Move or copy sheets in Excel

Caution: Be careful when you move or copy sheets. Calculations or charts based on worksheet data might become inaccurate if you move the worksheet. Similarly, if you insert a worksheet between sheets that are referred to by a 3-D formula reference, data on that worksheet might be included in the calculation.

  1. To move or copy sheets to another workbook, open the workbook that will receive the sheets.


  2. Switch to the workbook that contains the sheets you want to move or copy, and then select the sheets.


  3. On the Edit menu, click Move or Copy Sheet.


  4. In the To book box, click the workbook to receive the sheets.

    To move or copy the selected sheets to a new workbook, click new book.


  5. In the Before sheet box, click the sheet before which you want to insert the moved or copied sheets.


  6. To copy the sheets instead of moving them, select the Create a copy check box.
