Excel – Lesson 7 Pasewark & PasewarkMicrosoft Office 2007: Introductory 6 Identifying Worksheets Renaming Worksheets: A good practice is to use descriptive names to help identify the contents of each worksheet. For example, the worksheet name Quarter 1 Budget is a better reminder of the worksheet contents than Sheet1.

Changing the Color of Sheet Tabs: Another way to categorize worksheets is by changing the color of the sheet tabs. To change the tab color of a worksheet, right-click the sheet tab you want to recolor, point to Tab Color on the shortcut menu, and then click the color you want for that tab.

Click the sheet tab for the worksheet that contains the source cell or range you want to reference, and then click the source cell or select the source rang.

Excel – Lesson 7 Pasewark & PasewarkMicrosoft Office 2007: Introductory 10 Consolidating Workbook Data (continued) A 3-D reference is a reference to the same cell or range in multiple worksheets that you use in a formula. You can use 3-D references to incorporate data from other worksheets into the active worksheet. 3-D reference lists the worksheet range, an exclamation point, and a cell or range. A worksheet range is a group of adjacent worksheets. In a worksheet range, as in a cell range, a colon separates the names of the first worksheet and the last worksheet in the group. An exclamation mark separates the worksheet range from its cell or range reference.

To arrange all the open workbooks, click the Arrange All button in the Window group on the View tab of the Ribbon. The Arrange Windows dialog box appears. Moving and Copying Worksheets Between Workbooks: When you need to use a worksheet from one workbook in another, you can copy or move the worksheet.

Arranging multiple workbooks in the program window lets you view their contents at the same time. Worksheets can be moved or copied from one workbook to the location you specify in the same or another workbook.
