Creating Group/ Ungroup

Featured Replies

Hi,

I want to create grouping for my six portal tools. (like in Excel - The list will have a gruouping / ungrouping button)

As I can choose number of items to be grouped, I want to select these portal tools

Please find screenshot of my list attached.

Thank you.

Hi

your request isn't clear to me.

I want exact property of Exel's grouping / ungrouping for File Maker.

Plase see the attachment.

I don't know what Excel's group/ungroup function is really does. Your second screenshot gives a clue, and based on that I'd say to do so would take some fairly advanced skills. I haven't seen anyone else do this.

AFAICT, Excel's grouping is (roughly) equivalent to Filemaker's sub-summaries.

Except with the Excel version, it looks like individual summary breaks are expandable/collapsable, which would be a cool feature.

And the OP wants it on portals.

I believe something could be arranged by changing the sort order and/or switching between two layouts - one with a body part and one without.

I am not sure what that means. I am quite sure, though, that Filemaker is not a spreadsheet and anyone looking for "exact property of Excel's [anything]" is bound to be disappointed.

so from your posts I realize that exact group/ungroup property can not be used in Fileamaker :(

I prefer to put it this way: I am not sure what exactly you want to achieve. It probably can be done - but the tools to be used must be Filemaker tools, not Excel's.
