All the more reason for you to learn how to set the print area in Google Sheets. 

So, without further ado, let’s get going!

4 Simple Steps to Set Print Area in Google Sheets

The following listed are 4 simple steps you can follow to set the print area in your Google Sheets. 

Step 1: Structure Your Data

The print area usually refers to the cells in the sheet you want to print. 

So, if you are planning to print data from the sheet, it's best to structure or format the data before doing so. This way, you can make sure that the printed data is useful for internal and external purposes. 

Step 2: Select What You Want to Print

Start by selecting or highlighting the cells you want to print. Once that’s done, click on the printer icon in the Google Sheets tool and change the print field to Selected Cells. 

You can make further formatting changes in the print preview window. 

Now that you have set what you want to print, you can either select the printer you want to use or save it as a PDF file for later. 

Step 3: Change What You Want to Print

It’s possible that the data you want to print is not in one place. In fact, these data can be spread across multiple tabs within the sheet. In such cases, what you can do is change your settings on the print menu. 

By default, it will be showing - Current Sheet. You can either keep that or print the entire workbook by selecting - Workbook - in the print dropdown menu. 

Step 4: Customization

So far, we have discussed selecting what you want to print from Google Sheets. Now, let’s have a look at how you can print. 

You can format or customize how your cells, sheets, or workbooks appear when printed. In addition, you can adjust the elements like paper size, insert a header/footer, and change the alignment of the sheet on Google Sheets as well.
