Dynamic Print Ranges & Worksheet BeforePrint Event
Jan 27, 2008
I have a dynamic print range defined as follows:-
=OFFSET(Sheet1!$A$1,0,0,MATCH("PRINT_AREA_ROWS",Sheet1!$A:$A,0),MATCH("PRINT_AREA_COLUMNS",Sheet1!$1:$1,0)), lets say this equates to range("A1:D12")
I also have a workbook beforeprint event defined as follows:-
Private Sub Workbook_BeforePrint(Cancel As Boolean)
ActiveSheet.PageSetup.LeftFooter = "Pete"
End Sub
My problem is that after the Print Event has fired , the dynamic range has been converted into a static one i.e range("A1:D12"). I have tried this on all version of Excel from 97 to 2007 and it behaves the same so premably this must be by design rather than a bug?
Am I doing something wrong? What is the work around? I'd rather not have to create the dynamic range within the print event procedure unless I have to as my workbook has many, many tabs!

I've found some code which works to print certain pages with value in cell A1 but I need to print dynamic ranges on some of the sheets as they will have filters on so the rows ranges will be different each time.
So far this is what I have but the dynamic range part is not working:
VB:
Sub Print_All_Worksheets_With_Value_In_A1()
Dim Sh As Worksheet
Dim Arr() As String
Dim N As Integer
[Code] ....

So I've tried this a few different ways and every time I get the 1004 error: "Unable to set PrintArea property of PageSetup class"
Basically I have a macro that goes through a workbook to hide certain rows and columns based on some user inputs. After doing this I would like to set up appropriate print areas on certain sheets so that when you go to print anything it comes out clean. I thought this would be easy but I'm stuck.
The Plans variable in the code below is an integer from the user input. Think of this code as grabbing two separate boxes and setting them as print areas, which I've know I can do manually because I've tried it.
What's wrong with the following code?? (I've also tried using the union function here, to no avail)

I have a worksheet that has a few ranges and I need a printarea statement that looks like this:
Code:
ActiveSheet.PageSetup.PrintArea = "$A$1:$F$26,$G$1:$L$9,$M$1:$P$16,$Q$1:$S$7"
The above works, but each time I generate this worksheet, the ranges for the last row of each area can be dynamic.
So, I tried something like this:
Code:
Sub setPrtArea()
'set the print area
lr1 = Range("F65536").End(xlUp).Row
rngA = Range("$A$1:$F$" & lr1)
lr2 = Range("L65536").End(xlUp).Row
rngB = Range("$G$1:$L$" & lr2)
lr3 = Range("P65536").End(xlUp).Row
rngC = Range("$M$1:$P$" & lr3)
lr4 = Range("S65536").End(xlUp).Row
rngD = Range("$Q$1:$S$" & lr4)
ActiveSheet.PageSetup.PrintArea = rngA & "," & rngB & "," & rngC & "," & rngD
But, it fails. I have looked through many topics on this subject, but nothing seems to fit my scenario. This will pretty much complete my current project if I get this figured out and can export these print areas to pdf without a bunch of blank pages as I get now with no print area set.

Once a user of my workbook has input various price levels on the Input Page, the data is sorted on the output page. As the data on the Output Page is quite vast and not all of it is relevant on a particular day, the user is interested in just printing a certain range of data that are in 5 columns. I am trying to figure out how to set up a macro that will allow the user to enter into an Input Box the range to print (ie. Cells C25:G60).
I found one example on this site listed below that allows one to do that but I would like to make it more user friendly. I do not want to make the user have to write out Excel cooridinates. Specifically by allowing the user to input in the Input Box a High price level in Column C and a Low Price level in Column C ; The macro will look in Column C for the highest instance of this High Price and begin the range down to the last instance of the Low Price (there can be several instances of the exact price level.) The macro would then create the print preview of the cells Cxx:Gyy.
Sub SelectPrintArea()
Dim PrintThis As Range
ActiveSheet.PageSetup.PrintArea = ""
Set PrintThis = Application.InputBox _
(Prompt:="Select the Print Range", Title:="Select", Type:=8)
PrintThis.Select
Selection.Name = "NewPrint"
ActiveSheet.PageSetup.PrintArea = "NewPrint"
ActiveSheet.PrintPreview
End Sub

i currently have a workbbok that i have a very simple worksheet event macro that will filter a seperate sheets contents to the corresponding entry number. is there any way to make a dynamic event macro that will filter my second sheet depending on what cell is selceted on the first.
for example record 1 on sheet 1. if cell L1 is selected it will filter sheet 2 to to record 1, record 2 on sheet 1, if cell L2 is selected it will filter sheet 2 record 2 and so on. this list of records will continue to grow and i cant think of any way other than what i currently have, which is to make each filter macro for every cell.
is ther a better way example of CODE HERE
VB:
Private Sub Worksheet_SelectionChange(ByVal Target As Excel.Range)
If Target.Address = "$L$5" Then
Call Filter1
[Code]....

