Hi,

I received a excel file, where there is "+" sign on the left. If I click it,
it expands and click it again collapses. What is that for?

Also I see "1", "2" on the top left. If i click "1" all the "+" expand and
if I click "2" all of them collapse.

What is the difference in these two formulas:
=+A32+A31
=A32+A31

See "About using outlines" in XL Help.


The "+" in the first formula is superfluous. It's often used by Lotus
users who have switched to XL.

Hi mario,

As for the first part of your question.
It sounds like you are talking about subtotals.

To set this condition up, or to remove the condition.

Select the range and go to DataSubtotals
