  2. Run the command below. Save to a new output path so the source remains available for comparison.

Notes and limits

Writing an Office document uses one credit per command. See the billing guide for the current rules.

The examples keep the original file. Add --force only when you intend to overwrite an existing output. Run jetformat excel remove-sheet --help to compare options with your installed version.

See the excel command reference for the surrounding workflow.
