Steps to Copy Worksheet to Another Workbook in Python

  1. step1: “Establish the development environment to use Aspose.Cells for Python via Java
  2. Load the input Workbook from which sheet is to be copied
  3. Create an empty destination workbook where Worksheet is to be copied
  4. Get access to the default worksheets collection in the destination workbook
  5. Use the Sheet.copy() method to copy a sheet from the source workbook
  6. Save the output Excel file on the disk containing a duplicate sheep from the source workbook

These steps describe the process to duplicate a sheet in Excel in Python where first the source workbook is opened and an empty new workbook is also created that contains a default worksheet collection having a single worksheet in it. Using this single default worksheet in the newly created destination workbook, the copy() method is called that takes a worksheet object as an argument. Here we provide the target worksheet from the source workbook as an argument that causes the copying of the worksheet from the source to the destination workbook.
