Excel - how about allowing colored worksheet tabs for organizing

[Guest]

I use multiple worksheets to track costs in my field. Sometimes with
multiple worksheets it can get cumbersome to track sheets that are
interdependent on one another. I thought it would be nice to be able to
color the worksheet tabs in a workbook with similar colors so as to be able
to more easily track which sheets work with one another.

This function was added to XL02.

If your Excel is prior to Excel 2002 there is still something you can
do and I think it makes more sense than colored tabs.
Your could prefix the sheetname with a prefix like "f." or "k."
and then you sort your worksheet tabs.

Now that I actually have XL XP, I colored a sheet tab (ugh) then
thought about sorting on color, but then I came to my senses and
relized that would mess up looking up things alphabetically, and now
I'm going to uncolor that sore thumb on worksheet.
