# SheetView versus FpSpread

This topic explains the difference between SheetView and FpSpread. Learn more about them in documentation.

## Content



In Spread, there are several objects that should not be confused. The sheet in a multiple-sheet workbook corresponds to a SheetView object. In a hierarchical data display, each child (expanded) sheet of the parent sheet corresponds to a separate SheetView object. The FpSpread object is somewhat like a workbook.

For more detailed information on these objects, refer to the FarPoint.Web.Spread.[SheetView](/spreadnet/api/latest/online-asp/FarPoint.Web.Spread/FarPoint.Web.Spread.SheetView.html) object and the FarPoint.Web.Spread.[FpSpread](/spreadnet/api/latest/online-asp/FarPoint.Web.Spread/FarPoint.Web.Spread.FpSpread.html) object in the API reference documentation.
