I have Excel 2013.
When I group columns together, I don't see the "+" sign at the top to expand/collapse the grouping.

What's going on?

When did Power Query debut in Excel?
Although it was an add-in in Excel 2010 & Excel 2013, Power Query became a part of Excel in 2016, in Data, Get & Transform Data.
In the Advanced section of the Options, under the Display settings for the worksheet, is the option to display outline symbols unchecked? If so, check it.

Try this:
• Home.Excel_Options
...Advanced
...Display Options for this worksheet
......CHECK: Show outline symbols if an outline is applied

Does that help?

When I try to group the columns, I see a vertical line that's right above the first column signifying that the group was successful.

What I don't see is the + sign that should be above the last column being grouped.

Do you have the option to display all objects set for the workbook?
