Saving a Custom View as a Workspace

Saving a Workspace

If you wish to compare either multiple workbooks, or the same workbook over and over again,  and you have set up a custom view to do this, Excel has the facility to save a custom view as what is known as a workspace.  This is extremely useful when you arrange workbooks via Window>Arrange, or you are comparing the same workbook , or comparing different workbooks using the Compare Side by Side command.

A workspace is just a file that contains display information about your workbooks, not the actual workbooks themselves.  To do this go to File>Save Workspace, enter a file name in the File name: box and click OK.   This will save your workspace as an .xlw, not a standard .xls file.  Each time you open the workspace, all workbooks will be opened and displayed in your custom view.

Any changes you make to the Workbooks in the *.xlw file will automatically be saved as you close either the Workspace as a whole, or all Workbooks individually.
