Many people use Excel to generate forms that will be printed off and carried around on a sheet of paper, because the boxes and lines are nice and square, and straight, Word is not so co-operative
There have been lots of queries how to auto-number such forms, so that you can later file or issue them in a particular order, or use the numbers later as a reference doing other stuff.
Here's what I want to do:
I run a limousine service taking clients from places like hotels to various destinations
I have a little travel voucher form, to be filled by hand, 3 copies to a sheet, so we are gonna print them, and cut the page into 3 lil vouchers. Like printing lottery or competition tickets. The vouchers have artwork to suit the place requesting my service.
They are NOT invoices, to be opened, numbered, worked on, and THEN printed
Cell G2 will start autonumbering at 1001, Cell G18 would be 1002, Cell G34 would be 1003, then when the second page prints, we get 1004, 1005, and 1006 respectively. Each sheet has to be individually cut and stacked
Alternately, we decide a quantity to print (50) and start G18 at say 1050 and G34 at 1101. This would be better, because when cutting the paper up with a guillotine, the first 50 vouchers are already in number order, the 2nd 50 get stacked under them, and finally the 3rd 50 below that, so now my stack of vouchers runs from 1001 to 1150 nice and easy and neat
A drawback with this is that I have to do specific print runs and somewhere in the document, specify the starting number for G2
I have heard of a method to print, say 20 forms, starting say, 1001, ending 1020 and a text file saves the last number used, so the next print run picks up from there, at 1021, can that method be combined in? I'm working in a small office that needs these vouchers but we dont wanna have a commercial printshop tool up (big $) to do small print runs
I can also do the vouchers for other suppliers to use with different artwork
I have created a bill of lading form that we use in shipping. Each time they need a new form, they copy the "blank" form. Is there any way to have these forms "auto-number"?
Would it be possible to have a unique number appear on every indivually printed sheet?
My worksheet in Excel fits onto one sheet of paper and I would like a unique number to appear whenever I print, even after closing system and re-opening file at a later date (the last printed sheet is 'remembered' so the next printed sheet is the next number in sequence).
So the first time I print a batch of say 100 I would have 100 x identical pages EACH with a unique number, i.e., '0001' to '0100'. The next time I print another 50 say, I would have '0101' to '0150' and so on.
My company started using preprinted forms to print out delivery receipts with a dot matrix printer. We only need to print 2 pieces of data on this form at specific places, then move onto a new form and print the next 2 pieces of info. Ive tried searching and haven't found anything remotely related to this situation.
Essentially, we will have a spreadsheet with 2 columns with cells containing stock codes eg: StockA1 StockB1 StockA2 StockB2 etc
The number of rows will vary, one week may be 20 rows of info, the next may be 76 rows.
I need to be able to take the info in each row, and send it to the printer so that it prints in the right place of the form, and move onto the next row/page until all rows have been printed.
Currently, I have a spreadsheet with a bunch of empty rows, 2 rows where the info needs to be, then more empty rows followed by the next 2 items, empty rows etcetc...As you can imagine this could require some tedious reworking week after week as the number of forms to be printed changes each week.
There has to be a better way to do this! I havent got the experience of working with excel (or dot matrix printers)
I have created a form to input parking ticket data to a spreadsheet, it all works exactly as i want it to, but i really need it to tell me the next available number or empty line, so i can use that for filing and audit purposes, ideally i would like it to do sequential numbering, but i've been looking for weeks and cant find a soloution, i have basic knowledge of VBA and i'm really struggling with this,
I would like to know if there is a way to Auto number a text. I have a column with text tags (lets say Column B). These cells look at a specific cell (ex. A1) and see what text is written in it then copy the text into their own cells B1, B2, B3 and so on. So if cell A1 reports AAA then Column B cells become AAA all the way down. Now what I like to do is for column B cells look at A1, copy the text and add _01 infront of their copied text. so for Column B, B1 reports AAA_01, B2 is AAA_02, B3 is AAA_03 and so on
i have formulas in a range L5:L15 which sometimes return some value and sometimes zero. i want to give them auto numbers in column M in a way that it should only count the cell which has some value. suppose formula in L5 returns some value, L6 also then L7 & L8 have no value(but formula persists), cell L9, L10, L11 has values then L12 has no value L13, L14 has value and L15 has no value (but it has formula in it) values in these cells changes and some goes to zero and some return values. now i want to give them Auto Numbers in a way that cells with some value should only be considered.
