Grouping/Ungrouping Sheets:

Grouping sheets has the following advantages:

• Allows setting the print options for a number of sheets at once.
• Allows changing an item from the View tab in the Options dialog box (Tools menu).
• Allows applying formats to many sheets.
• Allows unhiding of rows and/or columns simultaneously.
• Allows typing/inserting text or formulas for the same cell address in all grouped sheets.