Can you have more than 1 worksheet change event on the same worksheet, if so, how do you name it to prevent the ambiguous name error. What code would I need to select a text value in colums e11:e15 based on the cell value in cell named STATE and place the selected value in cell e16. I have, thanks to this resource, one worksheet change event that selects a numeric value from any column E3,F3:F7 and places that value in cell C4. but the same code doesn't work for the new worksheet change event.

There were 2 macros. One printed all of the defined ranges (40) on separate pages, and the other printed all the graphs ("charts" - 39) on separate pages. I tried to combine the VBA code to print each range and then the corresponding graph. Everything is still on separate pages, but it saved time because I didn't have to collate after printing. It seemed to work. Then I tried figure out if I could print them all to a specific tray of the printer as set in the workbook or as the printer default. Now both the combined macro and the original macro are giving errors.
Is the code I have correct to do what I am trying to do (print each range and then the graph all on separate pages)? Is there any way to put the output tray choice into the macro?
Sub Load_Data_Report()

I have a "submit" button macro which user would click after he has finished his input. This macro would update a reference number on the worksheet named "orange" and then print out this worksheet.
My purpose is "orange" is printed out with a reference number.

I have a range which will change in size & in content, & I want this to be a Named Range at whatever size it is.
Reason I want to is because I want to make a Validation List with this dynamic range. I also want a Validation list which lists the content of 2 or more dynamic ranges which may or may not be on the same worksheet - is this possible?
i.e.
First dynamic range: called "Milestones" at A11
Second dynamic range: called "Activities" at A25
& make a Validation list that will list content of both

Is there a way to write a Worksheet_SelectionChange (ByVal Target As Range) event in module after creating a sheet in VBA? I constantly delete a sheet, then repopulate it with a new one that is empty, but I need to add some code that happens if they should change a particular cell. It worked when I ran it on a worksheet without refreshing, but as soon as I cleared and repopulated the sheet, it was gone. Is there a way to preserve this?

I would like to replace the blue bit of this Dynamic Named Range (DNR) with an INDIRECT formula in order to modify the starting point for the DNR: =OFFSET(DATA!$C$60,0,0,20,1). Unfortunately, I can’t seem to get my INDIRECT formula to work in order to use it to replace the blue bit above: INDIRECT("'"DATA"'!&ADDRESS(MATCH('SHEET1'!AC8,DATA_Date,0)+22,3)"). The orange bit of the formula above returns a value of 60, therefore the ADDRESS formula should return $C$60, that can then feed into the INDIRECT and act as the equivalent of DATA!$C$60. But it doesn’t.

I have a Word document that I'd like to print first, when I click Print on a specific worksheet (not on Print of other worksheets in the workbook, just the one). The worksheet contains customer information and is essentially a cover page for the Word document. the Word document already prints in reverse order, as does the worksheet, so I just need the Word doc to print prior to the worksheet/cover, to give me the total print package in the correct order. I've tried using the following code in the Sheet object for the worksheet in question;
Private Sub Worksheet_BeforePrintEvent()
Dim appWd As Word.Application
Set appWd = CreateObject("Word.Application")
appWd.Visible = True 'Change to False when code is good
'Open Doc
appWd.Documents.Open Filename:="S:BryanQuoting ToolsP'Binder Leading Pages.doc"
'Print Doc
appWd.ActiveDocument.PrintPreview 'Change to PrintOut when code is good
'Close Doc
Set appWd = Nothing
End Sub

with an event macro. Basically I have a workbook with 11 worksheets and have created a macro that increases the value of cell J3 by 1 in Sheet1. However at present it only works from Sheet5, but I now need it to run from Sheet6 and Sheet11 as well and not from any other worksheets. The code I have is as follows
Private Sub Workbook_BeforePrint(Cancel As Boolean)
If ActiveSheet.CodeName = "Sheet5" Then
With Sheet1
.Range("J3").Value = .Range("J3").Value + 1
End With
End If
End Sub

Is there a way of capturing the print event to run some code?
I.e. The 'Print' button is clicked and then code executed in the sheet.

