Hi!

When I group columns or rows, the buttons to expand and collapse the group work just fine as long as the sheet is unprotected. However, if I protect the sheet, I have been unable to find a way to keep formulas protected while being able to expand and collapse groups. Is this possible? Thanks!

Tiny charts, called Sparklines, were added to Excel 2010. Look for Sparklines on the Insert tab.

Hi there...

On your protection settings...Make sure you tick Format Columns... should work then...
