Grouping Two Sheets in Excel

Steps to Group Two Worksheets

To group two sheets in Excel, hold down the Ctrl key and click on the tabs of the two sheets you wish to group. This action enables simultaneous editing, formatting, and data analysis across both worksheets.

Identifying Grouped Worksheets

Once grouped, Excel will display the term "[Group]" in the title bar to indicate that multiple sheets are currently grouped. This visual cue helps prevent accidental changes to multiple sheets.

Advantages of Grouping

Grouping two sheets streamlines tasks such as entering formulas, applying consistent formatting, and editing sheet content in parallel, saving valuable time and effort.

Ungrouping Sheets

To ungroup, right-click on any of the grouped sheet tabs and select "Ungroup Sheets" from the context menu. This action will revert the sheets to their individual states.
