Examples

## Create a new workbook
wb <- wb_workbook()

## Add a worksheet
wb$add_worksheet("Sheet 1")
## No grid lines
wb$add_worksheet("Sheet 2", grid_lines = FALSE)
## A red tab color
wb$add_worksheet("Sheet 3", tab_color = wb_color("red"))
## All options combined with a zoom of 40%
wb$add_worksheet("Sheet 4", grid_lines = FALSE, tab_color = wb_color(hex = "#4F81BD"), zoom = 40)

## Headers and Footers
wb$add_worksheet("Sheet 5",
  header = c("ODD HEAD LEFT", "ODD HEAD CENTER", "ODD HEAD RIGHT"),
  footer = c("ODD FOOT RIGHT", "ODD FOOT CENTER", "ODD FOOT RIGHT"),
  even_header = c("EVEN HEAD LEFT", "EVEN HEAD CENTER", "EVEN HEAD RIGHT"),
  even_footer = c("EVEN FOOT RIGHT", "EVEN FOOT CENTER", "EVEN FOOT RIGHT"),
  first_header = c("TOP", "OF FIRST", "PAGE"),
  first_footer = c("BOTTOM", "OF FIRST", "PAGE")
)

wb$add_worksheet("Sheet 6",
  header = c("&[Date]", "ALL HEAD CENTER 2", "&[Page] / &[Pages]"),
  footer = c("&[Path]&[File]", NA, "&[Tab]"),
  first_header = c(NA, "Center Header of First Page", NA),
  first_footer = c(NA, "Center Footer of First Page", NA)
)

wb$add_worksheet("Sheet 7",
  header = c("ALL HEAD LEFT 2", "ALL HEAD CENTER 2", "ALL HEAD RIGHT 2"),
  footer = c("ALL FOOT RIGHT 2", "ALL FOOT CENTER 2", "ALL FOOT RIGHT 2")
)

wb$add_worksheet("Sheet 8",
  first_header = c("FIRST ONLY L", NA, "FIRST ONLY R"),
  first_footer = c("FIRST ONLY L", NA, "FIRST ONLY R")
)

## Need data on worksheet to see all headers and footers
wb$add_data(sheet = 5, 1:400)
wb$add_data(sheet = 6, 1:400)
wb$add_data(sheet = 7, 1:400)
wb$add_data(sheet = 8, 1:400)
