Create a New Workbook in Excel: Video Lesson

            This video lesson, titled “Excel for Microsoft 365 Tutorial: How to Create New Workbooks in Excel,” shows how to create a new workbook in Excel. This video lesson is from our complete Excel tutorial, titled Mastering Excel Made Easy™.

Create a New Workbook in Excel: Overview

            You can easily create a new workbook in Excel. A workbook is the default file type in Excel, much like a document is the default file type in Word. A workbook can contain multiple worksheets where the data is stored and manipulated in the columns and rows.

            When you first open Excel, a startup screen appears. This startup screen lets you create a new workbook from the template list at the right side of the screen. If you already opened a workbook, you can view a similar screen by clicking the “File” tab in the Ribbon. Then select the “New” command at the left side of the backstage view. Then a list of templates appears at the right side of the backstage view.

            You can then create a new workbook from one of the many templates available by clicking the desired template. To create a new blank workbook in Excel, click the “Blank workbook” template choice in the section at the right.
