How to set print area to last row in Excel?
In Excel, by default, it will set the whole worksheet until the last row with data as print area. But in this case, I want to print from column A to column C until the last row with data as below screenshot shown, are there any ways to handle it?
Set print area to the last row with data by Print Selection
Set print area to the last row with data by VBA
Set print area to the last row with data by Print Selection
To print a selection to the last row with data, you can change the print area to the specified selection before printing.
1. Hold Ctrl key then select the columns you want to print. See screenshot:
2. Click File > Print, and then choose Print Selection from the Setting section. See screenshot:

Here I introduce a macro code to do this operation too.
1. Enable the sheet you use, press Alt + F11 keys to open Microsoft Visual Basic for Applications window, and click Insert > Module. See screenshot.
2. Paste below code to the Module script, and press F5 key to run.
VBA: Set Area to last row
'UpdatebyExtendoffice20170811
Dim xRg As Range
Dim xRgLRow As Long
Dim xRgAddress As String
On Error Resume Next
xRgAddress = ActiveWindow.RangeSelection.Address
Set xRg = Application.InputBox("Select a range：", "KuTools For Excel", xRgAddress, , , , , 8)
xRg.Select
xRgLRow = xRg.SpecialCells(xlCellTypeLastCell).Row
xRgAddress = Left(xRg.Address(1, 1), Len(xRg.Address(1, 1)) - 2)
xRgAddress = xRgAddress & xRgLRow
ActiveSheet.PageSetup.PrintArea = xRgAddress
End Sub
3. A dialog pops out to remind you to select column range you want to use. See screenshot:
4. Click OK, the print area has been set.
