Study Notes

Fundamentals of Worksheet

A workbook is a collection of one or more spreadsheets, also called worksheets, in a single file.
Each spreadsheet can have many sheets and each sheet can have many individual cells.
Each sheet can have a maximum of 65,536 rows and a maximum of 1024 columns, for a total of over 67 million cells.
A workbook can contain one or more different worksheets that can be accessed through the tabs at the bottom of the worksheet.
A spreadsheet and worksheet mean the same thing.
A particular cell is identified by its column letter and row number.
These cells hold the individual elements—text, numbers, formulas, and so on—that make up the data to display and manipulate.
