Second instance in a new window
I'd like to have a second instance of the same excel file opened in a new window. However, the second instance should be opened physically detached from the first, such that the screen shows two of the same file side-by-side. Functionally speaking, a modification made to one instance will be reflected to the other in real-time.
Could it be done? |

I can't test it but I think
click File - Options - Advanced - Scroll down to " General" - Uncheck "Ignore other applications that use DDE"

So I gather it did not solve your problem?

No, it did not. How do I open a second instance physically detached from the first? I'd like to place each on separate monitors of a dual monitor system.

Seems to work for others ( not for me I'm on Linux)

The link you provided clearly solves the issue of creating a second instance, but fails to address or solve the question at hand: opening the second instance in a window physically detached from the first.
Maybe the problem is with MS excel 2010, because I just happen to get access to a PC setup with 2013, and this pending issue does not seem to exist. If this is indeed the case, I am wondering if MS provides a patch for this limitation. |

I do this all the time at work.
Try... On the View tab, in the Window group, click New Window. |
