Each worksheet in an Excel 2019 workbook offers an immense place in which to store information. But because even a regular size computer monitor (which is quite large when compared to a regular Windows tablet or smartphone screen) lets you see only a tiny bit of any of the worksheets in a workbook at a time, the issue of keeping on top of information is not a small one (pun intended).

Although the Excel worksheet employs a coherent cell-coordinate system that you can use to get anywhere in the great big worksheet, you have to admit that this A1, B2 stuff — although highly logical — remains fairly alien to human thinking. (I mean, saying, “Go to cell IV88,” just doesn’t have anywhere near the same impact as saying, “Go to the corner of Hollywood and Vine.”) Consider for a moment the difficulty of coming up with a meaningful association between a 2015 depreciation table and its location in the cell range AC50:AN75 so that you can remember where to find it in your income tax worksheet.

In this chapter, I show you some of the more effective techniques for maintaining and keeping on top of information. You find out how to change the perspective on a worksheet by zooming in and out on the information, how to split the document window into separate panes so that you can display different sections of the worksheet at the same time, and how to keep particular rows and columns on the screen at all times.

And, as if that weren’t enough, you also see how to add notes to cells, assign descriptive, English-type names to cell ranges (like Hollywood_and_Vine!), and use the Find and Replace commands to locate and, if necessary, replace entries anywhere in the worksheet. Finally, you see how to control when Excel recalculates the worksheet and how to limit where changes can be made.
