Print two arbitrary excel worksheets as one page, double-sided

I have an Excel file. It contains several worksheets (ex: A, B, C, D ...). Each worksheet prints on one page in the same orientation.



How do I quickly print any two of these worksheets (ex: A & C, B & C, etc.) as a single page, double-sided?



If I ctrl select the two worksheet tabs and print, Excel will print just those 2 selected worksheets, but they print as separate pages even when the double-sided print option from the Excel print screen is set.

    if you can't manage to work it directly from Excel, try to export to pdf first.

  • Did you try to Ctrl select the two worksheets, open a new document, paste there and print? Else I suppose you can overcame with a little macro.

  • Ctrl select worksheets (holding Ctrl and clicking on the worksheet tabs) and then copy them to single new worksheet? I tried and did not work. So far, export to PDF seems to be the easiest way.

There is a solution, following the @MatheJuhasz comment:






  1. Select the sheets you would like to print by holding CTRL and
    clicking on individual worksheets.


  2. Save those as a .pdf (File->Save as ... -> Save at type:PDF)


  3. Print .pdf on both sides, as usually.





Tadaaaa!!! :)
