Listing 11.12 Making the Header Row Repeat on Every Printed Sheet
As can be seen in Figure 11.8, setting up the print settings has been automated,
saving users a few seconds, because now they don’t have to make the settings
manually. Each time saving on its own may not seem like much, but if you multiply
this by the number of users and by the number of reports printed, then the
savings quickly add up.

11.2.4 Using Conditional Formatting
There are a lot of ways you can use conditional formatting; a basic example and a
more advanced example are discussed next.
Basic
Sometimes, when you look at a spreadsheet, you are looking only for rows that
are unusual in some way (i.e., managing by exception). A way to draw people’s
attention to the guilty rows on a spread sheet is to use conditional formatting to
color in cells with unusual values.
In this example, yo u will color in the Monster Strength column so that if the
monster is strong, then the cell is green; if it’s weak, then the cell is red; otherwise,
the cell is yellow. First, determine which column is the strength column in
your spreadsheet (column E in this example). Set this as a constant to avoid hardcoding
anything; see Listing 11.13.
