How to Open Two Excel Files in Multiple Monitors in Windows 7

How to open two excel files in two excel windows using multiple monitors in Windows 7.
Currently it opens multiple files on top of each other on the same one monitor.
I found this article in a blog it says
"The snap feature that you are looking for will not work unless you open two instances of Excel. This is because Excel Unlike Word is not a True SDI Application. Microsoft is aware of the Issue however there is no resolution to the problem but the workaround"

If you are working almost the entire day in front of your computer at your office with lots of Excel Sheets and Word, then probably you might be working with a
dual monitor or may be even more than that. Studies have shown that having an additional monitor increases the productivity by 20 to 30 percent (Source: NY Times)
But some applications like MS Office Excel, even though you open multiple files, they are all from the same instance of the application. So if you want to compare two
Excel
files, then you may not be able to have it in two
separate monitors as the files are loaded using the same instance of Excel. If you move one
Excel
file to the other window, the other Excel files are also moved to the other window.
So how to have two separate Excel files or other application side by side in dual monitors?
Option A:
In Excel 2003, go to Tools -> Options ->
General tab.
Make sure the option, ‘Ignore other applications’ is checked. Now all the Excel files will be opened as separate instance and you can move the Excel files individually across the monitors.
In Excel 2007, Click the Office button ->
Excel Options -> Advanced.
Under General, check ‘Ignore other applications that use Dynamic Data Exchange’.
or
As this method forces each Excel file as a separate instance, the memory consumption will be more. If you don’t want too many memory consumption then you can open only two instances (see
Option B) and manage wisely to view in both the monitors.
Note: If you are having issues like Excel opens without displaying a workbook, then you may have to
uncheck this option. (See Microsoft Help for more details on this). You can use option B in this case. I have this option checked and I have not faced any issue yet.
Option B:
They key here is, the application has to be loaded as separate instances. Lets say you have opened an Excel file in
Monitor 1 and you want to open the next excel file in Monitor 2. You can usually open another instance of Excel by browsing through the
Start Menu -> Programs -> Microsoft Office ->
Excel. Make sure this newly opened Excel file is the last Excel file you had viewed and then double click on the Excel file that you wanted to open. This will force the Excel to
open
in the second instance of Excel. Now you can move these
two excel files separately across windows or monitors.
This may be little cumbersome way to open new instances of Excel every time. The easy solution would be to keep these links in the
quick links near the Start button. So, every time you want to open a new instance of the application, you can just use those quick links.
hope work thanks

How to sync two excel files, the content is the same in both files after edit.

I have two excel files, which are data and edit by multi users, how can I sync the master files to the copy files after edit?
Is this operation required VBA? marco?

Hi,
Your request could be done via VBA code. Here are two ideas.
One:
Syncing the data from master file to the copy file without opening copy file. Sample code
Private Sub Worksheet_Change(ByVal Target As Range)
If Target.Count > 1 Then Exit Sub
Dim cnn As Object, SQL$, s$
Select Case True
Case Target.Value = ""
s = "null"
Case IsDate(Target.Value)
s = "#" & Target.Value & "#"
Case IsNumeric(Target.Value)
s = Target.Value
Case Else
s = "'" & Target.Value & "'"
End Select
Set cnn = CreateObject("ADODB.Connection")
cnn.Open "provider=microsoft.jet.oledb.4.0;extended properties='excel 8.0;hdr=no';data source=" & ThisWorkbook.Path & "\test folder\Book2.xls"
SQL = "update [Sheet1$" & Target.Address(0, 0) & ":" & Target.Address(0, 0) & "] set f1=" & s
cnn.Execute (SQL)
cnn.Close
Set cnn = Nothing
End Sub
Two:
Saving the master file as copy file before closing. Reference:
https://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/office/ff194765.aspx?f=255&MSPPError=-2147217396
If you have any further question about coding, I recommend you post the question to the MSDN forum for Excel

You can setup an ODBC connection to the Excel file and update the file with JDBC, using the JDBC-ODBC bridge.

