I need to use macro to find the last column index number within the print area. My cell sizes change depending on the data entered so the last column in the print area changes. The code I want to implement involves putting a title at the top of the page and creating a border that spans the width of the page. This is what I have so far:
LastColumn = Cells.SpecialCells(xlLastCell).Column ' replace this with last column in print area
Rows("2:2").Select
Selection.Insert Shift:=xlDown
Range(Cells(1, 1), Cells(2, LastColumn)).Select
With Selection
.MergeCells = True
.HorizontalAlignment = xlCenter
.VerticalAlignment = xlCenter
End With
With Selection.Borders(xlEdgeLeft)
.LineStyle = xlContinuous
.Weight = xlMedium
.ColorIndex = xlAutomatic
End With
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.
Using Excel 2003 I am trying to write a macro to set the print area according to the amount of data in a particular range of cells. I find I can include this instruction
I have a template worksheet that several people use and print from. The range on this worksheet used is A1:C499
I want the VBA to look at tha last cell that is populated in column A and set the print area to suit. i.e. the last cell used in column A could be A277. then I'd want the print area to be A1:C277.
I want to select a range in a spreadsheet and then set it as the print area. the last column I want to be selected is contains the text data "ABC" in row 1 and is the only column with data "ABC" in row 1. The last row I want to select contains the text data "DEF" in column 1 and is the only row in column 1 containing the data "DEF". Basically I want to select the range [A1:column("ABC")row("DEF")] and then set it as the print area.
How can I print 2 selected area (highlighted area). I know there is a trick to do that. Right now I can only select (highlight) one area to print, but would like to know how to print 2 or more areas at same time
with creating vb code that will select certain rows in a spreadsheet, set the print area to those rows and print them out, and then reset the print area back to default. The data is all on one sheet, but is split into 5 different areas, each below the next, with the column headers at the top of each. e.g.
and so on. At the press of a button it'll set the print area to the first section and print (the section includes the headers as well as the data). Then at the press of another button it'll set the print area to the next section. There could be any amount of rows of data in each section so it needs to cope with that.
I have a sheet that will be about 5 pages long if printed. To minimize wasted ink and paper, using VB I would like to be able to have it only print the portion uses (data entered) along with a section at the top and bottom. The section at the top would print on the top of the first page and the section at the bottom would print on the last page.
I know I could record a macro to select an area and print that but it would not do what I am trying to accomplish.
I use the code below to print a portion of a sheet. My problem is that the area always changes. The $A$476 should be the first cell in that column that contains "HEA" The "536" in $F$536 is the last row that contains data. There are conditional formats all the way down to row 1,000 but not data
Private Sub CommandButton1_Click() Dim strCurrentPrinter As String, strNetworkPrinter As String ****strNetworkPrinter = GetFullNetworkPrinterName("Adobe PDF") ****If Len(strNetworkPrinter) > 0 Then ' found the network printer ********strCurrentPrinter = Application.ActivePrinter ********' change to the network printer ********Application.ActivePrinter = strNetworkPrinter ********ActiveSheet.PageSetup.PrintArea = "$A$476:$F$536" ********ActiveSheet.PrintOut** 'print something ********' change back to the previously active printer ********Application.ActivePrinter = strCurrentPrinter ********ActiveSheet.PageSetup.PrintArea = "" ****End If End Sub
Obviously there is a function also that finds the full network printer name, I didn't think it was important, because my issue is the print area. Everything else works fine. If you need it let me know and I will post it.
Looking for a macro that will set the print area on an accounts spreadsheet to the last non blank row, bearing in mind that all the rows contain formulas, have tried some macros but they assume the cells with formulas in them are non blank
copying a document that was made in word into Excel. I set the print area and page size but it seems I can keep adding columns. When I check the print preview it still shows the one page but it appears wider.Will it automatically create a new page if the page size limit is reached?
Excel 2003 used to have a feature where the user can select and set the print area. I do not see this feature in Excel 2007. So, how dow I set the print area in Excel 2007?
I can define a name to calculate the desired Print Area for a page. For example, print_area_notes: =Notes!$A$1:INDEX(Notes!$A:$Z,final_Note,5). I can then use that name when defining the Print Area via Page Setup.
