
