I have a before print event that shows a userform - the user can then select which worksheets they want printed and select a command button. I then have a loop set up that loops through the selected workbooks and prints them. The problem is I am not sure how to tell VBA to print without it going back to the Before Print event userform.

Since upgrading to Windows 2007 (I was already using Excel 2007) I am having issues with the content in the cells on the worksheet not appearing the same on Print Preview and when I print. On the worksheet the cell show to be at the best fit both horizontally and vertically. When I look at the contents under print preview, the contents are squashed from the top and cut off from the left. This happens whether I have the format in Top or Central align and is even worse if I use Bottom align. It is also somewhat worse if I have thickened boarders.
I am using TrueType Fonts.

I just converted from Excel 2003 to 2007 and print previewed a worksheet and find a tiny image with a small portion of the print area. When I look at the sheet in page break preview mode, I see the 8.5 x 11 sheet broken up into approx 77 smaller sheets. When I try to move the page breaks to include the whole sheet it states the change cannot be made as it will result in an image less than 10%. I have attached two images - the first shows the print preview I get, and the second show the multiple pages when I view in page break.

I have a project report, which is user-configurable, allowing the user to customise the data that is displayed based on a number of parameters.
To ensure the report always prints neatly (the number of visible columns and rows varies, depending on the above parameters), so I have a macro that dynamically sets the print area of the worksheet.
At present, I call the macro from the workbook.beforeprint event, which works fine in terms of printing. Ideally however, I would like the macro to be called when CTRL+P is first pressed - i.e. the resulting 'print screen', containing a preview of the print out should reflect what will subsequently be printed, when the 'Print' button is then pressed.
I am not sure if this makes sense (Excel 2010 and 2013 are different from previous versions).

code to have check marks appear in multiple non-adjacent columns in a worksheet by double clicking.
The code I am using works for a single column : (The named range "Checkboxes1" is D4:D100)
VB:
Private Sub Worksheet_BeforeDoubleClick(ByVal Target As Range, Cancel As Boolean)
If Target.Count > 1 Then Exit Sub
If Intersect(Target, Range("Checkboxes1")) Is Nothing Then Exit Sub
[Code]......
However I also need the code to work on two other named ranges "Checkboxes2" (E4:E100) and "Checkboxes3" is G4:G100.

I create a series of labels and text boxes at runtime.
Code:
for x = 1 to 10
labelName = "label" & x
Set cControlLabel = Me.frameScrollable.Controls.Add("Forms.Label.1", labelName, True)
next x
How can I assign an on_click event to these? I have seen some rather complicated suggestions such as creating code for each possible object, but there could possibly be hundreds of labels created. It would be nice to be able to call the same macro from each label click, and then take action based on the .caption property of the label.

The following code is not working like I thought it would. I've got 4 named cells on a worksheet, and if any of them are blank, I don't want the user to be able to print it. What am I missing? Is it something with my Cancel = True statement?

In cell A1, I have the month number (eg, 1, 2, 3,). The month number reflects current month and will automatically change with every month. For example, right now it’s 6, next month it will automatically change to 7. Each two columns in Range A10:X20 represents the data from January to December. I want to use a worksheet event to change the background of the current month two columns in the range to yellow color and the two columns in the range will be visible when I activate this sheet.

I want to create a very simple macro to print some ranges that I have defined in my workbook. The ranges are as follows:
Note: Each of these ranges is in a different worksheet named Cons_Summ, Esky_Summ, Indy_Summ, and Gfld_Summ respectively.
To be printed in portrait view:
- Cons_Summ_IS
- Esky_Summ_IS
- Indy_Summ_IS
- Gfld_Summ_IS
To be printed in landscape view:
- Cons_Summ_OH
- Esky_Summ_OH
- Indy_Summ_OH
- Gfld_Summ_OH
I just want to create a macro so I can run it and it will print all of the ranges listed above with the proper orientation. Nothing special, each range must fit on 1 page x 1 page.

It shouldn't be this hard, from within an excel macro I am currently adding a new workbook and doing "some stuff" basically creating a report based on the first workbook.
In the new workbook I want to add a BeforePrint event to the ThisWorkBook Module. I can add it to other sheets, to code modules and other code to the thisworkbook module....but not the BeforePrint?
here is the code I've been working with, I also checked Chip Pearson's site and still can not figure it out.
