Crafting an Excel workbook? Get essential tips for both structural design and visual appeal. Ideal for anyone looking to create efficient, professional-looking Excel reports.
There are two main aspects when you design an Excel spreadsheet:
1. Excel Workbook Structure
2. Visual Design of Each Excel Worksheet
Key Highlights:
▪️ Structured Tab Organization: Keep raw data, analysis, calculations, and change logs in separate tabs. Each sheet should have a clear, explainable purpose.
▪️ Thorough Documentation: Include an instructions tab, especially if the workbook is for collaborative use. Define abbreviations and outline each tab's purpose.
▪️ File Recovery Practices: Utilize Excel's file recovery options but also maintain backup copies for extra safety.
▪️ Print-Ready Design: Ensure your workbook is print-friendly. Check print previews, add headers, footers, and page numbers for complete, organized printouts.
▪️ Consistent Color Coding: Use colors strategically to differentiate between input cells and calculated fields. Ensure readability with good color contrast.
▪️ Effective Formatting: Invest time in organizing and decluttering your workbook. It enhances understanding and appreciation of your work.
