Grouping rows and columns in Excel allows you to collapse and expand sections of a worksheet. This makes large and complex data sets much easier to understand. Views become compact and organized. This article will show you step-by-step how to group and view your data.

You can create groups by manually selecting the rows and columns you want to include, or you can let Excel automatically detect groups of data. Groups can also be nested within other groups to create a multi-level hierarchy. Once your data is grouped, you can expand and collapse groups individually, or you can expand and collapse all groups at a particular level in the hierarchy.

Groups provide a very useful way to navigate and view large and complex spreadsheets. They make it much easier to focus on the data that is important. If you need to understand complex data, you should definitely use Groups and you can also take advantage of Power Pivot for Excel.

The easiest way to create group rows in Excel is to first select the rows you want to include and then group them.
