Modifying worksheets and workbooks
Djeeni can perform the MS Excel workbook and worksheet manipulation operations.
Creating a new workbook
Use the Wbook New process step (under the Workbook category on the Process Toolbar). Tips to fill out the parameters
- It is not necessary to type the physical location of the workbook. Double click on the WBook New name in column A and use the Browse button in the popup window to select the containing folder.
- Workbooks will be created with one worksheet. This one worksheet can be a normal empty worksheet or can contain a template from another file.
- The Djeeni name will identify the only worksheet in it and not the workbook.
- It is not compulsory to give a Djeeni name to the new workbook. If there is no name given then the workbook will not be accessible by the Djeeni process. But this is really OK if you want to create just a series of 'empty' workbooks based on a template.
- Djeeni can check if the workbook to be created already exists or not and prevent accidental overwriting. Set the Workbook action parameter accordingly (see also Using Worksheets).
- If you do not give an MS Excel name to your worksheet it will be named 'Sheet1'
Renaming a workbook
Djeeni can rename or move your workbook with the WBook Rename process step (under the Workbook category on the Process Toolbar). Tips to fill out the parameters:
- The workbook can be moved to another folder with this operation.
- The file extension can not be changed
- You can specify 'Overwrite' in Options if you allow overwriting an existing file.

Djeeni can add a new worksheet next to an already used worksheet. Use the Wsheet Add process step (under category Worksheet on the Process Toolbar).
Renaming a worksheet
