Select a group of cells
Draw a selection rectangle within the grid to select a group of cells from a table or worksheet.
You can select a group of cells within a table or worksheet by drawing a selection rectangle around a collection of cells in the grid. The Trillion-Row Spreadsheet then uses two separate operations to reduce the table or worksheet to only those cells contained within the rectangle.
First the Trillion-Row Spreadsheet utilizes the select operation to select rows within the rectangle. Second, any columns that fall outside of the rectangle are hidden from the grid with the arrange operation. The results of your selection are displayed in the grid and the two operations are added to the Analysis Timeline.
You have the option of viewing the results of the selection within the same TRS window or as a new worksheet in a separate TRS window.
