Grouping Worksheets in Excel

Grouping worksheets in Excel streamlines the process of modifying multiple sheets simultaneously. Employ this feature when sheets share a common layout and structure to efficiently perform uniform tasks.

Steps to Group Worksheets

To group non-adjacent sheets, hold the Ctrl key and click each sheet tab you wish to group. For adjacent sheets, click the first tab, hold the Shift key, and click the last tab. To group all sheets, right-click any sheet tab and choose 'Select All Sheets'.

Once grouped, sheets display a white background on their tabs and the workbook title includes "Group", serving as a visual confirmation of the grouping.

Ungrouping Worksheets

To ungroup, right-click any grouped sheet tab and select 'Ungroup Sheets'. This action removes the white tab background and the "Group" indicator from the workbook name.
