You can make a large spreadsheet easier to
manage by creating a second window for the
workbook.
When you are building a spreadsheet, you
often have to refer to existing sheet data. For
example, when you construct a formula, you
may need to refer to specific cells. Similarly,
once your spreadsheet is working, you often
need to monitor a cell value. For example, if
you change the data in one part of the sheet,
you might want to see how that change affects
the result of a formula elsewhere in the sheet.
This is easy with a small spreadsheet where you
can see everything on the screen. However,
larger spreadsheets do not fit into a single
screen, so the data you need to reference or
monitor might not be visible, requiring that
you scroll through the sheet to see it.
A better solution is to create a second window
for the workbook and then arrange those
windows side-by-side (vertically or
horizontally). This enables you to display what
you are currently working on in one window,
and what you need to reference or monitor in
the second window.
