Duplicating a Sheet in Excel for the Web

Duplicating a sheet in Excel for the web creates an exact copy of the original sheet within the same workbook. This is useful for making backups before major changes, creating templates, or working with similar data structures.

Here's how to do it:

  • Navigate to the Sheet: Open your workbook in Excel for the web and locate the sheet you want to duplicate.
  • Find the Sheet Tab: Look at the bottom of the Excel window where the names of all your sheets are displayed as tabs.
  • Right-Click the Tab: Right-click the tab name at the bottom of the sheet you wish to copy.
  • Select Duplicate: From the menu that pops up, select the option Duplicate.

Once you click 'Duplicate', Excel for the web will create a new sheet next to the original one. The new sheet will have a name like "SheetName (2)". You can then rename this new sheet as needed.

Note: This method specifically applies to Excel for the web, as described in the provided reference.
