createSheet-methods

Creating worksheets in a workbook

Creates worksheets with specified names in a '>workbook.

Usage

# S4 method for workbook
createSheet(object, name)

Details

Creates a worksheet with the specified name if it does not already exist. Note that the naming of worksheets needs to be in line with Excel's convention, otherwise an exception will be thrown. For example, worksheet names cannot be longer than 31 characters. Also note that the name argument is vectorized, so multiple worksheets can be created in one method call.
