Shortcut for new sheet in excel - Word и Excel - помощь в работе с программами

Many users find that using an external keyboard with keyboard shortcuts for Excel helps them work more efficiently. For users with mobility or vision disabilities, keyboard shortcuts can be easier than using the touchscreen and are an essential alternative to using a mouse.

Notes:

The shortcuts in this topic refer to the US keyboard layout. Keys for other layouts might not correspond exactly to the keys on a US keyboard.
A plus sign (+) in a shortcut means that you need to press multiple keys at the same time.
A comma sign (,) in a shortcut means that you need to press multiple keys in order.

This article describes the keyboard shortcuts, function keys, and some other common shortcut keys in Excel for Windows.

Notes:

To quickly find a shortcut in this article, you can use the Search. Press Ctrl+F, and then type your search words.
If an action that you use often does not have a shortcut key, you can record a macro to create one. For instructions, go to Automate tasks with the Macro Recorder.

Ribbon keyboard shortcuts

The ribbon groups related options on tabs. For example, on the Home tab, the Number group includes the Number Format option. Press the Alt key to display the ribbon shortcuts, called Key Tips, as letters in small images next to the tabs and options as shown in the image below.

You can combine the Key Tips letters with the Alt key to make shortcuts called Access Keys for the ribbon options. For example, press Alt+H to open the Home tab, and Alt+Q to move to the Tell me or Search field. Press Alt again to see KeyTips for the options for the selected tab.

Depending on the version of Microsoft 365 you are using, the Search text field at the top of the app window might be called Tell Me instead. Both offer a largely similar experience, but some options and search results can vary.

In Office 2013 and Office 2010, most of the old Alt key menu shortcuts still work, too. However, you need to know the full shortcut. For example, press Alt, and then press one of the old menu keys, for example, E (Edit), V (View), I (Insert), and so on. A notification pops up saying you’re using an access key from an earlier version of Microsoft 365. If you know the entire key sequence, go ahead, and use it. If you don’t know the sequence, press Esc and use Key Tips instead.

Use the Access keys for ribbon tabs

To go directly to a tab on the ribbon, press one of the following access keys. Additional tabs might appear depending on your selection in the worksheet.

To do this	Press
Move to the Tell me or Search field on the ribbon and type a search term for assistance or Help content.	Alt+Q, then enter the search term.
Open the File menu.	Alt+F
Open the Home tab and format text and numbers and use the Find tool.	Alt+H
Open the Insert tab and insert PivotTables, charts, add-ins, Sparklines, pictures, shapes, headers, or text boxes.	Alt+N
Open the Page Layout tab and work with themes, page setup, scale, and alignment.	Alt+P
Open the Formulas tab and insert, trace, and customize functions and calculations.	Alt+M
Open the Data tab and connect to, sort, filter, analyze, and work with data.	Alt+A
Open the Review tab and check spelling, add notes and threaded comments, and protect sheets and workbooks.	Alt+R
Open the View tab and preview page breaks and layouts, show and hide gridlines and headings, set zoom magnification, manage windows and panes, and view macros.	Alt+W

Use function key shortcuts

Excel for Mac uses the function keys for common commands, including Copy and Paste. For quick access to these shortcuts, you can change your Apple system preferences, so you don’t have to press the Fn key every time you use a function key shortcut.

Note: Changing system function key preferences affects how the function keys work for your Mac, not just Excel for Mac. After changing this setting, you can still perform the special features printed on a function key. Just press the Fn key. For example, to use the F12 key to change your volume, you would press Fn+F12.

If a function key doesn’t work as you expect it to, press the Fn key in addition to the function key. If you don’t want to press the Fn key each time, you can change your Apple system preferences. For instructions, go to Change function key preferences with the mouse.

Quick tips for using keyboard shortcuts with Excel for the web

To find any command quickly, press Alt+Windows logo key, Q to jump to the Search or Tell Me text field.

So, keep in mind the importance of having a new sheet. This article will teach you the shortcut keys to insert new sheets in Excel.

How to Insert New Excel Worksheet?

We do not know whether you have noticed or not. But, by default, when we open the new workbook, we will have three worksheets in place “Sheet1, Sheet2, and Sheet3.”

