Make the Automatic Sum Persistent Across Open Windows
In as much detail as possible, describe the problem or experience related to your idea. Please provide the context of what you were trying to do and include specific examples or workarounds:
When using multiple windows, data verification and troubleshooting would be much easier if the automatic sum, count, average, min and max calculations that appear at the bottom of the screen when multiple cells are highlighted were persistent when clicking between two open windows. Oftentimes, I'll have the same model open on two screen to help facilitate faster troubleshooting, but I have to re-highlight any cells I'm analyzing to see those calculations and verify them. If they simply continued to display, no matter which window I had most recently clicked in, my work would go significantly faster.
How often is this impacting your users?
Any time I'm troubleshooting existing issues in my models (at least weekly).
Who is this impacting? (ex. model builders, solution architects, partners, admins, integration experts, business/end users, executive-level business users)
This affects model builders, solution architects, and admins (including business/end users).
What would your ideal solution be? How would it add value to your current experience?
Make the automatic calculations persistent, as long as a group of cells is highlighted, no matter which window a user has most recently clicked.
Please include any images to help illustrate your experience.
Event getting a screenshot with the calculations showing is impossible, because as soon as I open the Snipping Tool, the calculations disappear.
