Showing/hiding grouped cells

If you have created an outline for a worksheet (as described in the previous section), you can hide/unhide detail data (i.e., grouped cells) at any time as required.

To hide/unhide grouped cells, use the Outline pane:

A bar with a minus sign outliner_minus is displayed next to grouped cells in the outline pane. To hide the grouped cells, click the minus sign.

A plus sign outliner_plus indicates grouped cells that are currently hidden. To unhide the grouped cells, click the plus sign.

Click the outliner_123 buttons on top of the Outline pane to determine which outline levels to display. For example, if you click the "2" button, all cells with an outline level between 1 and 2 will be displayed.

For rows, the commands Show details outliner_show_details_icon and Hide details outliner_hide_details_icon on the ribbon tab Data | group Outliner can also be used to hide or unhide the grouped cells (corresponds to the plus and minus signs in the outline pane, see above).

Note: When you hide cells, the cells are not only hidden on the screen, but also ignored by charts evaluating these cells.
