Worksheet
What is a Worksheet?
Definition
A worksheet is one page within a spreadsheet file that contains a grid of rows, columns, and cells. It functions as a structured workspace where related data is grouped and can be separated from other sections within the same file. This helps organise complex information into distinct areas, making it easier to manage, review, and maintain clarity across datasets.
