Why does activate excel sheet 2 via ACTXSERVER return an error ?

2 views (last 30 days)
I am trying to activate sheet 2 of excel by using actserver, but it will return an error when I run my code. Can anyone explain what I had did wrong for my code?
your explaination will be greatly appreciated. My code is as below
e= actxserver('excel.application');
% Insert a new workbook.
eWorkbook = e.Workbooks.Add;
e.Visible = 1;
% Make the sheet active.
eSheets = e.ActiveWorkbook.Sheets;
eSheet1 = eSheets.get('Item', 2); % Want to edit 2nd sheet in workbook
eSheet1.Activate;
% Below is the error shown
% Error using Interface.Microsoft_Excel_16.0_Object_Library.Sheets/get
% Invoke Error, Dispatch Exception: Invalid index.
Besides, i am trying to write a set of data to excel with my own layout (merged cell, border line, colomn color), can I know where can I get the example or tutorial to use actxserver to write data to excel? Thanks in advance.
Regards, Lily

At the moment as outside observers, we do not know that the workbook has more than 1 sheet after the Add is done.
