Difference between a workbook and worksheet:
In Microsoft Excel, a workbook and worksheet have the following differences:
Workbook:
- A file that contains one or more worksheets (also called spreadsheets)
- A collection of worksheets, charts, and other elements
- Can have multiple worksheets, each with its own data and formatting
- Saved as a single file with a .xlsx or .xls extension
Worksheet (or Spreadsheet):
- A single page within a workbook
- A grid of cells where you can enter data, formulas, and formatting
- Can be used for data entry, calculations, charts, and more
- Multiple worksheets can be included in a single workbook
In Excel, think of a workbook as a binder and a worksheet as a single page within that binder. You can have multiple worksheets (pages) in a single workbook (binder).
