Centering a Title in Excel

Merging and Centering for Excel Titles

To center a title in Excel using the merge and center method, select the cells above your data where you want the title to appear. Click the 'Merge & Center' button on the Home tab. This method is not recommended for raw data as it can affect data sorting and filtering.

Center Across Selection Method

An alternative to merging cells is to use 'Center Across Selection'. Select the cells for your title, right-click and choose 'Format Cells', then go to the Alignment tab. Under the 'Horizontal' drop-down menu, select 'Center Across Selection'. This method keeps individual cells intact.

Excel Chart Title Alignment

For Excel charts, chart titles are centered by default. However, if you need to manually adjust the title, click on the chart title to select it and then click 'Merge & Center' on the Home tab for manual alignment.

Printing Worksheet Titles

To print titles on worksheets, go to the Page Layout tab, select 'Print Titles', and then use the 'Header/Footer' tab to center your title as desired before printing.
