You can achieve this by THIS IS DONE BY

 $objPHPExcel = new PHPExcel();
 $objPHPExcel->getProperties()->setCreator("creater");
 $objPHPExcel->getProperties()->setLastModifiedBy("Middle field");
 $objPHPExcel->getProperties()->setSubject("Subject");
 $objWorkSheet = $objPHPExcel->createSheet();
 $work_sheet_count=3//number of sheets you want to create
 $work_sheet=0;
 while($work_sheet<=$work_sheet_count){ 
     if($work_sheet==0){
         $objWorkSheet->setTitle("Worksheet$work_sheet");
         $objPHPExcel->setActiveSheetIndex($work_sheet)->setCellValue('A1', 'SR No. In sheet 1')->getStyle('A1')->getFont()->setBold(true);
         $objPHPExcel->setActiveSheetIndex($work_sheet)->setCellValueByColumnAndRow($col++, $row++, $i++);//setting value by column and row indexes if needed
     }
     if($work_sheet==1){
         $objWorkSheet->setTitle("Worksheet$work_sheet");
         $objPHPExcel->setActiveSheetIndex($work_sheet)->setCellValue('A1', 'SR No. In sheet 2')->getStyle('A1')->getFont()->setBold(true);
         $objPHPExcel->setActiveSheetIndex($work_sheet)->setCellValueByColumnAndRow($col++, $row++, $i++);//setting value by column and row indexes if needed
     }
     if($work_sheet==2){
         $objWorkSheet = $objPHPExcel->createSheet($work_sheet_count);
         $objWorkSheet->setTitle("Worksheet$work_sheet");
         $objPHPExcel->setActiveSheetIndex($work_sheet)->setCellValue('A1', 'SR No. In sheet 3')->getStyle('A1')->getFont()->setBold(true);
         $objPHPExcel->setActiveSheetIndex($work_sheet)->setCellValueByColumnAndRow($col++, $row++, $i++);//setting value by column and row indexes if needed
     }
     $work_sheet++;
 }

$filename='file-name'.'.xls'; //save our workbook as this file name header('Content-Type: application/vnd.ms-excel'); //mime type header('Content-Disposition: attachment;filename="'.$filename.'"'); //tell browser what's the file name header('Cache-Control: max-age=0'); //no cache

        $objWriter = PHPExcel_IOFactory::createWriter($objPHPExcel, 'Excel5');
        $objWriter->save('php://output');
