Grouping and Hiding

Do you know what this is?

This is a toggle that lets you hide and unhide rows or columns in Google Sheets.

You can do the same thing in Excel, and it’s very handy, especially when you have a table that’s gotten a bit bloated, but you’re too committed to the data to delete any of it.

There are two ways to hide:

  1. Right-click and select hide row/column

  2. Right-click, select view more cell actions, select Group column/row

If you’re in Excel, the grouping is in a different place, and you’ve got a sweet keyboard shortcut you can use:

  • Find the manual option in the ribbon by clicking Data, then Group or Ungroup from the Outline section

  • Or you can be more awesome and just press SHIFT + ALT + → to group and SHIFT + ALT + ← to ungroup.