However, we can modify this default setting. However, that is a different topic altogether. You can refer to our article on “Insert New Worksheet” to have detailed information. So, let us get back to this topic, “Excel Shortcut New Sheet.”

Inserting a new worksheet is often required while working in Excel, so we can insert excel worksheet in excelTo add a new worksheet, go to the bottom of the screen and press the ‘+’ button. You can also navigate to ‘Home’, ‘Insert,’ and then ‘Insert Sheet’ to add a new sheet.read more using multiple ways.

#1 – New Excel Worksheet Shortcut Using Manual Process

Follow the below steps to add a new Excel worksheet manually.

We need to right-click on any existing worksheets to insert a new worksheet.
When we right-click on the worksheet, we see the option Insert. If we click on this, it will open the dialog below.
From the above, choose Worksheet, and we will have the new worksheet in place.

We have noticed that when the new sheet is inserted, it will push the existing worksheet to the right, and the new sheet becomes the active sheet.

There is also another manual way of inserting a new worksheet, which will be easier than the above method.

We must go to the “HOME” tab in the ribbon and choose the “Insert” button under the “HOME” tab.

Now, select the “Insert Sheet” option. As a result, it will insert the new worksheet by pushing the active worksheet to the right side and acquiring the position of the active sheet.

#2 – Insert New Excel Sheet by Using Shortcut Key

The manual steps are time-consuming and frustrating, but we can quickly insert new worksheets using shortcut keys. For example, below is the shortcut key to insert a new sheet in the Excel workbook.

Shortcut key to Insert New Sheet:

We need to hold the “SHIFT” key and press the “F11” function key to insert a new sheet in the existing Excel workbook.

If we press the “F11” key by holding the “SHIFT” key, it will keep inserting the new worksheets in the serial order of the worksheet. For example, look at the below existing worksheet in Excel.

We have worksheets named “Sheet 1, Sheet 2, Sheet 3, and Sheet 4.” The active sheet is “Sheet 1.“

Now, we will press “Shift + F11” and see the position of the new worksheet and its name.

The new worksheet position is to the left of the active sheet, and the new sheet name is incremental to the last worksheet name.

For example, the last worksheet name was “Sheet 4.” When we inserted the new worksheet, it became “Sheet 5.”

Now, we will delete the worksheet “Sheet 5.”

Again, we will insert the new sheet using the shortcut key “Shift + F11.”

Now, look at the worksheet name. Instead of getting “Sheet 5” as the new worksheet name, we have obtained “Sheet 6“. We have already inserted “Sheet 5” and deleted it, so Excel counts how many worksheets are inserted.

Replica of Existing Sheet as New Sheet by Using Shortcut

We may need to create a new worksheet to have the existing data in the new worksheet in many cases. If we follow the process of inserting a new worksheet and then copying the data to a new worksheet, we will show you new techniques.

For example, look at the below data in Excel.

In “Sheet 2,” we have the below data. Now, we need the same data in a new worksheet.

So, in the new technique, we need to hold the Ctrl key and drag the worksheet to the right side. While dragging, we may see a small “PLUS” icon appear.

The moment we place our cursor outside the sheet, release the “Ctrl” key and release mouse holding. It will create a new worksheet.

Like this, we can create a new sheet in excel using shortcut keysAn Excel shortcut is a technique of performing a manual task in a quicker way.read more.

Things to Remember Here

The “SHIFT + F11” key is the shortcut key to insert a new worksheet.
We can use the “Ctrl + Drag” keys. It can create a replica of the existing worksheet, and the only changes are the sheet name.

Keyboard Shortcut to Insert a New Worksheet

If you are a fan of keyboard shortcuts, this is probably the fastest way to insert a new worksheet in an already open workbook in excel.

Below is the keyboard shortcut to insert a new worksheet

SHIFT + F11

For this shortcut, hold the SHIFT key and then press the F11 key.

