Hi Dean,
You wrote: "I think you (SGIII) are suggesting I should butt separate sheets up to each other, one for the months and the other of the totals. That could make it awkward for printing everything on the proper pages."
I don't see how that substantially changes 'printing everything on the proper pages' from your current setup.
You now "have a table with 24 months of data, a blank "grey" separation column, followed by half-year and full year totals," a total of 28 columns (29 if you also have a column of labels to the left of the data, one fewer if you do not have a totals column for the second half of the year).
To convert that to what SG has suggested:
- click any cell to activate the table
- click the column reference tab for the blank (grey) column. Use the Table menu (or the contextual menu attached to the tab) to Delete column.
- click and hold the column reference tab for the first Total cell, drag right to add the other total column(s), release the mouse button.
- click and hold the first total column's reference tab, pause until the selected columns shift slightly, then drag right until they separate from the data part of the table, then drop.
- click and drag the roundel at the intersection of the row and column reference tabs and drag the new table into position beside the data table, leaving a gap equivalent to the blank (grey) column that was originally there.
- (optional) with the totals table still selected, go Arrange > Lock to lock it in position and prevent manual changes.
A single click on the row header of any row of the data table will now select the entire row of that table.
A double-click on the row header of any row of the data table will select all cells of that row except cells in a Header column.
Spatially, the two tables will occupy the same location as the data and calculation columns plus blank column did before splitting.
