Splitting screens, whether vertically or horizontally, is a great way to streamline your workflow when using Excel. Using this feature lets you simultaneously view separate sections of a spreadsheet, enabling you to compare data quickly. Here’s how.
Using the Split Screen Function
If you have a spreadsheet packed with data, navigating it can be quite cumbersome, especially if you want to compare data from several different sections of the spreadsheet. Taking advantage of Excel’s split-screen functionality can streamline this process. Excel also lets you customize how the screen is split, giving you complete control for your specific needs.
Finding the split screen function is easy enough. Just head over to the “View” tab and click the “Split” option.
That said, there are a few ways to use this feature to split the screen.
Creating Four Equal Quadrants
Excel lets you split the screen into four equal quadrants. This gives you four copies of your current worksheet, all on the same screen! To do this, first, make sure that you’ve got the A1 cell selected.
Next, head back over to the “View” tab and click the “Split” button. This will split your screen into four equal worksheets.
