How can you create a new workbook in Excel?

Creating a new workbook in Excel can be accomplished through various methods, but the choice that stands out as the most direct and commonly used approach is to click on "File," then select "New," and choose "Blank Workbook." This method opens the Excel application and provides options for different types of new files that can be created immediately.

When you navigate through the "File" menu, you gain access to a range of options specifically designed for managing your documents, including the ability to create new workbooks. Selecting "New" typically displays several template options and a 'Blank Workbook', allowing for quick and easy access to start fresh with your spreadsheet work.

The other options involve less conventional methods or are not primarily intended for creating new workbooks. For instance, the "Save As" function is intended for saving existing workbooks rather than creating new ones. Right-clicking on the desktop to choose "New Workbook" may not work depending on the operating system and Excel installation, and while the shortcut Ctrl + N is a quick way to open a new workbook, it is not as intuitive for users unfamiliar with keyboard shortcuts. The selected choice provides both clarity and direct access to the new workbook creation process within the Excel user interface.
