The key difference between a workbook and a worksheet in Excel is:
Workbook :
- A workbook is the entire Excel file that contains one or more worksheets.
- It has a .xlsx or .xls extension.
- A workbook can store multiple sheets, macros, charts, and external data.
- Think of it as a folder that holds multiple sheets.
Worksheet :
- A worksheet (also called a spreadsheet) is a single sheet inside a workbook.
- It consists of rows and columns where you enter data.
- Each workbook can have multiple worksheets, accessible via tabs at the bottom.
- Think of it as a page within a workbook.