Another keyboard shortcut that does the same job is ALT + SHIFT + F1 (hold the ALT and the SHIFT keys and press the F1 key)

Personally, I find using the keyboard shortcut to be the best way to insert a new worksheet in Excel. Even if I have to insert multiple worksheets (say 3 or 5 or 10), I can still do that very quickly

Insert New Sheet Using the Plus Icon

If you’re not a big fan of keyboard shortcuts and prefer using the mouse instead, this method is for you.

At the bottom of your worksheet (in the area that has all the sheet names), you will see the plus icon.

Clicking on this plus icon will immediately insert a new worksheet.

Insert New Sheet Using the Insert Dialog Box

Another way to insert a new sheet in Excel is by using the Insert dialog box.

Below are the steps to do this:

Right-click on any of the sheets
Click the Insert option

Right click and then click on Insert Sheet

In the Insert dialog box, make sure Worksheet is already selected (which is also the default option).

Make Sure Worksheet is Selected in the Insert dialog box

Click on Ok

While this is not the fastest way to add a new sheet in an Excel workbook, it’s good to know as it gives you access to some other things as well.

Apart from inserting a regular worksheet, you can also use this to insert a ‘Chart Sheet’ or a ‘Macro Sheet’ using the insert dialog box.

If you’re wondering, a Chart Sheet is just like a worksheet but is meant only to hold a chart. A macro sheet is something that was used earlier before the VBA days and is no longer used.

In most cases, you won’t be needing these, but it’s good to know.

There is also the Spreadsheet Solutions tab that holds some of the templates. You can also create and get your own templates here. So the next time you need to quickly insert a template, you can do it from here.

Adding New Worksheets Using the Insert Tab in the Ribbon

And finally, you also have an option in the Excel ribbon to add a new worksheet.

To do this:

Click the Home tab

In the Cells group, click on the Insert option

Click on the Insert Sheet option.

This will insert one new worksheet in the open workbook

How to Insert Multiple Worksheets in One Go (One Line VBA Code)

So far, the methods that I have shown you insert one new worksheet at a time.

In case you want to insert multiple worksheets, you would have to use these methods again and again (i.e., use the keyboard shortcuts multiple times or use the plus icon multiple times).

While this works fine in most cases, if you have to insert worksheets in bulk, saying so 10 or 20 or 30 worksheets in one go, then this could be time-consuming and error-prone.

So let me show you a better way to insert multiple new worksheets in one go.

This can be done easily using a simple one-line VBA code:

Sheets.Add Count:=10

The above code would instantly add 10 new sheets in the workbook in which it’s run (if you want any other number of sheets to be added, just change the value in the code)

Below are the steps to run this macro code:

Click the Developer tab (or use the keyboard shortcut ALT + F11) and then click on Visual Basic

Click the Visual Basic icon in the Developer tab

If you don’t see the immediate window in the VB Editor, click on the View option and then click on Immediate window

Click the View tab and then click on Immediate window

Copy and paste the above code in the immediate window

Copy the line of code in the Immediate window

Place the cursor at the end of the VBA code line and hit Enter

As soon as you hit Enter, it would instantly insert 10 new sheets in the workbook. In case you want to insert more (say 20 or 30), just change the number in the code

The good thing about using this code is that you can be sure that it would insert the right number of sheets (no chance of human error if the code is executed without any errors).

In case you need to do this quite often, you can use the below code and paste it into our Personal Macro workbook.

Sub AddSheets()
Sheets.Add Count:=10
End Sub

Once in Personal Macro Workbook, you can add it to the Quick Access Toolbar so you always have access to it in the workbook.

This way, you can easily add 10 or 20 sheets with just a single click.

Changing the Default Number of Sheets with New Excel Workbooks

If you always have a need for more worksheets in the workbook, you can change the default number of sheets you get when you open a new Excel file.

For example, you can change the setting so that you always get 5 or 10 sheets by default with every newly opened workbook.

Below are the steps to change this default setting:

Open any Excel workbook
Click the File tab

Click on Options. This will open the Excel Options dialog box
In the Excel Options dialog box, make sure the General option is selected in the left-pane

In the ‘When creating new workooks’ section, enter the number of sheets you want (in the Include this many sheets value).

Click OK

Now when you open a new Excel workbook, it will have the specified number of worksheets.

Note that an Excel file can have a maximum of 255 sheets.

