NikolinoDE Thanks for your suggestions. That said, I know how to do that. What I'm looking for is a way to have new page breaks entered automatically at every empty row in a sheet. I believe it might be called conditional formatting.

As far as I know, you can't do this with conditional formatting.

Anyway, let me but love to disabuse.
Since the digital environment (Excel version, operating system, storage medium, etc.) was not specified, I recommend using VBA code with reservations.


Attached is an example code with empty rows.

 

Sub test()
BreakOnBlankLine range("A1:D188")
End Sub

Sub BreakOnBlankLine(bereich As range)
Dim anzSpalten%, anzLeerSpalten%, anzZeilen&, firstRow&, x&
anzSpalten = bereich.Columns.Count
anzZeilen = bereich.Rows.Count
bereich.Select
firstRow = ActiveCell.Row

ActiveSheet.ResetAllPageBreaks

For x = firstRow To anzZeilen
    If WorksheetFunction.CountBlank(range(Cells(x, ActiveCell.Column), Cells(x, anzSpalten))) = anzSpalten Then
        Cells(x, 1).Select
        ActiveWindow.SelectedSheets.HPageBreaks.Add Before:=ActiveCell
    End If
Next

End Sub

 

 

Hope I could help you with these information / VBA Code.
