Print Continuous Page Numbers Across Sheet Tabs in Google Sheets

Are you struggling to print continuous page numbers across multiple sheet tabs in Google Sheets? In Excel, it’s a breeze to select multiple sheets, but Google Sheets doesn’t offer this option. Don’t worry, though! I’ve got a solution for you within the print setup itself. Let me walk you through the steps to print continuous page numbers across sheet tabs in Google Sheets.

Print Settings to Print Continuous Page Numbers Across Sheets

1. Open the spreadsheet you want to print, ensuring that you are online on the sheet.
2. Go to the FILE menu and click Print.
3. On the print settings panel on the right-hand side of your screen, select “Workbook” below “Print”.
4. Under “Selection”, choose “All sheets” if you want to print the entire workbook. Otherwise, select the individual tabs you want and click “Apply”.

That’s it! You’ve completed the important steps to print continuous page numbers across sheet tabs in Google Sheets. Now, let’s move on to the additional tips for inserting page X of Y.

Additional Tips – Inserting Page X of Y

By default, Google Sheets inserts sequential numbers as page numbers. However, if you want to format the page numbers to display as “page X of Y,” follow these steps:

1. Take note of the total number of pages in the top bar. This number will vary depending on the pages you print.
2. Under “Headers and footers” in the Print settings (as mentioned in step 5 above), click the blue link “EDIT CUSTOM FIELDS” within the right-side panel.

3. In the print preview, click on the page number in headers or footers and set the format to page [PageA] of 3 (replace 3 with the total number of pages you noted in step 1).

In the print output of your Google Sheets, you will now see the pages numbered as “page X of Y.” Isn’t that fantastic?

That’s all you need to know about adding continuous page numbers and formatting them across sheet tabs in Google Sheets. Now, go ahead and try it out for yourself. Enjoy the convenience of page numbers across your sheets!
