When I have multiple Excel documents, and I click on the one that is not open, the new one appears in the same window. I cannot have multiple Excel docs side by side, like I can in Word. How can I get my Excel to allow multiple windows to be open at the same time?

Excel 2013 allows this since it is has a SDI (single doc interface) like Word.

This just does the same thing as before in which the document I click on replaces the one in the Window. I can only view one Excel window at a time on my screen and I want to be able to view two. For example like Word (pictured below) I want to be able
to do that with Excel
No, I want to be able to view my worksheets like I am with word, two separate windows. I DON'T want to have both my worksheets in one window. Is there any way to have two worksheets in two SEPARATE windows like I showed with word?
I am wondering, however, how to get two separate full windows with different worksheets? I would like to be able to view them as two complete separate windows like you can do with Word?
With two workbooks open. . . . .
