In Excel Ribbon, the buttons and icons are grouped into different tabs based on the category of their
functionalities. It contains seven tabs: Home, Insert, Page Layout, Formulas, Data, Review,
and View.
Each tab has its specific groups of related commands. These groups have several additional commands
that can view by clicking the arrow at the right bottom corner of any group.
The Ribbon first appeared in Excel 2007, replacing the traditional toolbars and
pull-down menus found in previous versions. In Excel 2010, Microsoft added the
ability to personalize the Ribbon.
In Excel, the Ribbon is made up of these four basic components,
such as:
2.Ribbon group: A set of closely related commands normally performed as part of a larger task.
3.Dialog launcher: A small arrow in the lower-right corner of a group brings up more related
commands. Dialog launchers appear in groups that contain more commands than available
space.
The standard Excel ribbon contains the following tabs, from left to right:
•File: It allows you to jump into the backstage view that contains the essential file-related commands and
Excel options. This tab was introduced in Excel 2010 as replacing the Office button in Excel 2007 and
the File menu in earlier versions.
•Home: It contains the most frequently used commands such as copying and pasting, sorting and
filtering, formatting, etc.
•Insert: It is used for adding different objects in a worksheet such as images, charts, PivotTables,
hyperlinks, special symbols, equations, headers, and footers.
•Draw: It depends on the device type you're using. It lets you draw with a digital pen, mouse, or finger.
This tab is available in Excel 2013 and later, but the Developer tab is not visible by default.
•Page Layout: It provides tools to manage the worksheet appearance, both onscreen and printed. These
tools control theme settings, gridlines, page margins, object aligning, and print area.
•Formulas: It contains tools for inserting functions, defining names, and controlling the calculation
options.
•Data: It holds the commands for managing the worksheet data as well as connecting to external data.
•Review: It allows you to check spelling, track changes, add comments and notes, protect worksheets and
workbooks.
•View: It provides commands for switching between worksheet views, freezing panes, viewing, and
arranging multiple windows.
•Help: It only appears in Excel 2019 and Office 365. This tab provides quick access to the Help Task Pane
and allows you to contact Microsoft support, send feedback, suggest a feature, and get quick access to
training videos.
•Developer: It provides access to advanced features such as VBA macros, ActiveX and Form controls,
and XML commands. This tab is hidden by default, and you have to enable it first.
•Add-ins: It appears when you open an older workbook or load an add-in that customizes the toolbars or
menu.

are created in the spreadsheet and excel automatically selects sheet1 for you

to view the sheets.
