I have 2 Monitors and want to observe on one monitor 1st sheet and on the other monitor 2nd sheet but no matter how many excel files I open they are all on one monitor.

Can I split them to two screens?

I have Excel 2007 and working on 2003 file. Thanks a lot for your time!

The only way I have been able to accomplish this is to open a brand new instance of Excel (either from the start menu, task bar via right click in Win7/Vista, etc) and open the second file from that new Excel window.

If you continually use the same excel window to File -> Open new files, it will keep the documents all grouped into the same instance and move every file to the same monitor like you're experiencing.

You can also spread the Main excel file across both screens and then use View > Arrange Windows > Tile Vertically.

You need to open 2 instances of Excel, move each one to a monitor and then open the files.
