Remarks

When specifying a chart sheet name, take into account the following constraints:

• A chart sheet name must not be equal to an existing name in the sheet collection (IWorkbook.Sheets).
• A chart sheet name must not exceed 31 characters.
• A chart sheet name must not contain the following symbols: , /, ?, : ,*, [ or ]
• A chart sheet name must not start and end with a single quote (‘).

If the name parameter is an empty string, a new chart sheet is created under the default name like ChartN, where N is a number that is greater by 1 than the maximum number used in chart sheet names of the same type. To change the chart sheet name, use the ChartSheet.Name property. Use the ChartSheet.Chart property to access a chart located on the chart sheet and fine-tune its settings and adjust the chart appearance.

To insert a new chart sheet to the specified position in the collection, use the ChartSheetCollection.Insert method.

To remove a chart sheet from the collection, use the ChartSheetCollection.Remove or ChartSheetCollection.RemoveAt method.