These are all the ways you can use to insert a new sheet in Excel. In most cases, you only need to add one or a couple of new sheets, so you can use the keyboard shortcut or the plus icon in the worksheet.

And in case you have a need to insert many new sheets in bulk, you can use the VBA code. Alternatively, you can also change the default number of sheets in any new Excel workbook.

What to Know

Add one worksheet: Press Shift+F11 or select Plus (+) next to the sheet tabs. Or, go to Home > Insert > Insert Sheet.
Add multiple sheets: Press Ctrl+Shift+PgDn (right) or Ctrl+Shift+PgUp (left) to select adjacent worksheets, then press Shift+F11.
Or, select a sheet, press and hold Ctrl, select adjacent sheets, then right-click on the last tab and select Insert > Worksheet > OK.

This article explains how to add new worksheets to your Excel workbooks quickly and easily using keyboard and mouse shortcuts. Instructions cover Excel 2019, 2016, 2013, 2010, and 2007.

Insert Single Worksheets with Keyboard Shortcuts

There are two different keyboard key combinations you can use to insert a new worksheet in Excel: Shift+F11 and Alt+Shift+F1. Choose the keyboard shortcut that’s most comfortable for you to access.

To insert a worksheet using Shift+F11, follow these steps:

Press and hold the Shift key on the keyboard.
Press and release the F11 key.
Release the Shift key. A new worksheet is inserted into the current workbook to the left of all existing worksheets.
To add multiple worksheets, press Shift+F11 for each additional worksheet.

Insert Multiple Worksheets With Keyboard Shortcuts

To add multiple worksheets at one time using the above keyboard shortcuts, highlight the number of existing worksheet tabs to tell Excel how many new sheets are to be added before applying the keyboard shortcut.

The selected worksheet tabs must be adjacent to each other for this method to work.

To select multiple sheets, use the Shift key and your mouse or use one of these keyboard shortcuts:

Ctrl+Shift+PgDn selects sheets to the right.
Ctrl+Shift+PgUp selects sheets to the left.

Here’s an example of how to insert three new worksheets:

Select one worksheet tab in the workbook to highlight it.
Press and hold Ctrl+Shift.
Press and release the PgDn key twice to highlight the two sheets to the right. Three sheets are highlighted.
Press Shift+F11 to insert the new worksheets (see the instructions above if you need help). Three new worksheets are added to the workbook to the left of the existing worksheets.

Insert Single Worksheets With the Sheet Tabs

To add a single worksheet using the mouse, select the Plus (+) icon next to the sheet tabs at the bottom of the Excel screen. The new sheet is inserted to the right of the currently active sheet.

In Excel 2010 and 2007, the New Sheet icon is an image of a worksheet but it’s still located next to the sheet tabs at the bottom of the screen.

Insert Multiple Worksheets With the Sheet Tabs

While it’s possible to add multiple worksheets by selecting New Sheet several times, there’s another way to use a dialog box. With this method, the new worksheets are added to the right of all existing worksheets.

To use the Insert dialog box to add multiple worksheets:

Select a sheet tab to highlight it.
Press and hold the CTRL key.
Select additional adjacent sheet tabs to highlight them. Highlight the same number of sheet tabs as the number of new sheets you want to add.
Right-click on the last sheet tab you selected and select Insert to open the Insert dialog box.
Select Worksheet in the Insert dialog box, then select OK to add the new sheets and close the dialog box.

Insert Single Worksheets With the Ribbon Bar

Another method to add a new worksheet is to use the Insert option located on the Home tab of the ribbon bar in Excel. If you’re more comfortable with visual controls, you may find this option the easiest.

Follow these steps to insert a single worksheet using the Insert command:

Select the Home tab.
Select the Insert drop-down arrow to open the drop-down menu of options.
Select Insert Sheet to add a new sheet to the left of the active sheet.

Insert Multiple Worksheets with the Ribbon Bar

It’s also possible to insert multiple worksheets using the Insert command on the ribbon bar. Here’s how:

Select a sheet tab to highlight it.
Press and hold the CTRL key.
Select additional adjacent sheet tabs to highlight them. Highlight the same number of sheet tabs as the number of new sheets you want to add.
Select the Home tab.
Select the Insert drop-down arrow to open the drop-down menu of options.
Select Insert Sheet to add the new worksheets to the left of the active sheet.

