Is there a limit in the number of columns that can be grouped?

[Petronella Halldin]

Hi, I have a basic queastion, but I can't find any given limitations written
anywhere. I have managed to group, in two levels, columns from "H" to column
"DA". I have more material that I want to group, but the work sheet wont
accept my request.

What happens: I CAN make the group, but when i press the "+"-sign to group
them, I can't. I get a pop-up saying something like: "objects cannot be
moved outside work sheet". If a open other groups, I can close later groups,
but as I write, not all groups.

Who has the answer to this one? Thank you all for you time!

Go to Excel Help menu, type in limits
"Worksheet size 65,536 rows by 256 columns"
Asking for more columns or rows is like standing on the Superdome and asking
Katrina to stop and go back where it came.

Maybe you have some objects that get rearranged when you hide the columns using
your grouping symbols.

This may have some suggestions that work for you. It's kind of a similar
problem.

Remember to look for comments and merged cells.
