A workbook is another word for your Excel file. Excel automatically creates a blank workbook when you open it.
Open an Existing Workbook
To open a workbook you've created in the past, execute the following steps.
1. Click on the green File tab.

3. What you see next is called the backstage view and it contains all the workbook related commands. 3. Click Open to open a workbook that is not on the list.

5. Open/close a workbook
2. If you have multiple workbooks open, clicking the upper right X closes the active workbook. If you have one workbook open, clicking the upper right X closes Excel.

8. Copy a Worksheet
Imagine, you have got the sales for 2010 ready and want to create the exact same sheet for 2011, but with different data. You can recreate the worksheet, but this is time-consuming. It's a lot easier to copy the entire worksheet and only change the numbers.
1. Right click on the sheet tab of Sales 2010.

The 'Move or Copy' dialog box appears. 3. Select (move to end) and check Create a copy.

Note: you can even copy a worksheet to another Excel workbook by selecting the specific workbook from the drop-down list (see the dialog box shown earlier).

10. Format Cells
When we format cells in Excel, we change the appearance of a number without changing the number itself. We can apply a number format (0.8, $0.80, 80%, etc) or other formatting (alignment, font, border, etc).
1. Enter the value 0.8 into cell B2.
By default, Excel uses the General format (no specific number format) for numbers. To apply a number format, use the 'Format Cells' dialog box.

11. 2. Select cell B2. 3. Right click, and then click Format Cells (or press CTRL + 1).

12. The 'Format Cells' dialog box appears. 4
The 'Format Cells' dialog box appears. 4. For example, on the Number tab, select Currency.

Cell B2 still contains the number 0.8. We only changed the appearance of this number, not the number itself. The most frequently used formatting commands are available on the Home tab.

14. On the Home tab, in the Font group, change the Font color.

15. On the Home tab, in the Font group, add borders.

16. Find & Select

General note: if you select a single cell before you click Find, Replace or Go To Special, Excel searches the entire worksheet. To search a range of cells, first select a range of cells.
