I've prepared an excel file (excel 2007) with some tabs that contains several charts (4 to 6 charts). When I want to print this file, the sheets with the charts on it doesn't print properly. I have set the print area to cover the charts only and then set it to fit on 1 page but the charts will not scale to fit.
I read somewhere that this is an excel bug - is there a workaround for this?
I could resize all my charts smaller but only as a last resort.
I have a NAMED RANGE of data consisting of 4 columns and as many rows as is selected. Name it CompTable1.
I loop through all of the 4 columns of data to format it (as shown below). This snippet is for column 1 of CompTable1 (a public variable as string) and I basically have the same situation for each column of 4 but replacing each respective x in cells.(n,X) & offset(0,-x) to take into account of where I wish the data to go as I loop through. Ultimately 4 (For Next) loops.
[Code] ......
The new range with 5 columns is as follows: Column 1 from CompTable1 = Column 1 of new range Column 2 of new range is blank for something later Column 2 from CompTable1 = Column 3 of new range Column 3 from CompTable1 = Column 4 of new range Column 4 from CompTable1 is not used in the new range but is formatted Column 5 of new range is blank for something later
This certainly works very well and with my amateur VBA status am quite proud of how far I have come in a few months. Is it efficient? Is it free of possible errors? Likely not. I wish to rid myself of the "Select" each cell plaque though maybe using a resize, offset or copy destination operation but can't seem to get it working. Once I do get the data in the new range, I format everything without selecting quite well with my methods described above.
So far my VBA will copy my range of cells in Excel and paste them into Powerpoint but I'm totally stuck as to how to resize the image from there. I've tried a bunch of different methods and I get some pretty crazy results but can't seem to punch through to a solution. What I'd like it to do, at the end of the VBA is:
Set the lock aspect ratio to false Set the Height to 5.5" Set the Width to 9.83" Set the horizontal position to .08 from Top Left Set the Vertical position to .58 from Top Left
I cannot seem to get my save as portion to work at all. I commented it out at the bottom. This is all in Excel and PPT 2007.
Here is what I have so far:
Sub Export_Excel_to_PowerPoint()
Dim ppApp As PowerPoint.Application Dim ppSlide As PowerPoint.Slide On Error Resume Next Set ppApp = GetObject(, "PowerPoint.Application") On Error GoTo 0
[Code]...
Ultimately the behavior I'm looking for with this macro is to copy a filtered range of cells from Excel and paste it as a picture into Powerpoint (up til this point I'm golden) then resize the image on the slide, save the presentation, then exit PPT.
I'm using Excel 2007 and I am taking the contents of various user entered cells and creating drawing textboxes to display this data using VBA. How would I get VBA to resize the width of the textbox so that the text is displayed correctly in the textbox i.e. there will be variable lengths of text in the cells so I currenly can read the full contents?
I have over 800+ pages of chart that only takes up 6 columns and around like 9000+ rows.
I wanted to print this chart on paper and need hardcopies. However, the chart in its current setup prints only on the left half of the page leaving the right half empty.
How do i make use of the full space properly? Each chart has a "page number" on it so I want the chart to print continuously from one half of the page onto the next half and then the second page, third, etc.
Here is a visual demonstration of how things currently are and how i'd like to get them to be:
As you can see, This is the first of many charts and its numbered Page 9 and next one is page 10.
Pic1
How this looks when i try to print, it's only on the left side. right is all blank Pic2
How i want it to look like upon printing Pic3
As you can see in the last picture, once page 14 chart has no space it automatically continues chart on right side of page and then moves on to print rest.
I'm currently working on a spreadsheet for my husbands work in a school environment. All was going well until I hit a wall with the alphanumeric data of the current uk stats system. Is there any way of getting my 4c...4b...4a...etc. to chart?
I am trying to put together a standalone VBA macro that can easily be inserted into my financial models that allows me to quickly switch between two different printing setups - e.g. 8.5x 11 and 11x17 tabloid.
Code: With ActiveSheet.ChartObjects("Chart 2").Chart .Axes(xlCategory).TickLabels.Font.Size = 20 End With
But this code throws a "This Object Is No Longer Valid" error when it gets to the first .Axes line:
Code: Sub ChartFormat() ' ' Format Charts macro ' Dim ch As ChartObject For Each ch In ActiveWorkbook.Sheets("Summary").ChartObjects With ch.Chart .Axes(xlCategory).TickLabels.Font.Size = 16
Using Excel 2007. Is there a straightforward way to do a waterfall chart?
eg. stacked bars running from left to right. First Column = 2011 Headcount 2nd Column = stacked bar with additions (by category) - stepping up from the 2011 total. 3rd Column = stacked bar with reductions (by category) - steppind down from the first column + 2nd colum total. 4th column = 2011 exit (which will be at the same height as the bottom of the 3rd column).
I hold some data in the Excel 2007 file. It's about 400 rows and about 10 columns. On occasion I have to print some values from this file. But it has to be in defined position on the paper. It is like I already have the prepared paper with fields, and I just have to fill some fields on the paper with data from the columns. Is it possible to make a program that will take each row that I label for printing, and print just some columns but in a defined position on the paper ?
I have a workbook with a chart on a worksheet called Area Report
There are 10 areas in total A - J, to view a particular area cell I2 is validated to only accept entries A - J which represent the Areas, selecting a particular area updates the chart for that area
Is it possible to have a macro that will print all 10 Area Reports, I tried to do it using the Record Macro function, the code was as follows .......
