View Multiple Worksheets in Excel (In Easy Steps) 2023

Viewing multiple worksheets in Excel is straightforward and can be done in just a few easy steps. Excel allows you to view and work with multiple worksheets at the same time using different viewing options. Here’s how you can do it:

Step 1: Open your Excel workbook.

Launch Microsoft Excel and open the workbook that contains the worksheets you want to view.

Step 2: Arrange Worksheets Horizontally or Vertically.

Click on the “View” tab in the Excel ribbon at the top.
In the “Window” group, you’ll find the “Arrange All” button. Click on the drop-down arrow next to it.

Step 3: Choose the Layout Option.

Select either “Horizontal” or “Vertical” from the options available in the drop-down menu.
The “Horizontal” option will arrange the worksheets side by side, while the “Vertical” option will stack them one on top of the other.

Step 4: View Worksheets Side by Side (optional).

If you chose the “Horizontal” option in the previous step, you can also adjust the arrangement of the worksheets further.
In the “Window” group, you’ll find the “View Side by Side” button. Click on it to enable this mode. This will allow you to see changes made in one worksheet reflected in the other worksheet(s) simultaneously.

Step 5: Resize and Adjust Worksheets (optional).

If the worksheets appear too small or too large, you can manually resize them by clicking and dragging the worksheet’s title bar.
Additionally, you can adjust the split between the worksheets by placing your mouse pointer on the dividing line between the worksheets and dragging it left or right (for horizontal arrangement) or up and down (for vertical arrangement).

Step 6: Switch between Worksheets.

Now that you have multiple worksheets visible, you can easily switch between them by clicking on the tab of the worksheet you want to activate. The active worksheet will be the one displayed in the main Excel window, while the others will be visible but may be partially hidden.

That’s it! You have successfully set up and are now viewing multiple worksheets in Excel. This feature can be particularly useful when you need to compare data or perform tasks across different sheets simultaneously.
