How to Create Worksheets in Excel

In Excel 2016, when we open up a new workbook, it now includes only one worksheet. There can be the max of 1,048,576 rows and 16,384 columns in an excel worksheet.

Worksheet

Excel files are known as workbooks. Each workbook holds one or more worksheets (also called a “spreadsheetsx”).

Whenever we create a new Excel workbook, it will include one worksheet named Sheet1. A worksheet is a framework of columns and rows where column are identified by letters running across the top of worksheet, and rows are identified by numbers running down the left side of the worksheet.

When working with a high amount of data, we can create multiple worksheets to help organize our workbook and make it easier to find content. We can also group worksheets to quickly add data to multiple worksheets at the same time.
