If you don't know what group edit is, here is a little explanation from the help file on Edit data on multiple worksheets. When you select several worksheets and then change the data on one of them, the changes are applied to the same cells on all the selected worksheets. And a nice note that can be useful.
These modes are: 1  Ready - indicates that the worksheet is ready to accept user input, such as data input, formulas, and formatting. 2  Edit - indicates, as the name suggest, that Excel is in editing mode. Edit is displayed by double-clicking on a cell with the mouse pointer or by pressing the F2 key on the keyboard.
