Repeating Rows and Column on a Print Out

When your Excel table spans more than one printed page, you can repeat the rows or columns (that serve as headings) on the subsequent printed pages. On this table

Repeatrow1

I’ve added some manual page breaks to simulate a large table. To show the months across the top of every page and the regions across the left of every page, use the Sheet tab under File > Page Setup.

Repeatrow2

Page 4 of this print out looks like this without any rows or columns repeating.

Repeatrow3

And the same page looks like this after the changes to File > Page Setup > Sheet

Repeatrow4

    Hi

    I found some answers to a few problems I was having with Excel on your site. Thanks.

    I was wondering if you could help me with this one…

    I am using “Print_Titles” Name feature to repeat several rows at the top of each printed page. Is there another Name for selecting several rows that you would like to repeat at the bottom of each printed page?

    Thanks for any help you can give.

    RP.

    Rod,
    Excel has no built-in feature to repeat rows at bottom on each printed page.
    Also, it is not easy to write the VBA code necessary to accomplish it.
    I have a commercial Excel add-in “Special Print” that will do it.
    (with a subtotals option)
