Glossary

Groups are sets of variables within sections. You can also create nested groups simply by creating a group under an existing group.

Groups can be created as follows:

Hold down the CTRL key and select the elements to be included in the new group.

Press CTRL+G or choose Group Variables in the context menu.

Enter a name for the new group.

Aside from visual organisation in the spreadsheet, groups can also be used for:

These totals will automatically stay up to date as new variables are added, or existing variables are removed, from the group/section.

In the spreadsheet

: hit the sum icon at the top of the group/section row (see

Using Sections

On tables

: add a group/section as a series to add its variables as well as a total row (see

Using Sections

Easily sum (or avg/min/max...) the variables within the group. Just type sum(Group Name) and xP&A will sum all the variables within that group. When variables are added to (or removed from) the group, the function (e.g. sum) will auto-update.

If you add a Group to a table (as opposed to the individual variables), then the table will automatically stay up to date as variables are added/removed from the group in the spreadsheet (see Using Sections).
