How can you split the Excel window into multiple panes?

To split the Excel window into multiple panes, dragging the split bar located above the vertical scrollbar is the correct method. This feature allows you to create separate scrolling areas within the same worksheet. By clicking and dragging this split bar, you can adjust the panes to your desired size, which is particularly useful for viewing different parts of a large dataset at the same time.

This option is intuitive and provides a hands-on method for customizing your view of the spreadsheet, allowing for easier comparison and reference between different sections of data. It enhances productivity, especially when working with extensive data entries that require constant cross-referencing.

Other methods listed, while related to window management, do not provide the same functionality. Some options might reference features that manage how windows are arranged or viewed but do not allow for the specific splitting of panes within a single worksheet.
