How do you create a new worksheet in Excel?

To create a new worksheet in Excel, clicking the '+' icon next to the existing sheet tabs at the bottom of the workbook is the most direct method. This icon is specifically designed for adding new worksheets quickly and easily. When you click on this icon, a new worksheet is created immediately, allowing for efficient organization and management of multiple sheets within your workbook.

While other methods do exist, they often lead to additional steps or actions that may not be as straightforward. For instance, right-clicking on an existing sheet tab to select 'New Worksheet' is a valid approach, but it requires navigating through a context menu, which takes extra time compared to simply clicking the '+' icon. Similarly, using the 'File' menu to select 'New' typically opens a dialog that allows you to create a new workbook rather than adding a sheet to the current workbook. The shortcut Ctrl + N creates an entirely new workbook, which is also not the intended action if the goal is to add a worksheet to the existing file.

Overall, the ease and efficiency of using the '+' icon make it the best choice for quickly adding new worksheets in Excel.
