If you are working on multiple sheets within Microsoft Excel, it can be handy to group worksheets.
Grouped sheets allow you to edit the same cells across multiple sheets.
This article will teach you how to group worksheets or a sheet tab, ungroup sheets, and all the sheet grouping information you need.
Grouping Multiple Worksheets in Microsoft Excel
Grouping worksheets in Excel is a fantastic option for an Excel workbook containing multiple worksheets with differing data but in the same layout and with the same calculations.
Hold down the CTRL key to group worksheets in Excel and select every worksheet you want to group.
You will notice that grouped sheets show a white background, while ungrouped sheets show a grey background.
Grouping All Worksheets in Microsoft Excel
When you hold down CTRL within your active sheet, you can choose multiple worksheets in Excel and group them. That is a good option if you only have two or more sheets, but this becomes impractical when you have many more sheets.
You can save time by choosing one sheet and right-clicking on it to group all the worksheets from your Excel workbook. This option will create a small pop-up box where you can choose Select All Sheets and group worksheets together.
Ungrouping Worksheets in Microsoft Excel
Finally, once you have stopped changing multiple worksheets, you can choose Ungroup sheets and ungroup several worksheets.
The fastest way to do this is to right-click on a chosen worksheet and click Ungroup Sheets. This option will ungroup selected worksheets.
You may also ungroup worksheets one at a time. Hold down CTRL, and choose the worksheet you want to ungroup. Worksheet tabs you choose to ungroup will go back to a grey background.
