2 Excell documents on different monitors
I have had a staff member request assistance in trying to view 2 different
Excell documents at once, utilizing 2 monitors. I know how to set up 2 documents on one screen, but not 2. Is this possible? If so, can anybody help me? Thanks a million |

Set up your 2 monitors, as 1 and 2. Open the two workbooks in Excel, and
then drag the one across to the second monitor -- HTH Kassie Replace xxx with hotmail "aktroll" wrote: I have had a staff member request assistance in trying to view 2 different Excell documents at once, utilizing 2 monitors.

The way our monitors are set up, I can't do that. We have to have them
extended across. (I work for a government agency and can't mess with that setting) "Kassie" wrote: Set up your 2 monitors, as 1 and 2.

2 Excell documents on different monitors
Well, if you have only one monitor, then it is impossible to view on two?
Can you put two PC's next to each other? Then open one workbook on each PC, but that has no real value. Otherwise, you require a second monitor, which can be from an unused PC, and a device to split your monitor input from two monitors to one video jack. This plugs into the back of your PC, where the monitor normally plugs in. You then plug your monitors into this splitter, and Bob's your uncle. After the excercise, you can unplug the second monitor, and just leave the splitter attached. -- HTH Kassie Replace xxx with hotmail "aktroll" wrote: The way our monitors are set up, I can't do that.

Try opening Excel with no workbooks open. If Excel is maximized in one
monitor click the Restore window button (between the minimize button and the "X" close button in the upper right corner of the window), resize Excel to cover both monitors, then open the workbooks, click the Restore button on each to make each a floating window, and then drag one workbook window into one window and the other workbook into the other window.
