Grouping Worksheets in Excel: A Step-by-Step Tutorial
Grouping Excel worksheets allows you to make the same edit to every worksheet at the same time. You can select a few sheets to group, or add all worksheets in your workbook to a group. To group multiple worksheets, hold down Ctrl (PC) or Cmd (Mac) as you click the tab of each worksheet. When you're done, ungroup the sheets by holding down Ctrl or Cmd and clicking the tabs of the sheets you want to remove. This wikiHow guide will show you how to group and ungroup worksheets in Microsoft Excel 365, 2019, and all other versions of Excel, for Windows or Mac.
Things You Should Know
  • To group multiple sheets, hold down Ctrl as you click each worksheet's tab.
  • To group all worksheets in your workbook, right-click any worksheet tab and choose "Select All Sheets."
  • To remove a worksheet from the group, hold down Ctrl as you click the worksheet's tab.

Grouping & Ungrouping Selected Worksheets (PC)

Hold down Ctrl as you click the tabs you want to group. You'll see the tabs for each worksheet at the bottom of your workbook. This adds the selected worksheets to a group, which allows you to make the same edits to each sheet at the same time. The grouped worksheet tabs will turn white to show that they are grouped. For example, if you make a spreadsheet with five worksheets listing your monthly expenses (e.g., January, February, and March, April, May), you could select January and March to group them. Once the worksheets are grouped, any changes you make to one worksheet will apply to all worksheets in the group. For example, if you create a subtraction formula in the January worksheet, the same formula will appear in the March worksheet.

To ungroup, hold down Ctrl as you click each grouped tab. When you're finished making changes to the group, you can easily remove worksheets from the group just as you grouped them.
