Splitting panes splits the window and shows the spreadsheet in two separate windows. You can then move around in one, and not in the other. It means you can look at two completely separate parts of the spreadsheet at the same time, without having to scroll back up and down. This can make doing formulas a lot easier as you can see the cells and values you want from another part of the spreadsheet. So one of the panes could be showing rows 1 to 10 and the other one could be showing rows 72 to 81. You can look at both together and compare them if there are similar values in them or fix errors. It is very useful for big spreadsheets where there is a lot of data and you need to be able to see different parts at the same time.
