Deleting sheets
Sheets can be deleted individually or in groups.
Single sheet
Right-click on the tab of the sheet you want to delete and choose Delete Sheet
from the pop-up menu, or chose Edit > Sheet > Delete from the menu bar.
Multiple sheets
To delete multiple sheets, select them as described earlier, then either right-click
over one of the tabs and select Delete Sheet from the pop-up menu, or choose
Edit > Sheet > Delete from the menu bar.
Renaming sheets
The default name for the a new sheet is SheetX, where X is a number. While this
works for a small spreadsheet with only a few sheets, it becomes awkward when
there are many sheets.
To give a sheet a more meaningful name, you can:
• Enter the name in the Name box when you create the sheet, or
• Right-click on a sheet tab and choose Rename Sheet from the pop-up menu;
replace the existing name with a better one.
• Double-click on a sheet tab to pop up the Rename Sheet dialog.
Note
Sheet names must start with either a letter or a number. Apart from the
first character of the sheet name, allowed characters are letters,
numbers, spaces, and the underline character. Attempting to rename a
sheet with an invalid name will produce an error message.
