Excel provides a collection of professionally designed gauges that you can employ to help you to create workbooks. Start with a gauge when you have a good idea of your contents but want to benefit from the professional glance of a gauge.A
template is an Excel workbook file that provides you
with an unified design, which includes themes, so you only need to add
text and graphics. In the Start or New screen (New!),
you can choose a template from those already installed with Excel or
from the library on the Microsoft Office Online web site. If you
frequently use a template, you can pin it (New!) to the Start or New screen.
