How do I copy a new worksheet in Excel?

To copy a worksheet in Excel, you need to utilize the "Move or Copy" feature. Here's a step-by-step guide:

Steps to Copy a Worksheet

Step	Action
1	Right-click the worksheet tab you wish to copy.
2	From the context menu that appears, select "Move or Copy."
3	In the "Move or Copy" dialog box, check the "Create a copy" checkbox. This is a crucial step for copying rather than moving.
4	Under "Before sheet," choose the location where you want the copy to be placed relative to other sheets.
5	Click "OK." This action creates the copy and places it according to your selection.

The dialog box presents several options:

Book: This dropdown allows you to select which workbook to copy or move the worksheet to.
Before sheet: This section lets you specify the position of the copied or moved sheet. The worksheet will be placed before the sheet you select from the list.
Create a copy: This checkbox is essential to ensure that the original worksheet is preserved and a duplicate is created.

You can rename the copied sheet by double-clicking its tab and typing in a new name.
When copying a sheet that contains formulas, ensure that the copied formulas reference the correct cells or sheets in your duplicated worksheet.
This process is applicable whether you are working with simple data or complex spreadsheets, offering a straightforward way to duplicate worksheets.
If you need to create multiple copies, you would repeat this process for each copy needed.

Let's say you have a sheet named "Data Sheet," and you wish to copy this sheet before another sheet named "Analysis Sheet." Here's what you would do:

This action will create a duplicate of "Data Sheet" and insert it directly before the "Analysis Sheet," leaving your original "Data Sheet" untouched.
