How do I open several worksheets from the same workbook on screen
I would like to open and edit several worksheets (compare side by side) at
the same time to make changes and use formulas from one to the other. I know that this is possible when you work on two separately named workbooks (i.e. book1.xls and book2.xls) but can it be done from same workbook. In order to complete a summary sheet, I had to rename the file so both will open at the same time. Is there a way to open sheet one, delete sheet called Product and replace it with Product1 one from another workbook without loosing the link and formulas between Product1 (new workbook) and the original workbook Summary sheet? I know this is convulted sorry... |

How do I open several worksheets from the same workbook on screen
Try this:
Minimize any workbooks you don't need immediately Then... <window<new window (Repeat for as many windows as you need) Then <window<arrange...select the configuration you want Change the displayed sheet on each window Does that help? *********** Regards, Ron XL2002, WinXP "Innovman 2006" wrote: I would like to open and edit several worksheets (compare side by side) at the same time to make changes and use formulas from one to the other.

How do I open several worksheets from the same workbook on scr
Thanks Ron, however, the problem that I am having is, when I try to open the
same workbook (A) twice, (new window for each) and work on Sheet # 1 for this workbook and Sheet #2 from the same workbook (A), then I get a message that the second workbook (A) is read only and I can not make any changes to worksheet #2. I have tried to work around this problem but it does not seem to work, even if I go into properties and attempt to delete the read only box check I can not edit sheet # 2 from Workbook (A). Frustrating....

You don't have to open the same workbook TWICE....Just open it ONCE.
The <window<new window command creates another window for the SAME workbook that you are in. While those windows pertain to the same workbook, they can be adjusted to display different ranges or different sheets in that book. Does that help? *********** Regards, Ron XL2002, WinXP "Innovman 2006" wrote: Thanks Ron, however, the problem that I am having is, when I try to open the same workbook (A) twice, (new window for each) and work on Sheet # 1 for this workbook and Sheet #2 from the same workbook (A), then I get a message that the second workbook (A) is read only and I can not make any changes to worksheet #2.
