Inserting Page Breaks On Relative Rows Based On Data
Oct 29, 2008
Each week I format a report that I receive that lists every product a particular employee closed. Its a list of each employee, the product and date. I'll have about 20-30 lines for each employee. I can easily sort by the employee name to have a nice list.
From here what I do is use a forumla to mark where each employee's name changes, then filter by that changed line and insert page breaks for each of these lines. Is there a way to macro this to save me time, having 270 employees takes alot of time still, because thats 270 manually inserted page breaks.
I'm working with a large report that includes ~6000 rows of data. Within the report the data is separated into a couple hundred town names - "Town of XXX" - and I need a page break at each town. Is there a way to insert a page break based on text in a cell? Should be an option in conditional formatting but... Need to avoid VBA.
I've got data output (~500 rows) that's going into a larger, formatted sheet. The data going into the sheet is about 8 columns of material and the formatted sheet has over 20 columns (the rest to be filled out by the engineers). I'm tacking the new information to the bottom of the sheet (in the corresponding, non-consecutive columns), but the question now is how to format it.
Each location has recommendations, about 1-5 rows. What I want to do is insert a row after each different entry (probably by location address) so it will be more visually accessible (this is the format of the sheet).
I need to remove all existing page breaks in a document and add a page break every 72 rows. I've tried some similar codes from this forum with other functions that I don't need in it.
I have a sheet that data is imported into that is normally no more than 300 rows. I need to insert 2 blank rows after each page break. My problem is the row height is not always the same when the data is imported. How to insert 2 blank rows after each page break using a macro.
I have a problem where my conditional formatting is broken when new rows are inserted because Excel is auto updating the cell references. I am not able to use absolute references because I need to be able to Copy the entire information many times on one sheet to handle an ever changing number of projects.
I have attached an example file which shows a simple version of the sheet. There are areas for two projects now, but more would be added to the sheet as needed by just copying the entire section of one project and pasting it at the bottom. For each project, there is a cell which has a data validation list, e.g. B6, from which the user can select the current stage. The list of stages is obtained from column A, e.g. A9:A18. Whatever stage is selected, I need it to be highlighted in some manner. I currently have conditional formatting that checks if the value in B6 matches the information in the current cell and will change the text font color if True.
The problem occurs when new rows are inserted into the project. For example: if the project requires a Beta 1.1 stage, then a row would need to be inserted and labeled for that stage. However, Excel auto changes the cell references so that it no longer looks at B6. I need some way that the current stage can still be highlighted when selected in the Data Validation list.
I know that what I am needing to do may not be the best method to go about this, but I am having to work within the confines of the software available to me and the intended users of the file. Since the number and length of projects can change on a daily basis, the users need to be able to add and remove room for additional stages and projects whenever they want. I have a basic solution available to me using a macro, but the overall solution is clumsy and just leads to more problems.
Is it possible to use the resize function in Excel VB to select all rows that are between 2 page breaks.
I have a worksheet with several pages of data. Each page is separated by a page break at the top and bottom of the range, each page can consist of any number of rows from 20 to 50. I need to look for a specific criteria in column A in each of these pages. If the criteria is met, then I need to delete that page.
For example, if the cell where the criteria is met is A50, in page 2, and the page break above this is at row 45, and the one below is at row 55, then delete rows 45 to 55
I have the code that finds the criteria in column A. I tried to use the offset and resize functions but as there isnt always a consistent number of rows involved this didnt work
If this isnt possible, can you refer to page numbers in excel, so if the criteria is found in pages 4, 7 and 10 of the data then these pages are deleted?
I want to add a button on my Worksheet that will basically copy the last portion of the sheet (about 40 lines) and insert it at the bottom of the sheet (above the button). Each time the button is clicked, the last 40 lines will be copied and pasted. The script also sets the page break to the appropriate line. To achieve this, I've set up a hidden sheet that contains the line numbers and last page number. The script accrues these numbers every time the script runs.
I realise there may be a better way to do this, but at this point I'm trying to stick to what I know. I'm trying to use the function Row().Select, and I keep getting an Error 13. Example of my
Sub AddPageTest() Sheets("SetPoint").Select Dim CopyRows As String CopyRows = Range("C13").Select Dim InsertRow As String InsertRow = Range("C14").Select Dim SelRange As String SelRange = Range("C12").Select Dim LastPageNum As Integer LastPageNum = Range("C5").Select Dim NewLastPageNum As Integer NewLastPageNum = LastPageNum + 1 Dim LastPageBreak As String LastPageBreak = Range("C15").Select Dim NextPageFirstRow As Integer NextPageFirstRow = Range("C4").Select + 1...................
I essentially have this data repeated multiple times depending on how many products I am looking at, I would like this repeated 3 times per page, which is where the page breaks are currently being placed. When i tried to set Width 1 page the automatic page breaks would only allow two of these per page at 100% scaling.
