R: List all sheets in an excel spreadsheet

excel_sheets {readxl} | R Documentation

## List all sheets in an excel spreadsheet

### Description

The list of sheet names is especially useful when you want to iterate over all of the sheets in a workbook. The `vignette("readxl-workflows")` article provides several worked examples of this, showing how to combine readxl with other packages in the tidyverse, such as purrr, or with base R functions like `lapply()`.

### Usage

    excel_sheets(path)

### Arguments

`path` | Path to the xls/xlsx file.

### Examples

    excel_sheets(readxl_example("datasets.xlsx"))
    excel_sheets(readxl_example("datasets.xls"))

    # To load all sheets in a workbook, use lapply()
    path <- readxl_example("datasets.xls")
    lapply(excel_sheets(path), read_excel, path = path)
