Locking Part of a Worksheet/Tab
 

Hi there! I have a question regarding working with multiple tabs. I have a
large spreadsheet with about 150 rows and over 80 columns. I was wondering
if it would be possible to view a portion of tab 1 and tab 2 at the same
time? Basically, I would like to see the same record but cut down on the
number of columns and hopefully separate them into categories which would be
on different tabs. In order for this to work effectively, I would need to
see several columns from tab 1 while looking at tab 2, 3, and so on. If
anyone could assist, that would be great. I'm currently using Excel 2003, SP
2. please let me know if you need more info.
This is a great community! Thanks in advance for your time.

WindowNew Window a couple of times.

WindowArrangeVertical.

You will have 3 windows. You can view any portion of one or more sheets/books
in any window.

Gord,
Thanks for taking the time to help me out. While opening the windows is
helpful and does work, especially since both windows get updated
simultaneously. I was hoping for something that kept the scrolling the same
though. It seems that scrolling verically seems a bit odd. I like it how
scrolling horizontally in one window keeps the other window stationary.
Unfortunately that doesn't seem to be the case when scrolling vertically.
Anyway, the multiple windows will definitely help me out in some instances!
Thanks again.
