Set Rows to Repeat at Top of Multiple Worksheets

If you right click on a worksheet in Excel, you'll be able to 'Select All Sheets' and perform many editing tasks on all worksheets simultaneously. However, under Page Layout . . . Page Setup . . .on the Sheet tab, you will not be able to enter a range in the Print titles section for, "Rows to repeat at top" - it is grayed out, disabled. This setting makes column headers in one or more rows, repeat on each page of a worksheet printed to a PDF or hard copy.

Gord Dibben posted Visual Basic code here which will allow you to designate a range of rows to be entered in the "Rows to repeat at top" field on all worksheet.

Press ALT + F11 to enter Visual Basic and enter the below vba code in a new module [right click on the workbook name in the project list and select Insert . . . Module]. Designate the rows on the line which begins, "ws.PageSetup.PrintTitleRows", preceding each row number with a dollar sign. Press play and the row range will be entered for each worksheet.

Sub test() Dim ws As Worksheet For Each ws In ActiveWorkbook.Sheets 'For Each ws In ActiveWindow.SelectedSheets If ws.Type = xlWorksheet Then ws.PageSetup.PrintTitleRows = "$1:$3" End If Next End Sub

Pull from the right until string found

If you have data in a column in Excel, and you just want to pull the information from the right of a particular string in a cell, try this formula:

=TRIM(RIGHT(SUBSTITUTE(A2,"Street",REPT(" ",LEN(A2))),LEN(A2)))

In this example, A2 is the cell you're pulling from, and Street is the delimiter string.

Wildcard search for a string of numbers

You can use a MATCH formula to find where a string of numbers appears inside any one of a long list of numbers. The array formula will return the number of the row in an array where the first instance of the string appears.

In this example, we search for the number string in cell G1, by adding wildcard asterisks before and after it in the MATCH formula. Then we enter the range to search in followed by zero in the nested TEXT formula. The TEXT formula converts the numbers to text, otherwise the wildcard search could not be run on the numbers.

This is an array formula so be sure to press CTRL + SHIFT when entering it in the cell. The formula returns the number of the row in the range where the searched for string, 88, appears the first time - the long order number - 542978809.
