Hello,

In our Excel table, let's say we have column B and column C. We would to group column B into one group, and column C into another group. So we click on column B and choose "Group" and it does the trick. Next, we click on column C and choose "Group", but now column "C" is grouped together with column B.

How can we make it so that column B and C are grouped separately?

Just a bit of background, we are freelensia.com, an online marketplace where companies can book language interpreters for seminars, meetings and exhibitions. We have a large Excel table with +200 columns to manage the attributes of our users. To make the views more user-friendly, we want to group the columns into small groups and sub-groups. However, when the columns are right next to each other, the groups get merged into one another. This is the problem we would like to fix.

Anybody has a solution for this?

Thanks!
