Worksheets.Copy method (Excel)
Copies the sheet to another location in the workbook.
Syntax
expression.Copy (Before, After)
expression A variable that represents a Worksheets object.
Parameters
| Name | Required/Optional | Data type | Description |
|---|---|---|---|
| Before | Optional | Variant | The sheet before which the copied sheet will be placed. You cannot specify Before if you specify After. |
| After | Optional | Variant | The sheet after which the copied sheet will be placed. You cannot specify After if you specify Before. |
Remarks
If you don't specify either Before or After, Microsoft Excel creates a new workbook that contains the copied sheet.
If the sheet specified by After is hidden and there are no visible sheets after it, the new sheets will be copied after the last visible sheet rather than after the specified one. Making the sheet specified by After visible before the copy allows to get the new sheets in the correct position.
Example
This example copies Sheet1, placing the copy after Sheet3.
Worksheets("Sheet1").Copy After:=Worksheets("Sheet3")
