Fixing rows for printing

Hello STL,
In Page Setup, Sheet in excel, it provides the option 'rows to repeat at top' in order to print the top rows on every page.
However, on some of the documents I've created in excel, the 'rows to repeat' box is there but greyed out so you can't click in it.
I've tried changing settings so that it prints on 2 pages (i.e. I haven't set it to print on just one page, in which case the greying out would be understandable as it wouldn't apply) and it still happens.
Can you tell me why and how I can resolve this, please?
Thanks,
Julia

RE: fixing rows for printing

Hi Julia

Thanks for getting in touch. The "Rows to repeat at top" option is a really handy one, but as you've found certain circumstances cause it to be greyed out.

If you get to Page Setup as part of the printing process, this will be greyed out. Try this instead: on the Page Layout tab, click Print Titles. You should be able to get to the window now.

I hope this helps.

Kind regards

That's great, thanks Gary!

Excel tip:

Stop Formula Returning A "#DIV/0" Error

If a formula returns a #DIV/0 error message there is a way to avoid such results.

For example the formula =A1/B1 will return a #DIV/0 if B1 is empty or a zero.

If you protect your formulas with the ISERROR function, the formula will then look like this:

=IF(ISERROR(A1/B1),0,A1/B1)

In plain English: should the result of A1 divided by B1 be an error change the result to 0 else show the result of A1/B1.
