Why do many sheets need to be selected in Excel? 

There are various reasons why you might need to select multiple tabs in Excel, including:

• Formatting: If you want to apply the same formatting to multiple sheets in your workbook, selecting them all at once can save time.
• Data entry: If you have a data entry task that requires inputting the same data across multiple spreadsheets, selecting them all at once can make the task more efficient.
• Calculations or data analysis: If you want to perform the same calculations across multiple sheets, selecting them all at once can save time and ensure consistency.
• Printing: If you want to print multiple spreadsheets at once, selecting them all can help you avoid having to print each sheet individually.

Overall, selecting multiple sheets in Excel can help you perform tasks more efficiently and effectively, and can save you time in the long run.
