The last entry in the dialog, Clear cells per group/4 will display a lighter or clear (depending on the theme you chose) cell condition for each number you selected for the group.  The examples above used the default of 4 and you can see that every 4th cell will change to a lighter shade or a darker shade.  This is used many times to separate the data for ease of use.  For example we could set the group to 1 and every other cell will show in a lighter color.
