First off, I have found this thread very helpful, thank you!
I also wanted to try to copy a sheet after the active sheet, but I could not find the right syntax for the copy command either. Instead I found a solution which let me re-order the sheets afterwards. Maybe this will be helpful to you too:
excel = actxserver('excel.application');
ExcelFile = 'filename';
%open the excel file
wkbk = excel.Workbooks.Open(ExcelFile); %This file has a sheet named "1" which has some formating
wksheet = wkbk.Worksheets.Item('1'); % Choose desired sheet
for n = 2:5
%make a copy of the template sheet
wksheet.Copy(wksheet); %this will create a sheet called "1 (2)" and places it before "1"
newSheet=wkbk.Worksheets.Item('1 (2)'); %get a handle to this copied sheet
newSheet.Name=num2str(n); %rename it with a new name
end
%In Excel this results in five sheets, in order named: 2 3 4 5 1, but I want the order: 1 2 3 4 5
% Get the list of sheets in the workbook
Sheets = wkbk.Sheets;
% Moves Sheet "1" to before sheet "2"
Sheets.Item('1').Move(Sheets.Item('2'))
Best Regards,
