Renaming sheets

Come to think of it, "data_summary" is not an ideal name. As the summary of these excel sheets is always data-related, you simply want to name the sheet "summary".

The workspace already contains a workbook, my_book, that refers to an Excel file with 4 sheets: the three data sheets, and the "data_summary" sheet.

Exercise instructions

  • Use renameSheet() to rename the fourth sheet to "summary".
  • Next, call getSheets() on my_book to print out the sheet names.
  • Finally, make sure to actually save the my_book object to a new Excel file, "renamed.xlsx".
