Creating 2 separate but consecutive groups

If I select col C:E and click "Group" those three columns become a group.

If I then select col F:H and click "Group" the previous group C:E is simply extended, and becomes one large group C:H!

How do I create two separate groups C:E and F:H?

Hello,

the grouping functionality assumes that there will be a row (or column) between the groups to total the preceding data. You cannot arbitrarily select adjacent blocks of data and group them. You will need a separator row or column for that. For details see
