sheet_rename function

Rename a (work)sheet

Changes the name of a (work)sheet.

sheet_rename(ss, sheet = NULL, new_name)

Arguments

• ss: Something that identifies a Google Sheet:

  • its file id as a string or drive_id

  • a URL from which we can recover the id

  • a one-row dribble, which is how googledrive represents Drive files

  • an instance of googlesheets4_spreadsheet, which is what gs4_get()

    returns

  Processed through as_sheets_id().

• sheet: Sheet to rename, in the sense of "worksheet" or "tab". You can identify a sheet by name, with a string, or by position, with a number. Defaults to the first visible sheet.

• new_name: New name of the sheet, as a string. This is required.

Returns

The input ss, as an instance of sheets_id

Examples

ss <- gs4_create(
  "sheet-rename-demo",
  sheets = list(cars = head(cars), chickwts = head(chickwts))
)
sheet_names(ss)

ss %>%
  sheet_rename(1, new_name = "automobiles") %>%
  sheet_rename("chickwts", new_name = "poultry")

# clean up
gs4_find("sheet-rename-demo") %>%
  googledrive::drive_trash()
