XLCubed viewports allow you to present a range from one worksheet on another.

This can be useful for presentation reasons, you can have separate worksheets for each business area, and bring them together on a formatted summary sheet.

They are similar to standard Excel camera objects (detailed here - http://blog.xlcubed.com/2012/07/a-snappy-fix-for-layout-problems-in-excel/)

The difference between viewports and cameras is in the sizing.

  • Camera objects zoom the captured range to fit the camera object area.
  • Viewports do not zoom, and instead have scrollbars when the content does not fit in the object.
    • Viewports support freeze panes, useful for table and grids with headers.
    • Viewports support named ranges being specified as the area (type in the name when picking a range). This works will when combined with specifying Named Ranges on Grids or Tables.
