Data Entry or Format Multiple Worksheets Simultaneously in Excel

Are you tired of spending endless hours formatting your Excel documents or entering the same data on each worksheet? The good news is that you no longer have to waste time doing the same thing over and over again.

When dealing with multiple worksheets in Excel, the first step before performing Excel analysis is to make sure that the formatting is correct. You can emulate the title and settings of the initial worksheet and then paste them into the remaining worksheet.

Supposing you intend to insert the same heading text in each of your worksheets. A common method to achieve this is to insert content into one worksheet and then transfer and replicate the text into the corresponding worksheet.

However, this method becomes ineffective and inapplicable if you are working with a large number of worksheets, say, dozens or more. An efficient way to manage a large number of worksheets is to enter the text that is used together and simultaneously use uniform formatting across sheets.

Using this simple technique, you can format and insert multiple sheets simultaneously by selecting all of them.

Inserting and Formatting Multiple Sheets Simultaneously

Excel allows users to enter information and apply the same style to multiple worksheets without the need to manually retype or duplicate text on each sheet.

1] Select and Group Worksheets

If you have many similar worksheets, the first step is to group the worksheets you want to handle. You can use one of the methods below to create a group from a range of sheets.

select worksheet
  • To select adjacent sheets, click the first sheet tab, hold down the SHIFT key, and click the last sheet tab.
  • To select nonadjacent sheets, hold down the CTRL key and click the tab of each sheet that you want to include in the group.
  • To select all sheets in a workbook, right-click any sheet tab and click the “Select All Sheets” command.

To ungroup sheets, select a tab that belongs to another group. Instead, you have the option to select the Ungroup Sheets command from the shortcut menu by simply right-clicking on one of the group tabs.

2] Worksheet Entry and Format

Once the worksheets are gathered together, there are various methods you can use. To insert information into all related worksheets, first, click one of the grouped worksheets to activate it. Then, select the cells you want to modify and proceed to enter text. After pressing Enter, the same text will be filled in all interconnected Excel sheets in corresponding cells.

Multiple Worksheets

To apply formatting to cells across all grouped worksheets, just enable one of the grouped sheets, select the cells you want to format, and then apply the formatting. Excel simultaneously formats identical cells across all grouped sheets.

To generate a consistent 3D range across multiple worksheets, just activate one of the merged sheets and select the range to select. Excel selects identical cells in all remaining sheets in the group.
