I create a lot of “tools” in Excel. Rather than call them something basically like a “workbook”, I give my creations names. Like Generator or Summarizer. Is that weird?



Labeling things a “workbook” this or that doesn’t give the things I create justice…particularly when they don’t need you to do work in them. They take someone’s work inputs and generate outputs which is why I think of them as tools that deserve a name as if they are some type of fancy software haha

Hi and welcome. This looks more like a philosophical question than an Excel one

Be very careful ... when those workbooks begin talking back to you ... you've stepped over the threshold. You've reached the 'dark side of Excel' .
