Group Tabs in Excel

Basic Grouping

Group worksheets in Excel to modify multiple sheets simultaneously. Click sheet tabs while pressing the Ctrl key to group non-adjacent sheets. For adjacent sheets, use the Shift key instead. This is efficient for identically structured sheets.

Grouping All Worksheets

To group all worksheets in a workbook, right-click any sheet tab. Choose Select All Sheets from the context menu. This method is a quick way to edit all sheets in one action.

Visual Indicators of Grouping

When worksheets are grouped, look for two visual cues. The grouped sheet tabs have a white background, and the workbook name includes [Group]. These signs confirm that you're editing multiple sheets together.

Ungrouping Worksheets

To ungroup, select any ungrouped sheet tab. This action stops the simultaneous editing of grouped worksheets, allowing individual sheet modifications.
