What is Page Layout in Excel?

In page layout we set up the page of Excel.

Before you print a Microsoft Office Excel worksheet that contains a large amount of data or multiple charts, you can quickly fine-tune it in the Page Layout view to achieve professional-looking results. As in Normal view, you can change the layout and format of data, but in addition, you can use the rulers to measure the width and height of the data, change the page orientation, add or change page headers and footers, set margins for printing, hide or display gridlines, row and column headings, and specify scaling options. When you finish working in Page Layout view, you can return to Normal view.

 Note   Although Page Layout view is indispensable for many layout tasks that prepare your data for printing, you should use Page Break Preview view to adjust page breaks, and Print Preview view to see how your data will look when it is printed. For more information, see the topics Insert, move, or delete page breaks in a worksheet and Preview worksheet pages before printing.
