The List Manager

Excel's List Manager (Figure 13) offers a number of features that make it easier to work with lists.

  • A list frame surrounds the list so you can see exactly what is included in the list.

  • A new record row appears at the bottom of the list, so it's easy to add more data and carry formulas forward to new records.

  • Column headings are kept separate from list contents, so they can never be accidentally sorted into the list's data.

  • Column headings include a Sort and Filter menu that you can use to rearrange or locate records based on column contents.

  • The List toolbar offers buttons and menus specifically for working with lists.
