How can I print a selected range of cells in Numbers, if the "Select" option only applies to sheets?

I want to print a selected range of Cells,

On the option 'Select", is explained that this is only for sheets but not for selected range of Cells

It is not a feature of Numbers to print a range of cells. The smallest unit is the entire sheet, or a page of the sheet if it is too big to print on one piece of paper. Buit you can do this:


Select the cells you want to print

  1. Copy
  2. Start the Preview app
  3. File->New from Clipboard (or Command N)
  4. Print


It will paste into Preview as a vector (?) image of the cells, not a fixed resolution raster image, so it will print out nicely. But it will be centered on the page; there is no page layout capability.


The "Numbers way" to print out a range of cells is to either have those cells in a separate table on a separate sheet so you can print them alone or have a table on a separate sheet that pulls in the data using formulas and print that table.
