The default name for the a new sheet is "SheetX", where X is a number. While this works for a small spreadsheet with only a few sheets, it becomes awkward when there are many sheets.

To give a sheet a more meaningful name, you can:

• Enter the name in the name box when you create the sheet, or
• Right-click on a sheet tab and select Rename Sheet from the pop-up menu and replace the existing name with a better one.
