Nancy knows how to format a worksheet so that rows are repeated at the top of each page of a printout. What she wants to do, however, is to have the rows repeated at the top of each printed page except the last one.
There is no direct way to do this, but you can simulate such a printing by using a macro to do the task. All you need to do is have the macro print all except your last page, then change the page setup so that rows are not repeated, and finally print the final page of the printout. The following macro provides an example of this approach.

ActiveSheet.PrintOut From:=lPages, To:=lPages
.PrintTitleRows = sTemp
End With

The problem with this approach is when you remove the repeating rows to print the last page it shifts all the data up as the repeating row is not longer taking up space. This causes the last past to be missing some of the rows from the spreadsheet.
What needs to be done is the code has to grab where the divider page break is for the last page printing, print the all pages but the last page, remove the repeating row, change the page break on the last page to the original position that it was before removing the repeating header row, then print the last page

Hi,
This is not working for me. On the last page of the document, the title row is not present (Yay!), but the first couple of rows are missing.
Thanks

How about export it in PDF? I've tried for printout, it works well. But I need the same for exporting to PDF in excel 2013.

Thanks for posting this. It's exactly what I was looking for and great for a VB newbie.
Got a version of Excel that uses the menu interface (Excel 97, Excel 2000, Excel 2002, or Excel 2003)? This site is for you! If you use a later version of Excel, visit our ExcelTips site focusing on the ribbon interface.
