Add tab with ID to hidden columns in Excel

When you hide fields, it would be functional to add a tab to identify those
hidden columns. For instance, you could hide and expand "Employee
Information" contained in several columns while working mostly with other
employee data on a daily basis.

Check Excel Help for "outlining"

I think that covers your suggestion.

You may want to look at selecting columns and then using Data|Group.

You might get close to the effect that you want.

One of the reason MS has given for revamping Excel's UI in Excel 2007 is
that most of the feature users request are already in the product.
