Display an Excel spreadsheet on a remote screen (workshop)

Hello,

I have a PC running Windows 8, an NVIDIA card, and two screens.
One main screen is in my office; I want to set up the second one in a workshop, about fifteen meters away (a screen that I cannot see from my office).
On this second screen, I want to periodically display a task schedule (Excel table).
I update this schedule in my office, using the main screen.

I would like to specify that both screens work well.

Is there a trick to display the schedule on the second screen once it has been established?

Thank you in advance.

    Hello,

    move the Excel program to the second screen and use the fullscreen shortcut.

    most of the time Google and official websites have your answer, you just have to ask them.

    Hello and thank you for your response...

    I'm familiar with this way of proceeding: I've tested it and it works well, as long as both screens are nearby, because to retrieve the table and modify it, I have to switch to the secondary screen to drag the table back onto the main screen...

    Maybe there’s another way???

    I was thinking of copying the Excel table to another medium (PDF, JPG...), and displaying the image obtained on the secondary screen, in order to "free" the Excel table for modification...

      Hello, through the taskbar, the context menu via right-click brings up the move function, which sends the mouse to the top of the window; you just have to click and drag to the main desktop.

    Hello,

    I think I’ve found the best way to operate. Here’s the procedure:
    1) Set the display of the two screens to “extend” mode (using the Windows+P function)
    2) Drag the Excel spreadsheet from the main screen to the secondary screen.
    3) To retrieve and modify the spreadsheet, set the display of the screens to “PC screen only” mode (using the Windows+P function). The Excel spreadsheet will then be displayed on the main screen ...
    4) After modification, you loop back to step 1) above ...
    ... And that’s it!!!

    Hello
    I'm looking for exactly the same software or feature as Excel. Have you found the solution?
    For me, my screen sharing solution is just okay.
