Thumbs up Answer: set area in excel not giving me option to set print area?

Hey there! I'm sorry to hear that you're having trouble setting the print area in Excel. Let's see if we can figure out what's going on.

First, make sure that you have the correct worksheet selected. Sometimes, if you have multiple worksheets in a workbook, the print area may be set on a different worksheet than the one you're currently viewing.

Next, try using the "Page Layout" tab instead of the "File" drop-down menu. Click on the "Page Layout" tab at the top of the screen, and then look for the "Print Area" button in the "Page Setup" section. Click on the "Print Area" button, and then select "Set Print Area" from the drop-down menu.

If that still doesn't work, you can try resetting the print area. To do this, select the cells that you want to include in the print area, and then click on the "Print Area" button again. This time, select "Clear Print Area" from the drop-down menu. Then, select the cells again and try setting the print area once more.

  2. Use the "Page Layout" tab instead of the "File" drop-down menu.

I hope that helps! Let me know if you have any other questions or if there's anything else I can do to assist you.
