How do I remove page numbers in Excel when printing?

Page numbers are added through headers and footers. To remove them:

Method 1 — Through Page Setup

1. Page Layout tab
2. Click the small arrow in the corner of the Page Setup group
3. Header/Footer tab
4. In the dropdowns, select (none) for both header and footer
5. Click OK

Method 2 — Through Page Layout View

1. Insert tab → Header & Footer
2. Click in the header/footer area
3. Delete the contents (page number, text)
4. Click outside the header/footer

Check Before Printing

Press Ctrl+P and look at the preview — page numbers should be gone.

Per-Sheet Setting

Header/footer settings apply to each sheet individually. If your workbook has multiple sheets, repeat for each one.
