How to print footer on the last page only in Excel?

Author Siluvia Last modified

By default, with the built-in "Header & footer" feature of Excel, you can easily add footers at the bottom of each printed page in a worksheet. If you want to add a footer to the last printed page only in a worksheet, how can you do? This tutorial provides a VBA script to help you accomplish this task step by step.

Print footer on the last page only with VBA code

Please run the following VBA code to print a custom footer on the last printed page only in Excel.

1. Open the worksheet that you want to print, and set a custom footer to appear on the last page only.

2. Press the "Alt" + "F11" keys to open the "Microsoft Visual Basic for Applications" window.

3. In the "Microsoft Visual Basic for Applications" window, click "Insert" > "Module". Then copy the following VBA code in the "Module (Code)" window.

VBA code: Print footer on the last page only

Sub SetFooterOnLastPage()
'Updated by Extendoffice 20221024
    Dim xCount As Long
    Dim xWSh
    xCount = Application.ExecuteExcel4Macro("GET.DOCUMENT(50)")
    Set xWSh = Application.ActiveSheet
    With Application.ActiveSheet
    .PageSetup.RightFooter = ""
        If xCount > 1 Then
            .PrintOut From:=1, To:=xCount - 1
        End If
            .PageSetup.RightFooter = "Type your footer information here"
            .PrintOut From:=xCount, To:=xCount
    End With
End Sub

Note: In the code, please replace this content "Type your footer information here" with your own footer information.

4. Press the "F5" key to run the code.

Then the active worksheet will be printed with the custom footer inserting on the last printed page only.
