Ran into this problem when using a monitor.
step 1 bring the fil back to you PC or laptop and fill the screen
Step 2 in office 360 there is a use option for internal/external. go to the right and click on the x. this should collape that space entirely.

This helpled. I dragged the open XLS, with the large white area between the formula bar and the actual spreadsheet, from my external monitor ( I run with 2 external monitors in addition to my laptop screen) to my laptop screen and POOF! the large white area went away. I then was able to drag it back to my external monitor and it stayed in great shape!! Thanks!

Thank you this worked! I do use monitors attached to a lap top and it seems this issue only occurs when I open Excel on the extended screen. On the origin screen I can see and close the internal/ external dialogue. It does not appear on the extended screen. Anonomous_300
- springer90May 13, 2021Copper ContributorThank you! Dragging the window from my monitor to my laptop and then back to my monitor worked for me. The other workaround I found was to close all Excel files, open a New Excel file, then open the file that had the issue.

RonnieM05 Do you have an add-in or labeling algorithm that could be trying to post messages in that area? I found that our IT department has added a script to label content, and these seem to be popping up in a space between the formula bar and the spreadsheet.
