18.2.20 sheets (Sheets)

This element represents the collection of sheets in the workbook. There are different types of sheets you can create in SpreadsheetML. The most common sheet type is a worksheet; also called a spreadsheet. A worksheet is the primary document that you use in SpreadsheetML to store and work with data. A worksheet consists of cells that are organized into columns and rows.

Some workbooks might have a modular design where there is one sheet for data and another worksheet for each specific analysis performed on that data. In a complex modular system, you might have dozens of sheets, each dedicated to a specific task.

[Example:

<sheets>
<sheet name="Sheet1" sheetId="1" r:id="rId1"/>
<sheet name="Sheet2" sheetId="2" r:id="rId2"/>
<sheet name="Sheet5" sheetId="3" r:id="rId3"/>
<sheet name="Chart1" sheetId="4" type="chartsheet" r:id="rId4"/>
</sheets>

end example]