The problem is it calculates the cell range immediately and substitutes that in the Print Area field. When print_area_notes changes the actual Print Area does not. Is there some formula I can enter in Print Area that will allow this value to be set dynamically? I have tried setting Print Area to =indirect("print_area_notes") but it doesn't like that. I could, but prefer not to, write a VBA function to set the Print Area but even then how do I set it to be called automatically? I'd prefer to be able to enter a formula and do it without VBA code because you then have the security issues every time the spreadsheet is opened.
I have 2 codes that set up different "print areas". Every time i run one of the codes the print area doesn't get set unless i run the same code again. So if i run code A which will set the print area with no issues and then right afterwards i run code B then code B's print area won't get set unless i run code B a 2nd time. And if i now i run code A, the same issue happens and the print area to Code A won't get set properly unless i run the code again.
Here is part of the code that discusses the print area:
I'm trying to dynamically set the print area for a given worksheet. I use the code below and it works perfectly when it's executed upon opening the tab; however, the worksheet has filters which may lengthen/shorten the required print area.
Is it possible to execute the code below when the user selects print rather than when opening the tab?
I have a spreadsheet used for costing jobs giving a detailed breakdown of parts and time. Sometimes the customer requests a copy so I'm creating a macro for my boss that prints the spreadsheet, less the hidden columns that I don't want the customer to see. This I can manage.
My question is this: Is there a way within the macro to set the print area to change to where the last cell is automatically?
Each spreadsheet is a different length dependent upon the work required and setting a larger print area to compensate would use excess paper and ink.
I'm looking for code that would set print area when printing the output of my Macro. Print area will always be the same for all two pages. I need to display first two tables on page one, and the next two on page two. All four tables will always contain the same number of columns and rows. I'm trying to automate this process as much as possible.
if there is a way with functions or code to automatically set the print area. I would like to have it set to start at A1 and print to column G & the first ROW with a zero value in column F.
The ROW in which the first zero value appears will be the only variable. It will always be column G.
Is there a macro that can automatically set the print area by determining what the used range is. For example, If P96 is my last used cell, I would want a1: P96 as my print area.
My macro selects cells containing data - then i want the macro to set the print area to those selected cells - works fine - but the selected cells won't be the same each time i run the macro. Here's how it looks now:
I have some code to select a print area depending on wether or not there is data in a cell. The code I have so far partially works but not quite like I need it to. Here's what I have,
Sub selectprintarea() Select Case True
Case Range("C5").Value > 0 Range("A1:M47").Select ActiveSheet.PageSetup.PrintArea = "$A$1:$M$47"
Case Range("Q5").Value > 0 Range("A1:AA47").Select ActiveSheet.PageSetup.PrintArea = "$A$1:$AA$47"
End Select End Sub
It will select the print range if there is data in C5 but if there is data in C5 and Q5 it only selects the first print area. I know I need an "If - Else" or something of that nature but I cant figure that out. Also I need it to look at other worksheets not just the active one. I've tried a replacing the ActiveSheet with Worksheets (Sheet1). but that gives me an error.
I am having trouble setting print area on rows that can vary from 100 to 6000 rows. This code works good except that the print area cuts off the last row of data every time. "AreaBegin"=row 6 and "AreaEnd" = to last row after a set number of rows have been inserted based on a counter.
Basically how do I get this code to capture the last row for print area?
Sub SetArea() ActiveSheet.PageSetup.PrintArea = Range("AreaBegin", Range("AreaEnd").End(xlUp)).Address
I wish the print area to be set based on the number entered into cell "D58". My code so far is:
Sub Worksheet_SelectionChange(ByVal Target As Range) Dim NumPages As Range Set NumPages = Range("D48") Worksheets("Sheet6").PageSetup.PrintArea = Worksheets("Sheet6").Range(0, 0).Resize(NumPages * 21, 47) End Sub
I am looking to set the print area with a macro, below is what I had hoped would work. It does not. I get unable to get Vlookup property of worksheetFunction class error.
Sub Printzed() Start = Range("C6").Address Finish = Res = Application.WorksheetFunction.VLookup(I5, Range("prlu"), 2).Address
myPrintArea = Start & ":" & Finish ActiveSheet.PageSetup.PrintArea = myPrintArea End Sub
