Using Existing Templates in Excel

by

Templates are predefined layouts, patterns, structures built that can be reused. Microsoft office Excel comes with multiple in built Templates.

If you often use the same layout or data, instead of creating an Excel workbook from scratch, you can create a workbook based on a template.

There are many free templates available, waiting to be used.

Existing Templates

3. Click Create to download the template.

Excel creates the workbook Academic calendar (any year)1.xlsx based on this template.
