Want to compare two Excel worksheets side by side without losing track of your data? This guide shows how to split views and sync scrolling for better control.

This Excel video teaches you a couple of handy techniques to make working with your spreadsheets easier.

One technique is about comparing two different worksheets side by side, so you can easily see what's different between them.

If you have two sheets in the same Excel file or even in different files, you can set them up to appear next to each other on your screen. You can even scroll in one sheet, and the other one will scroll along with it.

Another trick is splitting a single worksheet into separate parts so you can view different areas at the same time. This is useful when you don't want to open multiple windows.

You can split the worksheet into two or four sections, depending on where you want the split to be. This way, you can work on different parts of your sheet all in one view.

Just remember, these features are for manual comparison and viewing – Excel won't automatically find differences between sheets for you.
