Workbook

Think of a workbook as a digital binder. It's a container that holds one or more worksheets. Each workbook has its own name and can be saved as a file on your computer.

  • Multiple Worksheets: A workbook can contain as many worksheets as you need. This allows you to organize different types of data separately.
  • Saving and Opening: You can save your workbook as an Excel file (.xlsx) and open it later to continue working on it.
  • Sharing: You can share your workbook with others, allowing them to view or edit the data.

Worksheet

A worksheet is like a page in a notebook within the workbook. It's where you input and analyze your data.

  • Grid Structure: Worksheets are organized into rows (numbered) and columns (lettered). The intersection of a row and column is called a cell.
  • Data Entry: You can enter text, numbers, dates, and formulas into cells.
  • Formatting: You can apply formatting to cells, such as fonts, colors, number formats, and cell styles.
  • Calculations: You can perform calculations using formulas and functions.

Example: Imagine you're creating a budget. You might have a workbook called "Personal Finance." Within this workbook, you could have worksheets for income, expenses, savings, and a summary. Each worksheet would contain data related to its specific category.

Key Points to Remember:

  • A workbook can contain multiple worksheets.
  • Worksheets are organized into rows and columns.
  • Cells are the intersections of rows and columns.
