Accessing and Using Excel Templates
• Excel has several templates that are available when you start
Excel or when you click the File tab and select New, and many
more templates for which you can search.
• Templates are files that already include formatting and
formulas complete with designs, tools, and specific data types.
• Templates allow you to create professional workbooks in a
fraction of the time it would take you to develop them from
scratch.
