View: Side by Side

Say you had two Excel files open at the same time. The default View is Full Screen so that you cannot see the spreadsheet behind it. You can also arrange the View Side by Side. 

 

8. Try This: View Side by Side

Open two sample Excel files, first.

Each workbook is in Normal View.

Go to View->Window-> Side by Side.

In the example on this page, there are two spreadsheets displayed horizontally.

Memo to Self: The purpose of this lesson is to learn the different Views. It is NOT necessary that your spreadsheets MATCH the ones on these pages.
