CHAPTER 3Performing Basic Worksheet Operations
This chapter covers some basic information regarding workbooks, worksheets, and windows. You'll discover tips and techniques to help you take control of your worksheets and help you to work more efficiently.
Learning the Fundamentals of Excel Worksheets
In Excel, each file is called a workbook, and each workbook can contain one or more worksheets. You may find it helpful to think of an Excel workbook as a binder and worksheets as pages in the binder. As with a binder, you can view a particular sheet, add new sheets, remove sheets, rearrange sheets, and copy sheets.
