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'.
