Anytime you are working with huge data, it can sometimes be difficult to compare data in your worksheet. And that is why Excel has a number of tools that can make it easier to view content from various parts of your work book concurrently. These tools include the ability to split your worksheet and freeze panes. The split command on Excel allows you to divide the worksheet into a minimum of two panes and a maximum of four panes. You can view two areas of a worksheet by splitting your panes. When you arrange your panes as equally sized, tiled squares, you will be able to view four different panes.
