Hi fellow Excel Addict,
 
It had to come to an end eventually. After a beautiful Autumn, today Mother Nature got nasty in eastern Newfoundland.

This morning we woke up to a snowfall...

...then it rained and melted all the snow...

...then the wind picked up (80-110 km/h) and the house has been shaking all afternoon and evening.

Oh well. Less than six weeks away from the first day of winter. I'd better get used to it.

THIS WEEK'S 'EXCEL IN MINUTES' TIP

 
Print Report Heading on First Page and Only Column Headings on All Other Pages

Most people who have been using Excel for more than 6 months have probably figured out how to print the top rows of a worksheet on each page. That's because when they create their first report that has more than one page of data, one of the first questions they ask is "How do I print my column headings at the top of every page?".

The rows that you print at the top of each page are called the 'Print Titles'.

To set your Print Title rows, from the Page Layout tab, click the Print Titles command. In the Page Setup dialog, click in the 'Rows to repeat at top' box, then click and drag in your worksheet to select the rows you want to print at the top of each page.

Your report may have 3 or more rows above your 'data'. Let's call this the 'report heading'. This report heading may consist of one or more title rows for the report, a blank separator row and then a row containing the column headings for your data below.

When you print your report, this 'report heading' prints at the top of every page. Very often, this is exactly what you want.

However, sometimes when you print a report, printing the entire 'report heading' on EVERY page isn't necessary. If you have a large report, printing the report heading on every page will contribute to the size (# of pages) of your final printed report.

If the last row of your report heading contains the column headings for your data, that may be all that the reader of your report needs to see on subsequent pages.

Many Excel users don't know that when you select the Print Titles to print at the top of every page, you do not have to include all of the top rows of your worksheet.

I'm going to show you an easy trick you can use to print the full report heading (e.g. rows 1-5) on the first page and only the column headings (e.g. row 5) on all other pages.

1) Select the area of your spreadsheet that you want to print, including the report heading, then on the Page Layout tab click Print Area, Set Print Area;

2) Next, from the Page Layout tab click the Print Titles command;

3) Click in the 'Rows to repeat at top' box, then click to select only the row (or rows) containing your column titles only (e.g. row 5);

Now, when you print your report, the report heading (rows 1-5) will print only on the first page and the column headings (row 5) will print as print Titles on all subsequent pages.
