Default Keep Excel from opening new instance

I have Excel 202 and with a dozen or two open programs sometimes forget I
have excel open and press the Excel icon on my taskbar. If it was Word it
would open a new file for me to start writing, but Excel opens a new window,
tells me it is in use and can open as read only. I have to tell it to
cancel, at which time it continues to open. Then I have to close it and
click on the file I have open.
HOW can I either get Excel to behave like Word or get it to not even bother
opening like that.
