To duplicate a sheet in Excel on Mac, follow these steps:
-
Select the sheet tab you want to duplicate at the bottom of the workbook.
-
Right-click (or Control + Click) on the sheet tab.
-
Click Move or Copy from the menu.
-
In the dialog box, check the box Create a copy.
-
Choose the location where you want the copy to appear, either before or after another sheet.
-
Click OK. The sheet will be duplicated with the same data and formatting.
Alternative method using keyboard shortcuts:
-
Hold the Option key.
-
Click and drag the sheet tab to the left or right.
-
Release the mouse button. A copy of the sheet will appear in the selected location.
Notes:
-
Formulas, formatting, charts, and data will be copied to the new sheet.
-
Mac versions of Excel use Control + Click for right-click actions, unlike Windows which uses a simple right-click.
-
Any macros linked to the original sheet will not automatically update references unless they are workbook-level macros.
This method ensures an exact copy of the sheet without affecting the original.
