Grouping/ungrouging problem

Select the rows you want to group and then in the Menubar, goto 'Data
and then 'Group and Outline'
 
I have several rows which give me the totals of information in other sheets.
Let's put it graphically:

This is my main sheet:
_____________________________________
: Type 1 Type 2
: Category A 50 40
: Category B 20 10
: --------------------
: TOTAL 70 50
:
:____________/ Sheet 1 - Totals \____________



The information of the different categories come from sheets like this:
_____________________________________
: Date Type 1 Type 2
: xx/xx/xx 15 10
: xx/xx/xx 5 20
: xx/xx/xx 30 10
: -------------------
: TOTAL 50 40
:
:____________/ Sheet 2 - Category 1 \______




What I would like to do is to be able to have all the information in one
single page and not spread about in a lot of pages. It works like this but
its a mess as by now I need to use 23 pages for the different categories I
use.

Initially I testes putting all the information from the other pages in lists
but I just need the information to be THERE or to be hidden and just see the
totals.

I remember at some point I saw an excel worksheet with hidden rows that
could be simple expanded or reduced with a plus "+" or minus "-" sign on the
left side of the page (with the numbers). I suppose that could be a solution
but I down even know how the command is called or how it works.

If anyone could give me a hand here I would be really greatful. If someone
has any example please email it to me (e-mail address removed)

Thank you,

hi

You will need to use Data/Gruop & Outline/group to use the grouping
feuture.

Take care that u structure info in staircase like structure so that it
becomes easy to total.

Or you can explore the data/Subtotals function also

Or you can create a master data file which will contain information
upto the lowest level in a single file And then you can use pivot table
for summarising it.
