    Question Auto Grouping

    I have a tab in an excel file that is an out report with multiple sections (vertically stacked). Each of these sections have several blank rows at the bottom of it (just a function of needing space for my index match to pull in new information into the appropriate section as the detailed database is updated.

    Currently I need to group and hid these blank rows at the bottom of each section manually so that the report is presentable without a bunch of blank space. I am hoping to automate this so that excel know which rows to automatically group or ungroup based on the condition of having info in the cell (really would be len>0 since these rows do have fomulas in them but just no text). Regardless, any ideas of how to use auto outline or any other functionality that I am unaware of would be super helpful!

    Re: Auto Grouping

    I cannot post the code. Firewall Issue.

    Place data in column A

    Then Run the Macro Test.

    Re: Auto Grouping

    Thanks for the help with the auto grouping macro. This feels really close but I'm struggling to make it work in my file

    Attached is a cleaned up version of my file. The "Weekly Summary" tab is what I am trying to auto group.

    So essentially all those blank rows that I want hidden (e.g., row 8-12, rows 17-24, 28-37 etc) are not technically blank. Can we update this so its essentially driven off len>0 or something similar. I can also add another column to denote yes/no for which rows that should collapse.

    Thoughts or additional help is appreciated.

    Re: Auto Grouping

    I was thinking a formula like "=SUMPRODUCT(--(LEN(B7)>0))" in each row would return a 1 or 0 and we could use that to drive a collapse macro?? I dont know the first thing about macros so its really appreciated!
