    Thanks for the input. The ribbon I see at the top of the worksheet is missing the commands indicated in your messages. This is probably because I am working with an Excel program that is hosted in the cloud and it has apparently been modified. I'll just use Ctrl-W to close a worksheet.

    Hi,

    Thank you for posting in Microsoft Community.

    Refer the screenshot mentioned below and click on the "x" mark (highlight with red circle in the image) on the top left hand side corner to close the worksheet in a workbook.

    I hope the above suggestion helps. Let us know if you need any further assistance.

    Thank you.

    To close just a workbook/worksheet and not excel:

    1. At top of screen notice at top left corner the stoplight buttons (red, yellow, green dots.)
    2. Click on the red button.
    3. Save the file when asked.
