Open same "Live" workbook twice on one PC?

Copper Contributor

So we have a co-authored excel workbook which is a live sheet hosted on sharepoint worked on by many people. We also have 12 TV's in the office and we want to display the sheet on multiple TV's. All 12 TV's are running from the same Windows PC.

 

It seems that we cannot open the same spreadsheet in more than one instance of Excel. Does anyone know if this is possible? Short of using a VM or trying to just show it in a browser from sharepoint online and trying to use a plugin to stop the session timeout, we are running out of ideas. 

 

Surely it must be possible? Any help is much appreciated. 

 

Thanks!

Why don't you simply duplicate the screen on all TVs? You can also run Excel as another user, but doing this 12 times can be a drag.
