When you're creating a new workbook, you don't have to start from scratch.
Instead, you can use a template as a starting point, which can save you time,
and it also allows you to use functions or other features
that you may not know how to set up yourself.
Click on the File tab to go to Backstage view.
We're going to create a new workbook.
But instead of creating a blank one, we'll select
a template.
The Sample templates are the ones that are installed on your computer,
and below are the Office.com templates, which you can download.
Just click on a category to see more.
I'm going to select Budgets.
And I'd like to see what kinds of Business budgets
there are.
When you click on a template, you'll be able to
see a preview of it on the right,
along with the person or company who created it and the rating.
This Event budget looks good, so I'll just click
Download.
This entire budget is already set up for me.
There are functions in some of the cells, and
there are even a couple of charts,
so when I enter in my values, everything will be calculated automatically.
If I need to, I can modify any part of the spreadsheet to make it relevant to my event.
You can see how using a template can really save
time,
so look through some of the templates to see which ones
you might be able to use in your projects.
