Printing a graph in Excel can be a useful skill for presenting data visually. This guide provides step-by-step instructions to efficiently print your charts and graphs from Excel spreadsheets.
While Excel offers various options for chart creation and printing, we'll also explore how using Sourcetable can simplify the process even further.
How to Print a Graph in Excel
To print a graph in Excel, simply click on the graph and press CTRL + P. This action will initiate the printing process for the selected graph.
When a Graph Won't Print
If you encounter issues with printing your graph, check if the sheet is protected. Unprotecting the sheet or changing the chart area format can resolve this issue. Should you not have the password for a protected graph, copy the graph and paste it as a picture into another document to print.
Print Settings Adjustments
Note that chart sizes may appear differently when printed versus on screen. To match your printout with what's on screen, you may need to adjust print settings or temporarily disable print areas.
Printing Workarounds
For large data sets, break down the data range into smaller sections and print each as a separate chart. This will maintain the detail level for each printed chart.
