Insert Visual Breaks Between Groups in a Column...

This tool makes it easy to visually separate groups of rows based on repeating values in a column.
It analyzes one column in your selection, detects where the value changes, and then inserts visual formatting to highlight the group breaks.
You can choose to insert:
  • Empty row(s) between groups
  • A page break between groups
  • A border below each group
          ·  Customize style, thickness, and color
          ·  Apply to the current table or region or the entire row
  • Alternating colors for each group
          ·  Optionally remove existing formatting first
          ·  Apply to the current table or region or the entire row
    This makes your data easier to scan, present, or print.
    Examples of use:
  • Add white space or lines between customers, regions, or product types
  • Visually group transactions by account or project
  • Shade alternating groups to improve readability
    Your last used settings are automatically remembered.
