Saving a workbook:
When a new workbook is created in Excel, it must be saved so that it can accessed and
edited later. Excel offers two ways to save a file: Save and Save As. These options work in
similar ways, with a few important differences.
Save: Choose Save option to simply save the changes made in an already existing
workbook
Save As: Choose Save As option when saving a file for the first time or wanted to give
a different name to an already saved file.
To save a workbook:
On the File tab, click Save As or Select the Save command on the Quick Access
Toolbar.
If you're saving the file for the first time, the Save As pane will appear
in Backstage view.
Choose a folder under This PC or click Browse to select a location to save the
workbook on your computer.
The Save As dialog box will appear. Select the location where you want to save
the workbook.
Enter a file name for the workbook, then click Save. The workbook will be saved.
