Programmatically move worksheets within workbooks

  • Article

You can programmatically change the position of worksheets relative to other worksheets in a workbook. If you do not specify a location for the moved sheet, Excel creates a new workbook to contain it.

Applies to: The information in this topic applies to document-level projects and VSTO Add-in projects for Excel. For more information, see Features available by Office application and project type.

To move a worksheet in a document-level customization

  1. Assign the total number of sheets in the workbook to a variable and then move the first worksheet so that it becomes the last one.

    int totalSheets = this.Application.ActiveWorkbook.Sheets.Count;
Globals.Sheet1.Move(Globals.ThisWorkbook.Sheets[totalSheets]);

To move a worksheet in a VSTO Add-in

  1. Assign the total number of sheets in the workbook to a variable and then move the first worksheet so that it becomes the last one.

    int totalSheets = this.Application.ActiveWorkbook.Sheets.Count;
((Excel.Worksheet)Application.ActiveSheet).Move(
    this.Application.Worksheets[totalSheets]);
