Hello. I just swtiched to Excel 2010. Back then when I used 2007, when I want to compare workbooks, I will open Excel and then open Excel again to get two windows. Once I open the first workbook, I will click on the second excel window, then go to my email and open the spreadsheet from my email and it will automatically pop up on the second excel window. But with 2010, even if I click on the second excel window, when I open a workbook from my email, it still pops up in the first window. Can you please help?

How do I open one workbook from my email to pop up on separate excel windows so that I can compare it on two different screens?
 

Excel Facts

VLOOKUP to Left?
Use =VLOOKUP(A2,CHOOSE({1,2},$Z$1:$Z$99,$Y$1:$Y$99),2,False) to lookup Y values to left of Z values.
May you drag the workbook from your email in to your second instance of Excel to open it?
