    Data -> Group -> Group does not work on A Sheet

    I have a large Excel workbook and one of the worksheets that had Data -> Group (under Outline) turned seem to have lost the groupings I setup.

    I selected the columns to be grouped again and went to the Data Ribbon Bard then the the Outline Area and selected Group -> Group and nothing happens.

    I tried a few times just in case, but nothing. Found it does not work for rows either. Other sheets in the workbook have the data grouping. I then copied this worksheet to a blank workbook, saved it and tried again and still Grouping do not work.

    I selected all the rows and columns and did a few Ungroup type things "just in case" and tried the group again, but nothing.

    There are no hidden sheets or other selections that i can find.

    This is in Excel 2016 (not Office 365) x64.

    Any thoughts or ideas what do try next?

    thanks

    Alan

    Have 'outline symbols' somehow been turned off, maybe?

    Try File → Options → Advanced, scroll down to 'Display options for this worksheet' and check if 'Show outline symbols if an outline is applied' is selected.
    (Those instructions are for 2010, but I think 2016 is similar.)

    ps please update your profile to show that you're using 2016 - it says 2003. Thanks.

    I recently started a new job so am a bit busy and may not reply quickly. Sorry - it's not personal - I will reply eventually.
    If your problem is solved, please go to 'Thread Tools' above your first post and 'Mark this Thread as Solved'.
    If you use commas as your decimal separator (1,23 instead of 1.23) then please replace commas with semi-colons in your formulae.
    You don't need to give me rep if I helped, but a thank-you is nice.

    I never realized you could turn that off worksheet by worksheet.... Not sure how it would have gotten changed.

    I also updated my Office/Excel version to 2016.
