<h1>Group data</h1>
<p>The possibility to group rows and columns as well as create an outline allows you to make it easier to work with a spreadsheet that contains a large amount of data. You can collapse or expand grouped rows and columns to display the necessary data only. It's also possible to create a multi-level structure of the grouped rows/columns. When it's necessary, you can ungroup previously grouped rows or columns.</p>
<h3>Group rows and columns</h3>
<p>To group rows or columns:</p>
<ol>
<li>Select the range of cells that you need to group.</li>
<li>Switch to the <b>Data</b> tab and use one of the necessary options at the top toolbar:
<ul>
<li>click the <div class = "icon icon-groupicon"></div> <b>Group</b> button, then choose the <b>Rows</b> or <b>Columns</b> option in the <b>Group</b> window that appears and click <b>OK</b>,
<p><img alt="Group window" src="../images/groupewindow.png" /></p>
</li>
<li>click the downwards arrow below the <div class = "icon icon-groupicon"></div> <b>Group</b> button and choose the <b>Group rows</b> option from the menu,</li>
<li>click the downwards arrow below the <div class = "icon icon-groupicon"></div> <b>Group</b> button and choose the <b>Group columns</b> option from the menu.</li>
</ul>
</li>
</ol>
<p>The selected rows or columns will be grouped and the created outline will be displayed to the left of the rows or/and above the columns.</p>
<p><img alt="Grouped rows and columns" src="../images/groupedrows.png" /></p>
<p>To hide grouped rows/columns click the <div class = "icon icon-collapserowsicon"></div> <b>Collapse</b> icon. To show collapsed rows/columns click the <div class = "icon icon-expandrowsicon"></div> <b>Expand</b> icon.</p>
<h5>Change the outline</h5>
<p>To change the outline of grouped rows or columns you can use options from the <b>Group</b> drop-down menu. The <b>Summary rows below detail</b> and <b>Summary columns to right of detail</b> options are checked by default. They allow to change the location of the <b>Collapse</b> <div class = "icon icon-collapserowsicon"></div> and <b>Expand</b> <div class = "icon icon-expandrowsicon"></div> buttons:</p>
<ul>
<li>Uncheck the <b>Summary rows below detail</b> option if you want to display the summary rows above details.</li>
<li>Uncheck the <b>Summary columns to right of detail</b> option if you want to display the summary columns to the left of details.</li>
</ul>
<h5>Create multi-level groups</h5>
<p>To create a multi-level structure, select a cell range within the previously created group of rows/columns and group the new selected range as described above. After that, you can hide and show groups by level using the icons with the level number: <div class = "icon icon-levelnumbericons"></div>.</p>
<p>For example, if you create a nested group within the parent group, three levels will be available. It's possible to create up to 8 levels.</p>
<p><img alt="Multi-level structure" src="../images/multilevelstructure.png" /></p>
<ul>
<li>Click the first level <div class = "icon icon-firstlevelicon"></div> icon to switch to the level which hides all grouped data:
<p><img alt="First level" src="../images/firstlevel.png" /></p>
</li>
<li>Click the second level <div class = "icon icon-secondlevelicon"></div> icon to switch to the level which displays details of the parent group, but hides the nested group data:
<p><img alt="Second level" src="../images/secondlevel.png" /></p>
</li>
<li>Click the third level <div class = "icon icon-thirdlevelicon"></div> icon to switch to the level which displays all details:
<p><img alt="Third level" src="../images/thirdlevel.png" /></p>
</li>
</ul>
<p>It's also possible to use the <div class = "icon icon-collapserowsicon"></div> <b>Collapse</b> and <div class = "icon icon-expandrowsicon"></div> <b>Expand</b> icons within the outline to display or hide the data corresponding to a certain level.</p>
<h3>Ungroup previously grouped rows and columns</h3>
<p>To ungroup previously grouped rows or columns:</p>
<ol>
<li>Select the range of grouped cells that you need to ungroup.</li>
<li>
Switch to the <b>Data</b> tab and use one of the necessary options at the top toolbar:
<ul>
<li>click the <div class = "icon icon-ungroupicon"></div> <b>Ungroup</b> button, then choose the <b>Rows</b> or <b>Columns</b> option in the <b>Group</b> window that appears and click <b>OK</b>,
<p><img alt="Group window" src="../images/groupewindow.png" /></p>
</li>
<li>click the downwards arrow below the <div class = "icon icon-ungroupicon"></div> <b>Ungroup</b> button, then choose the <b>Ungroup rows</b> option from the menu to ungroup rows and clear the outline of rows,</li>
<li>click the downwards arrow below the <div class = "icon icon-ungroupicon"></div> <b>Ungroup</b> button and choose the <b>Ungroup columns</b> option from the menu to ungroup columns and clear the outline of columns,</li>
<li>click the downwards arrow below the <div class = "icon icon-ungroupicon"></div> <b>Ungroup</b> button and choose the <b>Clear outline</b> option from the menu to clear the outline of rows and columns without removing existing groups.</li>
</ul>
</li>
</ol>
