Worksheets

I've been working with Excel 2013 for years then bought Office 365.  First job with new Excell I downloaded some bank data as Excel files and I cannot find a way to label a worksheet, or even see a tab.  I want to create multiple worksheets by copying from different Excel files, then consolidate all data into a common worksheet.

 

What am I doing wrong that I cannot see worksheet tabs in an .xlsx Excel file?  Is this an option setting problem?

  • Hi Patrick,

     

    Please go to Excel Options >> Advanced, then scroll down until you find this checkbox as shown in the screenshot below, and make sure it's checked.

     

    Hope that helps

    What could be else - some banking software generates Excel files where tabs area is minimized to zero, like this

    If focus the mouse on 3 dots and drag to the right tabs will appear:

      Thanks Haytham!  That works perfectly.  The Bank software downloads files in .XLM format which I saved as .XLSX format.  Maybe that is why that option was not set in the .XLSX file.
