How To: Select, Insert, Rename, Move, Delete A Worksheet From A Workbook

A worksheet is a collection of cells where you keep and manipulate the data. Each Excel workbook can contain multiple worksheets.

Select a Worksheet in Excel

When you open an Excel workbook, Excel automatically selects Sheet1 for you. The name of the worksheet appears on its sheet tab at the bottom of the document window.

 Insert additional Worksheet in a Workbook

You can insert as many worksheets as you want. To quickly insert a new worksheet, click the plus sign at the bottom of the document window.

1. Right click on the sheet tab of Sales 2016.

2. Choose Move or Copy.

The ‘Move or Copy’ dialog box appears.

3. Select (move to end) and check Create a copy.
