<sheets> (Sheets)

This element represents the collection of sheets in the workbook. There are different types of sheets you can create in SpreadsheetML. The most common sheet type is a worksheet; also called a spreadsheet. A worksheet is the primary document that you use in SpreadsheetML to store and work with data. A worksheet consists of cells that are organized into columns and rows.

Some workbooks might have a modular design where there is one sheet for data and another worksheet for each type of analysis. In a complex modular system, you might have dozens of sheets, each dedicated to a specific task.
