What is the Create Sheet Action?

The Create Sheet Action adds a sheet to a Microsoft Excel workbook.

Creating a Create Sheet Action

Drag and drop the Selector onto the Targets list in the target workbook to display the available target options. Continue to drag the Selector to the Sheets item, releasing your mouse to display the Target Preview.  As an alternative, you may also target the Sheets tab along the bottom of the workbook. If this is the first time the workbook was targeted, Nintex RPA LE will attempt to create a workbook connection automatically. (For more information about Microsoft Excel workbook connections, read the Excel Connections article.)

A preview of the target is displayed. Select the Create Sheet Action from the Actions list.

Select the Rules to change the Connection for this Action. Both the Timing  and Error settings for this action may be configured to fine tune the how the Action will run.

Note: For more information about the timing and error settings, go to Action Builder.

Enter the desired Name for the new sheet.  Finally, select the desired position of the new sheet - this is the position in which the sheet will be placed once created.

Optionally add Notes to the Action to document any special instructions or functionality. When the Run Switchis set to Run, the action will be executed after clicking OK.

Note: The run switch is set to Run by default. To create or modify this action without executing it, click the slider to change the option to Don't Run.  For more information, go to Action Builder.

Click the OK button to save the Action.
