Automatically Set Row Heights Before Printing
Dec 7, 2006
I have a program that generates a spreadsheet report. The programs output is sloppy so I am developing a macro to format it before printing. The spreadsheet creats a variable amount of records (one to several hundred) and each record has 3 rows.
The issue is; I don't know how to format the sheet so that each of the 3 rows has a specific width which would continue down consistantly for however many records are there?
I suppose I could simply format the entire sheet... but this seems clumsy :-)

Is there an option to have row heights set automatically based on the content of the text in the row, and given a specific column width?
I can right click, and set each row height individually.
I can select serveral rows stacked one on top of the other, each with limited text, and change all of those rows at the same time.
But when I select all rows, and try to change row height, the row height option is not there.

There's a spreadsheet containing 2 Sheets, lets'say Sheet1 and Sheet2.
The first one, Sheet1 contains raw data (imported from a database through SQL), hence there are no formulas in it.
This sheet contains among several columns, this one labeled "PC" (column G), non-sequenced numbers only (ex., 14014, 14015, 14019, 14113)
The second sheet is used for retrieving some other information from Sheet1, based on PC number, which is input on cell Sheet2!P15, for authorization purposes only.
The fact is that I have to input every PC number, one by one (14014, 14015, 14019...) then send it to printer one by one by every PC number entered.
In this example, type 14014 in P15, then print button; again, 14015, then print button, and so on.
I'm wondering if there's any way, by selecting some (not all) PC numbers from Sheet1 (even when filter is set on), to have these different pages (Sheet2) printed automatically after pressing this macro button.
An extra bonus would be the possibility (other macro, possibly) to generate one or several pdf files of this selection.

I'd like to set the print range based on the last row with text in specific columns. I found a couple of macros in this forum to adapt, but neither are working. Extra rows, which only contain conditional formatting, and other excluded rows and columns still print.
Private Sub Workbook_BeforePrint(Cancel As Boolean)
Dim MaxRow As Long, i As Integer
MaxRow = 1
For i = 1 To 6
Cells(65536, i).End(xlUp).Select
MaxRow = Application.WorksheetFunction.Max(MaxRow, ActiveCell.Row)
Next i
ActiveSheet.PageSetup.PrintArea = "$A$2:$F$" & MaxRow
End Sub
Private Sub Workbook_BeforePrint(Cancel As Boolean)
Dim LastRow As Long
LastRow = ActiveSheet.Columns("A:F"). Find(What:="*" _
, After:=[A1], SearchOrder:=xlByRows, SearchDirection:=xlPrevious).Row
ActiveSheet.PageSetup.PrintArea = "$A$2:$F$" & LastRow
End Sub

I've seen code to set the print area for a dynamic range. However, how can the print area be defined by these parameters:
A1 to one extra blank row below the last cell of data in column A (height), and
last column with data in row 12 (width).
Here is what I'm starting with...
Private Sub Workbook_BeforePrint(Cancel As Boolean)
ActiveSheet. Names.Add Name:="Print_Area", _
RefersTo:=Range(Range("A1"), _
Range("A1:IV65536"). Find(what:="*", searchorder:=xlByRows, searchdirection:=xlPrevious, after:=Range("A1")))
End Sub
I have copied formulas in other columns down beyond what the last row of col. A will be. Also, this will need to be applied to about 7 sheets in one book.

Using Excel 2003
I need to set row heights to 35 and 10 respectively for say 1000 rows. The macro I created to test a few rows only works on the specified ranges.
Sub Macro1() ....

This is probably something very simple, but I need to find a way to stop row heights expanding when text in a cell wraps. Basically, I have a spreadsheet of projects, and one column is for 'notes'. When the text in this column starts to wrap, Excel automatically increases the row height to make all the text visible - but I don't want that to happen.
I guess there's a button to press somewhere, but I can't find it!!!

*I have my document ordered hierarchically with group functions.
*Aesthetically I would like to have the font size get smaller the more levels into grouping they are.
*For aesthetic reasons I have merged cells rendering auto-fit useless as it auto-adjust to the first column's font size even if it has no characters in it
I find myself contemplating manually adjusting all 500 some rows of data.. probably by selecting ranges with ctrl or shift clicking my way through the document, grabbing ranges based on how high their grouping is, and adjusting the whole selected group at once, so they all have a uniform height setting.
Can I do some kind of conditional formating based on group level? like all group level 7 rows have a row height of X.

I would like to know if there is a way to print several different workbooks at once but keeping my printing format which I would like to be Landscape and Fit to one page. Reason is simple as I work in a office where staff is handed in several jobs to do everyday. They finish the jobs and log all the info on the database. I log on to database and put all their daily diaries and because it is all over the place I have to go in each file and set printing preferences which takes an hour in the morning and hour in the evening. I could do with some sort of automation where all diaries are automatically printed in Landscape and Fit on one page.

