You can programmatically add a new worksheet to the collection of worksheets in the workbook.

To add a new worksheet to a workbook in a document-level customization

  • Use the Add(Object, Object, Object, Object) method of the Sheets collection.

    Dim newWorksheet As Excel.Worksheet
    newWorksheet = CType(Globals.ThisWorkbook.Worksheets.Add(), Excel.Worksheet)
    
    Excel.Worksheet newWorksheet;
    newWorksheet = (Excel.Worksheet)Globals.ThisWorkbook.Worksheets.Add(
        missing, missing, missing, missing);
    

    The new worksheet is a native Worksheet object and not a host item. If you want to add a Microsoft.Office.Tools.Excel.Worksheet host item, you should add the worksheet at design time.
