Datasheet

Worksheet, spreadsheet, and just plain old sheet are used interchangeably to
mean the worksheet.
Guess what’s really cool? You can change the name of the worksheets.
Names like Sheet1 and Sheet2 are just not exciting. How about Baseball
Card Collection or Last Year’s Taxes? Well, actually Last Year’s Taxes isn’t
too exciting either.
The point is you can give your worksheets meaningful names. You have two
ways to do this:
Double-click the worksheet tab and then type in a new name.
Right-click the worksheet tab, select Rename from the list, and then type
in a new name.
Figure 1-3 shows one worksheet name already changed and another about to
be changed by right-clicking its tab.
You can try changing a worksheet name on your own. Do it the easy way:
1. Double-click a worksheet’s tab.
2. Type in a new name and press Enter.
You can change the color of worksheet tabs. Right-click the tab and select
Tab Color from the list.
To insert a new worksheet into a workbook, click the Insert sheet tab, which
is located after the last worksheet tab. Figure 1-4 shows how. To delete a
worksheet, just right-click the worksheet’s tab and select Delete from the list.
Don’t delete a worksheet unless you really mean to. You cannot get it back
after it is gone. It does not go into the Windows Recycle Bin.
