An Excel worksheet is where
you enter your headings and
data and build your formulas
You will spend most of your
time in Excel operating within
a worksheet, so you need
to know how to navigate a
worksheet as well as how to
perform useful worksheet tasks,
such as renaming worksheets;
creating new worksheets; and
moving, copying, and deleting
worksheets In this chapter you
also learn how to change the
gridline color, and how to
toggle gridlines and headings
on and off.

Trang 3You can use a few keyboard techniques that
make it easier to navigate data after it is
entered in a worksheet.
After you enter data into a cell, it is usually
easiest to use your mouse to click in the next
cell you want to work with However, if you are entering data and your hands are already on the keyboard, then it is often faster to use the keyboard to navigate to the next cell.

You can make your Excel workbooks easier to
understand and navigate by providing each
worksheet with a name that reflects the
contents of the sheet.
Excel provides worksheets with generic names
such as Sheet1 and Sheet2, but you can change
these to more descriptive names such as Sales
2010, Amortization, or Budget Data You can use any combination of letters, numbers, and symbols in a worksheet name, but the maximum number of characters you can use
in the name is 31.

most cases, you will add a blank worksheet, but Excel also comes with several predefined worksheet templates that you can use Note that there is no practical limit to the number
of worksheets you can add to a workbook.
