Understanding the Workbook  \nWhen you first launch Excel, the program will ask if you want to open a new, blank workbook. A workbook consists of a series of spreadsheets on which you can organize various projects. Choose to create a new workbook. An Excel spreadsheet consists of a bunch of columns and rows, which form a very large amount of individual cells.  \nThe Top ofthe Workbook  \nAt the very top left corner of the window is the \"Office\" button, which allows you to access recent documents, save, open, print, and perform many other functions related to the document itself. The little disk icon to the right of the \"Office\" button is a quick way to save a document. At the top middle of the document you will notice the name of the document. Right now, the document has not been saved with a name, so it is simply called \"Book2\", as seen in Figure 1.  \nThe row immediately below the title contains 8 tabs available for your use, starting with \"Home\". These tabs contain numerous functions that allow you to manipulate the data you input into individual cells.  \nData  \nGet External Data Connectiom  \nBook2 [Compatibility Mode] - Microsoft Excel Review View Developer  \nAZt   \n􀀃i Sort  \nI  \nFilter  \n, Clear  \n􀀄.,.