I have a piece of code that arranges a chart to fit the data it should show. The code used to work perfectly in the old Excel version, but after an "upgrade" to Excel 2007 I get "Automation Error" from the line where the scale type is set.
In the old Excel it is possible to rename a chart by pressing SHIFT+Mouse Click and then write a new name in the upper left corner name box. You can apparently do the same thing in Excel 2007, but the new name doesn't stick.
I have a Userform that when opened shows the Excel spreadsheet sitting behind. Is it possible to write code such that when opened the Excel workbook has been sized and re-positioned such that it is effectively hidden under the Userform?
Anyhow, I enjoy the modern convenience of a dual-monitor setup but still find myself struggling with small forms(?) in Excel. For instance I am currently looking at the "Conditional Formatting Rules Manager" which occupies a very limited amount of screen real-estate. The sheet I am working on contains a large number of conditional formats which all use long custom formulas. I am not the original author.
I would love to be able to resize the overall size of the menu and the columns within it but, for the life of me, I can't seem to do so. It would be much easier to be able to see the rule formulas in one glance as opposed to having to go into each one to see the one-character difference. As stated before I certainly have the real-estate to do so.
I need to resize Excel pretty frequently - I need to size the whole Excel app tall and all the way to the left, taking up about a third of my screen - then maximize it - then back to tall and left, etc. I can do it by clicking the "Restore Down" icon in the top right corner, but I can't figure out how to do it using the keyboard.
I've tried Ctrl-F8, Ctrl-F9 and Ctrl-F10, but they all act on individual workbooks within the Excel application. I want to resize the whole Excel application. Does it exist?
I have a user here at my company that is having a strange issue with Excel. When she moves a page break in her document, Excel freezes up, then once it finally makes the change (if it doesn't crash), some (but not all) of the images that are in the document resize to super small.
For instance, she may have 50 rows. Each row contains a column with an image, then a few other columns with product information. Changing a page break may cause ten of the images to become tiny for no apparent reason. Resetting page breaks seems to cause the document to explode, with cells being thrown all over the page into different locations and columns becoming uneven.
When I make the same change on the same document on my system (both using similar specs and Office 2010), this does not happen.
I'm a graphic designer with a few years of experience incorporating Excel content in design layouts, and for the first time I've been asked to use Excel to layout content. The client has a complicated spreadsheet that works as an interactive form, taking responses and running them through a hidden page of secret-sauce analytics before outputing results to a final report.
The thing is, they are hoping to use it in person with clients on an iPad, and then also print out all of the individual pages as a consistent-looking booklet.
I can make an excel page look good, but the printing just isn't going according to plan. When I go to print it distorts the pages. I can resize it to print, but then it doesn't work onscreen so well. And that's for one page: in a best-case scenario I'd need all of the pages to work for print and screen AND use the same scale so that they all look uniform.
how to use Excel for clean, consistant page layouts?
I am trying to prevent a document from being printed unless certain cells are filled in. I am new to VB and just want to know the code. I have 36 fields that need information to be filled in.
I have to enter data into a spreadsheet daily and update a line graph with the data for 10 different production machines. I want to place the charts on their own separate excel file that way they can be easily viewed without the data next to them. I tried copying and pasting the graphs to another excel spreadsheet, but when I update the graphs on the original excel file the data does not change on the one I copied the graphs to. I use the select data range option to update the line graph data. Basically, I just want both graphs to update at the same time on both spreadsheets, but the links don't seem to update. How would I link the graphs so that both update across files?
I've got quite of few excel charts to make and have been looking for a way to automate the process. The chart types include line, pie, and bar. Basically, I have data for each state in the US that I am comparing with national level data. Thus each chart will have national level data and the data for each state. What I need is a macro that I can easily change the parameters for because different worksheets have slightly different layouts. I started by using the macro recorder to make a chart. Then I attempted to edit it so that it would run loops to make additional charts. Below is some sample data for the first worksheet I have and my attempted macro.
Sample Data:
Code: State Characteristic Value07 Value08 Value09 Alaska A 11 23 45 Alaska B 13 22 98 Alaska C 99 91 21 Alabama A 23 14 11 Alabama B 44 62 76 Alabama C 75 47 21[code]....
So i have working printing macro code in excel that sends files to selected printer based on last 3 characters, when i click a button only 1 file per click is send to printer but i want to send more files (quantity is listed in row D). I think i need to add quantity row to shell command for printing so it will send not only name of pdf file but quaintity too:
I have a simple problem. I have many worksheets which all contain data in the first four columns. I want to be able to create a chart (a scatter chart) in the first worksheet which plots the data on that worksheet and then format it how I want it to look. This I can do.
Next, I want to copy and paste that graph into all the other worksheets, but have the pasted graphs display the data in that worksheet.
As it stands, in Excel 2010, all the pasted graphs keep showing the data in the original worksheet irrespective of which worksheet I now have them in. This seems to be different to older versions of Excel and is very annoying and has to be changed by hand which is very time consuming.
How can I make charts that don't have the worksheet name in the cell reference, or how can I paste a chart so that is updates the references to the same row and column but in the new worksheet?
I know I could copy and paste the entire worksheet and then manually copy the new data into that copy of the worksheet - but that is not a real solution to this problem.
