Why the Header Prints on Each Page
A repeating row prints on each page because Excel treats it as a fixed print title. Print titles remain visible across all pages to preserve context and readability.
What Happens When You Use Multiple Header Rows?
Multiple header rows print on every page because Excel accepts a row range for repeating titles. A range such as $1:$3 prints all included rows on each page.
What If the Print Area Is Set Incorrectly?
A header row fails to print on each page when the print area excludes the header. Adjust the print area by removing or redefining it through Page Layout > Print Area > Clear Print Area.
If you want, I can help you set column titles, footer information, or page numbering for consistent formatting.
