Add worksheets to Excel using VBA

Adding worksheets to Excel is quite simple. For example, to add a Worksheet before the active sheet (default unless stated otherwise), name it "MyWorksheet" and have it become the active sheet, you would use code similar to below;

Sub Add_New_Worksheet()
    ' Add a new worksheet in front of the active sheet
    Worksheets.Add().Name = "MyWorksheet"
End Sub

If we want to add a new Worksheet as the last Worksheet in the active workbook and name it "MyWorksheet" we would use;

Sub Add_As_Last_Worksheet()
    ' A a named worksheet to the end
    Worksheets.Add(After:=Worksheets(Worksheets.Count)).Name = "MyWorksheet"
End Sub

The Add Method (with regards to the Worksheet Object) has an After Variant as well as an Before Variant. You can only use one of the options, either the Before or After Variant, or omit the Argument altogether. If we do omit the Before and After Variants Excel places the Worksheet before the current active Sheet.

the example below shows how to add more then one Worksheet, the code below adds 2 new worksheets;

Sub Add_n_Worksheets()
    ' Insert 2 worksheets after the last current worksheet
    Worksheets.Add After:=Worksheets(Worksheets.Count), Count:=2
End Sub

The last Variant available is the Type Variant. The Type specifies the sheet type. The choices available are listed below;
XlSheetType constants:

• xlWorksheet
• xlChart
• xlExcel4MacroSheet
• xlExcel4IntlMacroSheet

If you are inserting a sheet based on an existing template, specify the path to the template (Recording a macro is best for this). The default value is xlWorksheet.
