Subtotal and outlining

[Abe]

In Excel 2007 how do I subtotal and outline automatically like I used to do
in 2003?

 

[Abe]

Do I need to state this question differently?

Click on the Data tab, look at the "Outline" panel.

In 2003, when I subtotaled, Excel automatically outlined so that if I
collapsed the outline, I see only the rows with the subtotals. How do I do
this in 2007? It seems that 2007 removed a useful tool or at the very least
made it difficult to accomplish.

I apologize. It seems to do what I want in some cases and not in others. My
original list is 400 rows x 7 columns. I can do the subtotal with this but I
am not getting the automatic outline. I took a subset of this list (60 rows x
7 columns) and this time it works! What am I doing wrong with my original
list?

Sorry, I don't play with it enough to tell you that. maybe you have a
error in the listing?
