    I don't have a copy of Excel 2007 on me, but I thought that one of the nice features was a "+" button on the tab/worksheet bar that automatically added a new worksheet?

    If you are using an older version of Excel then I don't know of an answer.

    Using Xl07 if you click on the icon next to the sheet tab it will add a new sheet or try pressing shift + f11.

    Or right cick sheet tabs > select all sheets > move or copy > tick copy

    or try pressing shift + f11.
    Thanks for this one. Works in 2003 as well, and something I never knew about, but will find useful.

    hey thanks guys
    ive just found a nice little option purely by chance
    go to excel options when creating new workbook and then input the number of sheets you want
    open new
    then reset it
    sorry

    Re: quick way to add tabs

    Not ideal method if each new workbook has lots of sheets as will increase the size of you're new excel files from now on unless you remember to change it back

    Please mark as solved
