Use Worksheet object and not Sheet object

Plenty of VBA users consider Worksheets and Sheets objects synonyms. They are not.

Sheets object consists of both Worksheets and Charts. Thus, if we have charts in our Excel Workbook, we should be careful, not to use Sheets and Worksheets as synonyms.

enter image description here

Option Explicit
Sub CheckWorksheetsDiagram()
Debug.Print Worksheets(1).Name
Debug.Print Charts(1).Name
Debug.Print Sheets(1).Name
End Sub

The result:

Sheet1
Chart1
Chart1
