Selecting Sheets

You can select either one or multiple sheets. It can be advantageous to select multiple sheets at times when you want to make changes to many sheets at once.

Single sheet

Click on the sheet tab for the sheet you want to select. The active sheet becomes white.

Multiple contiguous sheets

To select multiple contiguous sheets:

  1. Click on the sheet tab for the first desired sheet.
  2. Move the mouse pointer over the sheet tab for the last desired sheet.
  3. Hold down the  ⇧ Shift  key and click on the sheet tab.

All the tabs between these two sheets will turn white. Any actions that you perform will now affect all highlighted sheets.

Multiple noncontiguous sheets

To select multiple noncontiguous sheets:

  1. Click on the sheet tab for the first sheet.
  2. Move the mouse pointer over the second sheet tab.
  3. Hold down the  Ctrl  key and click on the sheet tab.
  4. Repeat as necessary.

The selected tabs will turn white. Any actions that you perform will now affect all highlighted sheets.