Is there some feature that lets you auto number cells? IE (1-20) Instead of me having to manually type in 1-20 in each cell or making my own formula up to do it.
I have a form that I use often, but numbering is slow because I go in and number the form, print, go back and put in next number, print, etc. Is there a macro or formula that will automatically update the consecutive numbers when I enter or print?
I want to create a template in Excel for a change order system. Every time I have a new change order I want it to be numbered. I want Excel to automatically keep a log of all the changes orders to date with change order number, date, title, etc.
After applying subtotal function based on city, i have blocks of data with subtotals at different places. if i want separate numbering starting at 1 for each range , what i have to da. at present i am doing it manually ...
I have just successfully added a code to Visual Basic in order for it to insert a sequential number automatically upon opening the worksheet. It works great, but how do I restart the numbering now that I know it works?
I have a requirement where, in one of the column i would like to have an auto numbering (similar to Microsoft access). I know this can be done using Macros, but is there any other better alternative.
Looking for a way to print out a worksheet with auto number while printing. The worksheet does not have a header or a footer and contains needed information.
In excel sheet some times I highlight Cells, Rows or Columns for references but while printing these highlights get printed. is there any formatting tip so that only values are printed but highlights don't get printed (not even in grey scale).
My spreadsheet is a dual purpose spreadsheet, it is my printable catalog of product offerings as well as my worksheet for my cost and my cost markup. I have apx 2500 rows of product offerings.
My question -I would like to be able to print my catalog without my cost markup columns being printed. It is not practical for me to hide the column, then print, then unhide the column again every time I want to print out my catalog. I would like the columns to always be visible, but just not print.
The following code works fine except when the sheet1 gets printed then its blank but in actual the sheet1 has got some information in it. SO why its printing a blank page.
I have this question for indentifying the last row (number) for each and every page to be printed.
As I am using a loop to determine the last row of the table in each print page, I am only able to do in "hard coded". And with this "hard-coded" row number, I can set bordering to the table so that table will not be printed without any border (for in between pages if table is more than a page)
But the problem is that I had discovered that once any other user start using wrap text, or even change the row height, the macro will still captures the pre-determined no. of rows to do the bordering (as shown in my code).
In my, I had restricted the zoom size so that the quotation will always be the same format. Hence, based on this control zoom, the printable page changes if the row height changes too.
Is there a way to 'lock' a page from being changed once it has been printed? It can be printed multiple times but want it to not be able to be edited once it has been printed. Thinking I could have a control button on the page maybe and once it has been checked ok to print then click the button and it saves it as is and uneditable?
We have some reports on multiple worksheets. We need to ensure a legend/definition sheet is printed whenever one or several of the worksheets are printed. Is it possible to mandate a worksheet to be printed along w/ whatever else is being printed?
I have spent some time looking through the forum and even looked at Microsoft Excel help file and cannot seem to get exactly what I need. I have worksheets that I found the code on this site that I can put page breaks every so many rows. I have it set for 26 so it will break for every 25 counting the header. Here is the
Sub PageBreaks() For I = 27 To 760 Step 25
ActiveSheet.HPageBreaks.Add Before:= Range("A" & I) Next I End Sub
The problem I am having is when I print the first page it has the headers in them, for example.
LastName, FirstName, StuID, GrdLvl
How can I get a row placed right after each page break with with the column headers so each sheet I print will have the headers with the 25 rows of informatio. But then not be there after I print so If I need to sort I won't have a problem with all the headers.
I have a worksheet which has two large tables. When one table flows onto another page, the users need to see the title i.e. Header of that table. How can I do this?
