Sheets Object

  • Article
Excel Developer Reference

A collection of all the sheets in the specified or active workbook.

Remarks

The Sheets collection can contain Chart or Worksheet objects.

The Sheets collection is useful when you want to return sheets of any type. If you need to work with sheets of only one type, see the object topic for that sheet type.

Example

Use the Sheets property to return the Sheets collection. The following example prints all sheets in the active workbook.

Visual Basic for Applications 
  Sheets.PrintOut

Use the Add method to create a new sheet and add it to the collection. The following example adds two chart sheets to the active workbook, placing them after sheet two in the workbook.

Visual Basic for Applications 
  Sheets.Add type:=xlChart, count:=2, after:=Sheets(2)

Use Sheets(

index

), where

index

is the sheet name or index number, to return a single Chart or Worksheet object. The following example activates the sheet named "sheet1."

Visual Basic for Applications 
  Sheets("sheet1").Activate

Use Sheets(

array

) to specify more than one sheet. The following example moves the sheets named "Sheet4" and "Sheet5" to the beginning of the workbook.

Visual Basic for Applications 
  Sheets(Array("Sheet4", "Sheet5")).Move before:=Sheets(1)
