Create a Workbook File

To get started, create a workbook file. You can create a new, blank workbook; or, to save time, open an existing workbook or a template and fill in your data.

What’s the difference between a workbook and a worksheet?   A workbook is a Microsoft Excel file containing one or more sheets; each worksheet is a “page” in the workbook on which you enter and work with data. Workbooks start with three worksheets but you can add worksheets and other kinds of sheets; for more information, see Add More Sheets to the Workbook. Use workbooks you create as templates   For more information, see About Creating and Opening Documents and Databases.
