Worksheet is a collection of cells organized in the form of rows and columns that allows you to store, format, and manipulate the data.

You can dynamically add or insert a sheet by one of the following ways,

  • Click the Add Sheet button in the sheet tab. This will add a new empty sheet next to current active sheet.
  • Right-click on the sheet tab, and then select Insert option from the context menu to insert a new empty sheet before the current active sheet.
  • Using insertSheet method, you can insert one or more sheets at your desired index.

The following code example shows the insert sheet operation in spreadsheet.

  • Switch to View tab, and then select Hide Gridlines option to hide the gridlines in worksheet.
  • Set showGridLines property in sheets as true or false to show or hide the gridlines at initial load. By default, the showGridLines property is enabled in each worksheet.

Sheet visibility

Hiding a worksheet can help prevent unauthorized or accidental changes to your file.

There are three visibility state as like Microsoft Excel,

State Description
Visible You can see the worksheet once the component is loaded.
Hidden This worksheet is not visible, but you can unhide by selecting the sheet from List All Sheets dropdown menu.
VeryHidden This worksheet is not visible and cannot be unhidden. Changing the state property to Visible is the only way to view this sheet.

The following code example shows the three types of sheet visibility state.
