Common questions about Create and Cancel Group in WPS on Windows usually involve collapsing detail data, grouping ranges, and synchronized worksheet editing; this FAQ includes 4 common questions and a glossary.
FAQ
How do I quickly collapse or expand detail data after creating a group?
- After the group is created, look for the outline buttons on the left side or at the top of the worksheet.
- Click level buttons such as 1, 2, or 3 to switch between detail levels.
- Click the plus or minus button to expand or collapse the corresponding group.
Why can't I create a group successfully?
- Check whether you selected contiguous rows or contiguous columns.
- Make sure the selection does not span scattered areas that should not be grouped together.
- Select the target range again and repeat the group action.
Why do edits affect multiple worksheets after I group worksheets?
- This is the normal behavior of grouped worksheets.
- While worksheets are grouped, edits made on one worksheet are applied to the other grouped worksheets.
- If you want to edit only the current worksheet, ungroup the worksheets first.
Will my original data be lost after I ungroup rows or columns?
- No. Ungrouping only removes the grouping structure.
- The original cell content and values remain in place.
- If needed, you can create a group again for the same range later.
