Grouping


Selecting Multiple Sheets

It is possible to edit multiple worksheets at once by grouping them together.
When worksheets are grouped together whatever you do to one of the sheets is automatically applied to the other sheets in the group.
Grouping is just another name for selecting and there are a couple of ways to do this:
1) Using the Ctrl and Shift keys.
2) Using the Worksheet Shortcut menu.
Whenever more than one sheet is grouped (or selected) the word [Group] will be appended to the workbook title.
