Introduction to Microsoft Excel 2007
Microsoft Excel is a very powerful tool for you with too many features used to enter and analyze data. A Microsoft Office Excel is a spreadsheet looks a lot like a table you might see in a word processing package, but it has some very important features. In Excel each document is referred to as a workbook. Within each workbook you can have multiple spreadsheets.
This is a workbook. A workbook is a collection of worksheets (spreadsheets) and macros. By default, Excel creates 3 worksheets in a new workbook. The worksheets are designated at the bottom part of the window where you see the file folder-like tabs. The tabs are named Sheet1, Sheet2, and Sheet3. If you click on Sheet2, you will be in Sheet2 and not Sheet1, so you need to be aware of which worksheet you are in.
Exercise 1: renaming a worksheet

I suspect that you will want to rename the worksheet(s) to something more relevant to your needs. To rename a worksheet:
1. Double click on the sheet’s tab (notice the name becomes highlighted)
2. Type in the new name
3. Hit enter to complete the rename process
