Hi, Manish,

Thank you for sharing this additional input.
We understand your point regarding the CodeName property and agree that, similar to Excel’s native behavior, any worksheet newly created by the user should automatically receive a default, non-empty CodeName value. We also acknowledge the importance of maintaining uniqueness of the CodeName across the workbook, so that fetching this property for a newly added sheet does not return an empty string.
We will certainly take this into account during the implementation of the feature and evaluate how best to align the behavior with the Excel application’s default handling of worksheet CodeNames.

Hi Team, 

  Just wanted to add a new point that if a new sheet is created by the user then that specific worksheet should have CodeName property value set by itself as equivalent to that of Excel application. 

Since Codename property value has to be unique across the workbook, hence if a new sheet is created and if we try to fetch the CodeName property value of the new sheet, then it should give some default value rather than just givihng empty string.

Please ensure when the new sheet is added by the client from the UI the default value of the codeName property is empty string and user can set it 

And in case of existing worksheet the codeName property should be reserved of whatever it was set in the workbook earlier.

Again this property should be working for both Xls and Xlsx