How to open an excel file on my ipad from dropbox

How can I open an excel file on my ipad from dropbox using numbers?

You are asking about Numbers for iOS in a forum dedicated to Numbers for OS X.
As most of us aren’t using this app, it would be more efficient to ask in the dedicated forum (link below).

How to open an excel file from labview?

I tried to use "open file" vi from File I/O -- Advanced file functions to open an excel file in LabVIEW. Why the excel file wouldn't open after I run the program?

In addition to ActiveX, you can also manipulate Excel data files using the Windows ADO interface - a technique that is more robust, faster and IMHO easier. Do a search on the forum as there have been several threads within the last week or so discussing this very thing.

How to open a Excel file and display on the custom screen

Guys, I am new to screen programming. In my first screen (SCREEN #9000) I want to put a field, where I must be able to select a file from my desktop and when I click the DISPLAY button, it should suck all the data from the spread sheet in to an internal table, and should display the next screen (SCREEN #9001), displaying the data from the internal table along with a button called LOAD. Now when I click the LOAD button after reviewing the data, it must load the data to my custom table in R/3. I know how to load an Excel spreadsheet to R/3 without the custom screens. But my requirement now is to do from custom screens like I mentioned above. Any ideas how to do this? Thanks.
Dan

Hi Dan,
In my first screen (SCREEN #9000) I want to put a field, where I must be able to select a file from my desktop and when I click the DISPLAY button, it should suck all the data from the spread sheet in to an internal table, and should display the next screen (SCREEN #9001)
For this create a MPP program and create a Push button. Write the code for this to open a file like use f4_filename.From here you are able to select a file.
+ displaying the data from the internal table along with a button called LOAD. Now when I click the LOAD button after reviewing the data, it must load the data to my custom table in R/3.+
With the above you are able to open a file and now you have to load that data into internal table. Select the file from the desktop.
Totally you have to create 1) Screen 2) Push button( Open File) 3) Load data ( From file) .

From the names I'd guess they are temporary files. If excel is running, quit and try again. If they still won't move or delete reboot. If they still won't move or delete...kill a chicken at midnight under an oak tree?

How to stop prompt while opening an excel file in new window

hi all
i made one table in jsf and i am having two icons corresponding to each row one for open and one for save. on the click of open i am calling web services getting the excel file and opening it but it is happening only . when i choose to open option from the prompt which comes when i click on the link. how to remove that prompt so that on click of the open it should directly open the excel file. plzzzzzzzzz hepl

in the url of the new page that you are opening add --> &RetainAM=Y at the end.
Following points should be useful :
Suppose ,you have to open a new window from your page by clicking on a link or a button and after opening, when you click on any button in the parent page, if you are getting a session out error… try the following solutions:
1.     Add retainAM=Y in the destination URI of the button or link
2.     If you have the back button handling in your code, ensure that…
if (!pageContext.isBackNavigationFired(true)) is written instead of
if (!pageContext.isBackNavigationFired(false))
3.     Also ensure that the trasaction name is exactly same in both startTransactionUnit and end TransactionUnit
TransactionUnitHelper.startTransactionUnit(pageContext, "sameName");
TransactionUnitHelper.endTransactionUnit(pageContext, " sameName ");

How to open two files in the one window in PSE11?

In older versions of PSE I was able to open two picture files in the same window by just resizing them smaller so that I could deal with them side by side........I couoldn't do it in PSE=10, and I upgraded to PSE11 and still don't know how to do it. Can somone assist me? Thanks..

In the Organizer select two thumbnails and hit the F12 key to compare them. But I guess you mean in the Editor application. In Expert Mode it‘s possible to work with floating windows rather than fixed tabs but you first need to set your preferences. Go to:
Edit >> Preferences >> General (Windows)
Photoshop Elements Editor >> Preferences >> General (Mac)
Then put a checkmark in the box against “Allow Floating Documents in Expert Mode”
Click OK
You can now open your two images and use the layout button at the bottom to choose various configurations or to cascade.