Examples of Excel Shortcut New Sheet

Excel Shortcut New Sheet

When we open an Excel file, there we get to see the 3 worksheets which are already there in every new file by default. The sheets are always in the sequence of Sheet1, Sheet2, and Sheet3 respectively or in some cases, there is only one sheet as Sheet1. When we change the name of any of the worksheet and later we add a new worksheet by any method, then the added worksheet would have name as Sheet4. That name would be in sequence to the names and worksheets which were already present there. Even if we delete any worksheet and add a new one, then also the sequence of the selected worksheet would be the same, considering the deleted worksheet into the count. There are different ways to add a new worksheet into an Excel file.

How to Use Excel Shortcut New Sheet?

There are different ways to open a new sheet in the opened Excel file. The generic procedure of adding a new worksheet in Excel is by clicking right on the sheet name tab and selecting the Insert option from the menu list.

The different process of adding new sheets are as below;

Manual Process
Through Home menu ribbon
Through shortcut keys

Examples of Excel Shortcut New Sheet

Lets us discuss the examples of Excel Shortcut New Sheet.

Example #1

In this example we will see the basic method of adding a new sheet in MS Excel. For this we will open a blank Excel file as shown below. Currently, in our system as per the setting we could only see one worksheet.

Now to add a worksheet in the opened Excel file, click right on the sheet name tab as shown below and select Insert option.

We will then get a box which will ask different files which we want to open and insert. Select Worksheet icon as shown below and click on OK.

A new worksheet will get added in the sequential name of Sheet2 as shown below.

Example #2

This is another shortcut method to add new sheet in an excel file. For this, again open a excel workbook and there is section at the bottom left which has the sheet names along with a PLUS option as shown below.

Now click on that PLUS button.

This will simply add a new worksheet as per the current naming sequence or previously added file names. Here, we already had Sheet1 and Sheet2, so we would get Sheet3 as shown below.

If we change the name of worksheet into different names and again we try to add new sheets then we will see the new worksheet will be added with same default name. For testing, we have change the names of the sheets as Test1, Test2 and Test3 as shown below. Now click on the PLUS tab and see the name of worksheet which will get added.

We will see, the newly added sheet name is by default named as Sheet4, in the sequence of number of sheet which we added recently.

Example #3

To add a new worksheet in an Excel file, we have a shortcut key, which would simply add a new worksheet into opened excel file. To insert a new sheet using shortcut key press SHIFT + F11 together. This would add a new sheet in the sequential name of worksheets which are already opened.

Example #4

We have seen most of the possible ways to add new sheet in Excel. But every function or operations which we could be performed by shortcut keys and right click menu list, could also be performed by using the options available in Menu ribbon tab. To insert a new sheet using menu option first go to Home menu ribbon and under the cells section we have Insert option under same Home menu ribbon as shown below.

From the dropdown menu list of Insert option, we select Insert Sheet as shown below.

Once we select this Insert Sheet option, a new worksheet will get added as shown below in the name of Sheet6.

Example #5

There is another way to add a new worksheet. For this, press and hold CTRL key and drag any added worksheet as shown below.

Once we release the CTRL key the selected sheet will get copied along with data with duplicate name of the same as shown below.

Pros Of Excel Shortcut New Sheet

All the methods and procedures shown in above examples are simple to execute.
There is no limit on restrictions on adding new worksheet by any method.
We can change the setting to see the default sheet names and default sheets count when we open a worksheet or a workbook.

Things To Remember

Mostly the sheet name is in the sequential count as per the sheet added previously.
If we delete any worksheet and add a new one after that, then newly added worksheet number sequence will be as per the deleted worksheet, not with respect to available worksheet. For example, we have 3 worksheets and we delete 3^rd Adding a new worksheet after that, will be named as Sheet4.
We can even change the default name of any worksheet from Sheet1 to any other name.
Dragging the already existed sheet, will create the new copy of the same worksheet with data available under it.