I have a report that is generated from a manufacturing process that looks like the example below. the report is 40 pages long when all the data is printed. i am looking for a way to only print this range if a dimension is "out of tolerance". if the dimension is within tolerance, there is always the "garbage" text of plus and minus. if every row is "within tolerance" in the range the cells in the OutTol column would all contain the "garbage" text but it will not always be identical. so, in summary, actual OutTol values = print and all "garbage" = not printed.
NomActDevLoTolUpTolOutTol
Y-0.956-0.9480.008-0.0030.0030.005

I am automating a paper form that collects information from 7 other paper forms and then prints out the results. I have created an excel spreadsheet to do this but I am having problems getting the printed output to match the print preview.
I have inserted an image of the form into the sheet header and aligned the cells on the sheet so that the information is in the correct position when previewed in "print preview".
The problem is that, although this will print correctly on the machine I created it on, it is misaligned on any other machine I have tried.

I have inserted checkboxes in an excel worksheet to turn on/off certain data. They are working just fine. But I have set them all to not print (by unselecting the checkbox that says "print" in the format dialogue). SOME of the checkboxes don't print, but most of them do. I can't figure out why.
I've attached the file so you can take a look.

I've noticed with a spreadsheet at work that if you print a sheet it also prints the other sheet.
The first sheet is the data and the second is a graph formed from this data.
Is there an options to set to do this or is because its a graph formed from the data sheet that it automatically prints?

I have attached a sample sheet which is for invigilation of exams. In columns D, E & F are the initials of people invigilating at different times. What I want to able to do is to print personised sheets for each person where there initals are in bold and the box has a black border around it. This is very labour intensive if I do it manually as have to highlight one person, print, unhighlight and rehighlight the next person and so on. What I was wondering is could I use a macro to automate this process. So it has a list of all the initals and it searches through and highlights the person and prints it and then moves onto the next.

I have early made a macro that will change some of the cells before printing and then changing back again to initional state after the print out.
http://www.excelforum.com/excel-misc...-printing.html
But now I have to do let people also print a copy a regular way, without the macro I made before. But if they go through the regular way iof printing I would like to insert at header in red color, to notify them that this is just a preview and not the way to print. And here we come to the problem ....

What i have is over 20 worksheets which have information on them that i want to print when selected so, i have a "main page" with a variety of options for the user to select (by check box) and when they are happy with their selection you would click another check box to print out, i have done this because the printer is set well away from the users and if they printed of sheet by sheet then lots of miles treading back and forth to the printer room would happen so, i thought by doing it this way it would batch print all selected sheets after selection, the code is set up to print all sheets which are selected by "true" in cell O2.
This is no problem as it works well but the code also prints when the check box is de selected. What I would like is a message box to appear before the main macro runs for the user to select "yes or no" to confirm printing. I have put code in this for the command but it will not run the main magro if you select "yes"...below is the code for the main print loop...I think the code for print message should appear before this...

I need to print a worksheet. The sheet has rows of a specific height (45) and data in one cell grows - adding comments/notes with date attached so that last one entered is displayed, the rest get shoved down.
I need to sometimes print out the sheet. However, I want to have all the notes shown so would like to (1) autofit all rows, (2) print the sheet and then (3) put all rows back to row height of 45. All this I would LIKE to have done by "trapping" the print button on the normal Print area
I have attached some code, but the sheet (1) does not print at all, (2) the code is sometimes executed twice (in debug mode followed it) and (3) sometimes does not set the row height properly either at autofit or static height.

I have a workbook that has a print button on it. The print button macro prints many tabs on the workbook. But, on ONE of the tabs, it inserts information from a range of cells, prints, goes to the next cell in that range and prints, until complete.
The problem I'm having is this: When there is only ONE cell in that range that has information in it, it gets stuck in a continuous loop and prints a ton of blank pages.
Here's my code for this portion of the macro:

how to print automatically from Excel to a PDF file. After a couple of days of searching and tweaking, I've got what I think is a fairly good solution for automating your printing of worksheets to PDF files.
This solution requires the use of PDF995. This is a free utility available at www.PDF995.com. This is a print driver that allows you to print to a PDF file. The file is compatible with Adobe and can be read with the Adobe reader like any other PDF. The free version does pop-up some advertising with each print, but the automation works with around the pop-ups. I believe the full license version is about $10 and doesn't produce the pop-ups.
The challenge in automating a PDF process is that the PDF driver will prompt the user for a filename. This is ok if you are printing just one sheet, but if you need to automate the production of several PDFs, you need to be able to specify the name of the file in the code. The subroutine SheetToPDF presented below allows you to specify a single worksheet and the full filename for the PDF. I've included all the code and external declarations needed. The two subs at the bottom give examples of how to call SheetToPDF with the passed parameters.
'Needed to Read INI file settings
Declare Function GetPrivateProfileString Lib "kernel32" Alias _
"GetPrivateProfileStringA" (ByVal lpApplicationName As String, _
ByVal lpKeyName As Any, ByVal lpDefault As String, _
ByVal lpReturnedString As String, ByVal nSize As Long, _
