Ram: Yes i understood almost everything you shared it looks so easy to use and user friendly. Still can you please explain again the set grid layout feature.

Deepak: Sure Ram, Set Grid Layout enables you to arrange the columns according to your requirement and you can change it as follows:

  • Right click on the sheet where in you wish to change the grid layout.
