## Properties

### Common

* **DisplayName** - The name displayed for the activity in the Designer panel.

### Input

* **File** - The full path of the resource workbook. To switch to a local path, select the plus icon, and then **Use Local File**. The current field changes to **File (local path)**, where you can provide the full path of the workbook.
* **Sheet Name** - The name of the sheet to delete. This field is required.

### Options

* **Password** - The password of the workbook, if necessary.

### Use Workbook

* **Workbook** - The existing workbook to use instead of a file path.

## Notes

The activity fails with an error in the following cases:

* The sheet does not exist.
* The sheet is the only sheet in the workbook. A workbook must always have at least one sheet.
* Deleting the sheet would leave the workbook without a visible sheet, for example, when you delete the last visible sheet and all the other sheets are hidden. Excel cannot open a workbook that has no visible sheet.
