Page margins in Excel are the blank spaces between the worksheet data and the edges of the printed page. It is where we could add headers, footers and page numbers, etc. Before printing a worksheet, it's necessary to specify custom margins for a better layout. In Excel, we could set top margin, bottom margin, left margin, right margin, header margin, and footer margin, which are all supported by Spire.XLS library. This article is going to introduce the method to set Excel page margins in C# using Spire.XLS.

sheet.PageSetup.LeftMargin = 0.2;
sheet.PageSetup.RightMargin = 1;
