How To Print Certain Cells In Excel

Jump to

    Printing specific cells in Excel can streamline the sharing of targeted data without exposing entire worksheets. This task requires knowledge of Excel's printing functions and the ability to define print areas.

    Efficiency in this process can greatly impact productivity, especially when dealing with large datasets or complex spreadsheets.

    Our guide simplifies these steps and will also explore why using Sourcetable is a more user-friendly option for printing selected cells.

    How to Print Specific Cells in Excel

    Printing specific cells in Excel can be achieved in several ways. Each method allows users to select particular cells for printing, ensuring that only the necessary data is printed. Mastering these methods can enhance your Excel proficiency.

    Set the Print Area

    To print specific cells, first designate a print area. This confines the printout to the cells you've selected. Navigate to the 'Page Layout' tab, choose 'Print Area' in the 'Page Setup' group, and select 'Set Print Area'.

    Use the Print Option

    Another method is utilizing the Print option. Access this by clicking 'File', then 'Print'. Choose 'Print Selection' after highlighting the cells you wish to print. This tailors the printout to your selected cells.

    Use the Print Titles Command

    The Print Titles command is useful for printing specific rows or columns on every page. Find this option under 'Page Layout', in the 'Page Setup' group. It's ideal for headers or footers that need to repeat across pages.
