Grouping of sheets
You can group worksheets, if you would like to edit multiple worksheets at the same time. When two or more sheets are
grouped, every action that is carried on one of them is carried out at the other as well

Shift & Left-click on a sheet

Once you have grouped the sheets, the title
Hold Press Hold the Shift button and click on the sheets of the workbook would indicate that you are
that you would like to be grouped operating in “Group” mode

In order to exit Group mode, you need to go to a sheet which was not included in the
Grouping. The “[Group]” sign at the top of the workbook will immediately disappear

Please, use this functionality very carefully! It is possible to forget that you are still operating under
! !
“Group” mode. Be careful not to do that.
