SheetByName method

Returns the worksheet object whose name matches the supplied sheet name, or nil when no worksheet has that name. The classic XLS facade uses the same name matching as the existing Index[SheetName] property

Syntax

function SheetByName(SheetName: WideString): TXLSWorksheet;
function TryGetSheetByName(SheetName: WideString; out Sheet: TXLSWorksheet): Boolean;
    

Parameters

SheetName The worksheet name to locate
Sheet Receives the matching worksheet when TryGetSheetByName returns True; receives nil when no sheet matches

Return value

The matching TXLSWorksheet instance, or nil if the workbook does not contain a sheet with that name. TryGetSheetByName returns True when a match is found and False otherwise

Example

var
  Sheet: TXLSWorksheet;
begin
  Sheet := Workbook.Worksheets.SheetByName('Summary');
  if Sheet <> nil then
    Sheet.Range['A1', 'A1'].Value := 'Ready';

  if Workbook.Worksheets.TryGetSheetByName('Review', Sheet) then
    Sheet.Range['A1', 'A1'].Value := 'Found';
end;
