I have a workbook with multiple sheets that I need to print.
Is there a way to create a fixed print area within which you can mess around with formatting without extending or shrinking the print area?
I have tried adjusting the margins settings so that they are all the same, but this does nothing to keep a fixed print area.

View 7 Replies View RelatedI 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.
View 4 Replies View RelatedI am trying to write a macro that will allow the user to print out the sheet from the beginning to the last used row. The catch is that I have formats and formulas all the way to the end (A1:O319). My basic format is a frozen Pane (for a header and summary) from A1:O18, then the user inputs their data starting on B19. The columns never change, and the rows will be variable. I tried a dynamic range to no avail, and have most recently tried this
Sub printter()
Dim myrange
Dim Rng, cell As Range
Set myrange = Range("A320").End(xlUp)
Set Rng = Range("A1:" & myrange.Address)
For Each cell In Rng
If cell = "" Then
myrange = cell.Address
MsgBox cell.Address
ActiveSheet.PageSetup.PrintArea = "$A$1:O" & cell.Row
ActiveSheet.PrintOut
Exit Sub
End If
Next
End Sub
My next plan would be to write to check to see the last used cell in column B, since that cell has only formating, no formula, and is a required entry cell
How to only show the printable area in excel, and have all other cells greyed out?
View 8 Replies View RelatedI would like to set the printer area of an Excel worksheet. I would like to print one page starting from row A3005-V3220. However, I cannot change the print area. Excel wants each row to be another page. When I drag the blue print area lines, nothing happens. So right now I have 216 pages and only want one!

The problem arises when wanting to alter the ‘210’ by introducing a string variable, say
PrintRange = "$B$1:$D$" & UpperLimit
where ‘UpperLimit’ is the top row to be included in the print area.
Using Excel 2010.
I am building a dashboard and would like to maximize the print area so everything fits on 1 sheet 8 1/2 x 11 landscape.
My settings at this point:
Margins:
Top 0.25
Right 0.25
Bottom: 0.25
Left 0.25
Row Height 7.5
Column Width 1.29
Seems small, I know but as I develop charts, titles, infographics, etc... I will merge rows and columns as needed so as to leave just enough white space for clarity while packing critical information into 1 sheet.
My problem - as I keep playing with maximimizing number of columns and rows Excel keeps scaling. Is there a way to calculate the correct number of rows and columns to maximize the available space?
In the range A1:H89 I have expanding and retracting values - all of which is determined by the numbers in column A. Column A is simply A1+1 copied down. The value of A1 is determined by the value of another cell, based on age. If the value in column A exceeds a specific figure (let's say 50), formulas in columns B - H result in answers of "" (this is "nothing"?). Assume that the value of 50 is reached in A20. All cells from A21 (inclusive) down, including B21 - H21, will have the values "" in them and show up as nothing on my screen. When I print, I'd like to only print those cells where data is, i.e. cells A1:H20.

I have a technician who sits a desk over, has the same brand of computer running the same Windows 7 and the same Excel 2010, but when he opens a particular file the page layout or print area seems to change so that the sheet is partially cut off. All his options appear the same. I can open this file on other computers and it seems to be fine...
I notice that the Margins under Custom Margins are different and this would explain the problem but not why it occurs. It's a file I created and saved and he opened. Why would the margins change? Is this one of the Microsoft cross platform / program deals where if he changes the print set-up or page layout in WORD for example, it changes them in EXCEL?
I would like to send a Excel printing area to a mail recipient by using a macro that:

I need to add a background picture to a spreadsheet that only shows on the print area.
This spreadsheet is being used as a pro forma invoice that can be emailed to customers for them to view & print as required.
At the moment I can add a background image but this appears throughout the sheet and not in the place I need it to i.e. the print area.
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.
header_____header_____header
data_______data_______data
data_______data_______data
data_______data_______data
header_____header_____header
data_______data_______data
data_______data_______data
data_______data_______data
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.
Trying to put together a macro that looks down active sheet for all cells that contain a value, sets a print area and then prints !
Is this possible?
FYG, I have a column that run from 3 - 2000, which contains a formula, which may produce a value depending on corresponding cells.
I used this code from a post on a similar topic, but excel is complaining code
in bold
Private Sub Print_Area_Click()
Dim lastCell As Range
Set lastCell = Cells.SpecialCells(xlCellTypeLastCell).Offset(1, 0)
Do Until Application.Count(lastCell.EntireRow) 0
Set lastCell = lastCell.Offset(-1, 0)
Loop
ActiveSheet.PageSetup.PrintArea = Range(Cells(1, 1), lastCell).Address
End Sub
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 have an excel sheet with lots of rows (it goes up to BAA) I would like to be able to print certain parts with a VBA
for instance if Sales is selected from a drop down (lets say A1) the macro will print
Area : C7:Z500
Scaling: fit to 1 page
Orientation: landscape
Color: Color
or if Sales next year is selected
Area : C7:D7 AA7:AZ500
Scaling: fit to 1 page
Orientation: landscape
Color: Color
etc....
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

Making a macro that selects active cells (so anything with text in) and sets that as the print area.
Using the default builder I have:
Range("A1:AA44").Select

Range(Selection, Selection.End(xlUp)).Select
Range("A1:AA692").Select

View 2 Replies View RelatedExcel 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?
View 2 Replies View RelatedI 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 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.
View 1 Replies View Relatedif 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.