I'm not sure went wrong but my code was working fine until I protected the worksheet. Then I made some changes to the code by adding code to unprotect the sheet before running the code and then protecting it again when complete. That didn't work. I unprotected the sheet and ran the code again and now I'm getting a Run Time Error and the code stops when it attempts to set the Page Breaks which was previously fine. Because the data I use to generate this report is based on data from another report that does not need to recalculate before running. I have a Worksheet Activate Private Sub that sets the Application Calculation to Manual. When the sheet is deactivated it sets it back to Automatic. Hence the line in the following code to calculate this worksheet. When attempting to debug the line that highlights is the first line that attempts to set the page break that corresponds to the matching location criteria from cell A2.
We have a schedule that creates an Excel file which separates each order by blank rows. I need each order to be separated by a page break, so each order prints on a separate sheet.
Each order entry is 1 or 2 rows
Using Excel 2010/2013 although the file produced is an xls file.
Columns A to J are populated
Rows 1 & 2 are the header
I have tried a macro that involves me doing a countif and counting entries in the row, and if they add to 10 it inserts a page break, but its bit long winded and only seemed to work once.
I want to achieve is a procedure that inserts horizontal page breaks at certain parts of the sheet where there is a cell equal to 2. Here is the code I have so far.
Sub insert_pagebreak() Dim printbreak_cell As Range Dim j As Long Dim i As Long ActiveSheet.ResetAllPageBreaks Set printbreak_cell = Range("AD1") j = 1 For i = 1 To 100 If printbreak_cell.Value = 2 Then Set ActiveSheet.HPageBreaks(j).Location = printbreak_cell j = j + 1 End If Set printbreak_cell = printbreak_cell.Offset(1, 0) Next i End Sub
Everything works until the cell value reaches a 2, and then once it goes into the If statement I get a 'Application-defined or object-defined error' at the below line.
Set ActiveSheet.HPageBreaks(j).Location = printbreak_cell.............
On sheet "Create Package" in cell "AA14" I have a value (lets say 2).
I want it to go to sheet "Samples" and insert a number of rows equal to the value on sheet "Create Package" cell "AA14" (so 2 rows)
I have a header row in row 1, so I would like it to insert the designated number of rows beneath that.
Then I would like it to copy a designated number of rows (based off of the "AA14" value, so 2) from the "Create Package" sheet starting at row 66 and then paste special values into the new rows that were inserted on sheet "samples".
I want some code which will automatically insert a page break every time the data changes in a column. In column B- the data is structured as below;
DOG <blank cell> <blank cell> DOG <blank cell> DOG <blank cell> <blank cell> CAT <blank cell> CAT <blank cell> MOUSE <blank cell> MOUSE MOUSE <blank cell>
Etc
The code I want would insert the page break every time every time the data changed- but not where there is a blank cell. I hope this makes sense. I realise the blank cells complicate things- the blank cells separating the data cells are there because there is additional;data in columns C,D,E etc
I have a worksheet with 760 names on it. The first row are headers, 2nd row on is the data. I need to break the data up into 25 rows a piece, excluding the headers. I am making rosters, so each roster would have twenty five names per sheet. Of course I know I will have a couple of names left over, but this would help with the bulk.
I have a spreadsheet that I need to print, but Excel automatically puts in an automatic page break every cell. I have tried all other solutions to this problem posted on this site (page setup, printer issues, etc).
I'm using the this code to print some info out of an existing worksheet and I'd like to force excel to remove all pagebreaks, as the last column or two is always printed onto another page. Does anyone know how to programatically remove pagebreaks?
how to write code to set page breaks every 4th column, or in certain intervals. For rows I have a simple .FitToPagesTall = 1, but I'm looking for something more dynamic for the columns.
I'm importing a text document into excel, and I have these page breaks that start with a c in the leftmost space(no other lines start with a character in the 1st space) and 15 spaces underneath it are page headers. I'm trying to create a macro that scans the entire A column for any "C" in the 1st leftmost space, highlight and delete(move page up) that "c" and the 15 spaces following it. I want the macro to loop until it ends.
So far, this is what I got for selecting C:
Dim c For Each c In Range("A1:A306").Cells If Left(activecell.characters.value,1)="C" Then c.Select
want to specify page breaks and set print areas when running a macro. Appears to work sometimes, but then breaks (hard and soft) pop up on their own). Currently using something like this to specify a 2 page wide view...
ActiveSheet.PageSetup.PrintArea = "$A:$Z" With ActiveSheet.PageSetup .FitToPagesWide = 2 Set ActiveSheet.VPageBreaks(1).Location = Range("P1") End With
Can I force breaks to be more absolute (more accurately)?
I have a spreadsheet that I use for work that I have set the row height specifically for page breaks. I use the top 3 rows on each page as a header with that page info.
If I update it at home, then email it to work, the row height has changed. No real problem, I just go in and adjust the row height. Then if I email it back to home from work, it does the same thing.
It's just this particular sheet that does it. All of the other sheets that I use always keep their row height properties intact when emailing.
