Custom Views - Excel
Different audiences may need to see different parts of your spreadsheet, or you may need to print only a section of data. From the original view, you can create and save multiple custom views that you can print and show to the appropriate audience. This article shows Excel 2016, but this process also works in Excel 2013 & 2010.
