Questions & answers

You can split the panes either horizontally or vertically, or partition them both horizontally and vertically. Each pane grants you the ability to independently scroll and compare the data. This helps you to view each part of the same worksheet independently.
To undo a split, simply click View > Window > Split again.
Split Screen Shortcuts Hit the ALT key, followed by the W and S key in succession (no need to hold the ALT key). The above shortcut will split the screens into four parts, and this same shortcut will also remove the splits. So this is how you can use an in-built option (or a shortcut) in Excel to split screens.
On the View tab, in the Window group, click New Window. This will open another window of the same workbook. Switch to the new window and click the desired sheet tab.
We can use the “Alt+W+S” shortcut keys to enable the split panes in the worksheet. We must move the active cell to row 1 to split the worksheet vertically into two panes. We must move the active cell to column A to split the worksheet horizontally into two panes.
Select below the row where you want the split, or the column to the right of where you want the split. On the View tab, in the Window group, click Split. To remove the split panes, click Split again.
