Save my Excel Sheet & what File Formats are available


To save an Excel spreadsheet, follow these steps:

  1. Click on the "File" tab in the Excel ribbon menu.
  2. Click on "Save" or "Save As".
  3. If you click on "Save", your file will be saved with the same name and in the same location as the original file.
  4. If you click on "Save As", you will have the option to choose a new name for the file and select a location to save it in.
  5. Select the desired file format from the "Save as type" drop-down list. The available file formats will depend on your version of Excel, but common file formats include:

    • Excel Workbook (*.xlsx): This is the default file format for Excel and is compatible with most other spreadsheet software.
    • Excel 97-2003 Workbook (*.xls): This is an older file format that is compatible with older versions of Excel and some other spreadsheet software.
    • CSV (Comma delimited) (*.csv): This is a simple file format that can be opened by many other programs, but may not retain formatting or other advanced features.
6. Click "Save" to save the file in the selected format.

It's always a good idea to save your Excel spreadsheet regularly while you are working on it to avoid losing any changes in case of a computer or software malfunction.
