Macro To Print A Variable Number Of Multiple Sheets
Aug 25, 2010
I am trying to build a macro to work with a template file.
The template file has set sheet numbers and names (with one exception, see 4) below).
There are close to 40 sheets in all.
Some sheets are never printed.
Some sheets are always printed.
Many sheets are printed only if they are used.
Most of the sheets are 'break out' sheets and a variable number of them will be used.
So... Here is what I'm trying to accomplish.
1) Always print Sheet4(Overview1)
2) Always print Sheet6(Overview2)
3) Print Sheets 11 thru 40 IF value in cell G50 on these sheets is > 0. Note that this cell has a name (Total) and I would like to reference the name if possible. (It could happen that further evolution of the Workbook moves the cell up or down a row.)
4) Print Sheet38(Data Sort) IF it exists. Otherwise, print Sheet1(Data).
If the information on the Data sheet is limited (eg only 1 or 2 pages), we print it off directly. If the information is more extensive, we copy it to a new sheet and sort it (Data Sort).
I can achieve 1) and 2). I'm not quite sure how to go about 3) as I'm still not very good with macro loops. 4) I haven't tackled yet.
I am trying to write what I thought would be a simple macro to print out specific areas of my worksheets. I have shown the code below; the line causing the problem I have highlighted in RED. I am getting the following error message: "Select method of range class failed".
Reading other posts here. I think this may have something to do with the macro being assigned to a command button in one worksheet (AY114) and I am trying to get the macro to run on both the worksheet that the command button is in (AY114) as well as another worksheet (AY062).
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
I need a macro that will create a sheet at the end of the workbook.
Sum data from a variable amount of sheets and display that data on the created sheet.
Here is a step by step:
Starting on sheet 5.
Column D has a variable amount of part numbers in it. These part numbers would be different between the ascending sheets.
Column T, U, V has an inputed number in it that would need added up across all duplicate part numbers in all the sheets.
(Note: The data would also need started on row 4. Everything above row 4 is headers)
Here is a small example:
D E T U V 13019090W Part A1 68705500 Part B1 64202900 Part C-11 59634600 Part D1 26005300W Part E1
I need the macro to start with sheet #5(starting on row 4). Check to see if there is data in column T, U or V. If there is, to create a new sheet at the end. And copy the entire line into that sheet (starting on row 4).
After that, to check every sheet after (excluding the newly created one, starting on row 4) for data in Column T, U and V. And then check for duplicates in Column D on the newly created sheet. If there is a duplicate to add/subtract that number in Column T, U and V to the SUM in column T, U and V in the newly created sheet. If there is no duplicate, to copy the entire line to the new sheet.
So that when finished. On the new sheet, you have the SUM of T, U and V for everything that has data in T, U or V for all of the previous sheets, plus the entire line of the first instance (excluding the first 4 sheets).
I inherited a spreadsheet that had an userform where the user checked off which 'pages' he wanted to print. The Ok button routine used if statements to run a routine for each 'page.' Here's an example of the original code for one page:
Sub Button2_Click() Sheet7.Activate Run "HorizontalPrintStuff" 'generic landscape pagesetup With ActiveSheet.PageSetup 'specific pageset settings .RightFooter = " Construction Assumptions" .PrintArea = "CONSTRUCTION" 'the named range to print .Zoom = False .FitToPagesTall = 1 .FitToPagesWide = 1 'this changes depending upon the page selected End With ActiveSheet.PrintOut End Sub
The problem was it printed each page as a separate print job; and if you print to adobe, you get serveral files, not one file. That and it took a long time to run.
So I tried a different tack. If the checkboxes has true, then the printarea is set to that named range. If there were more than one named range on a sheet to be printed, I consolidated them. I did this with a bunch of if statements - very cumbersome.
Sheet3.Activate 'Sheet3.ResetAllPageBreaks 'disabled due to errors Run "HorizontalPrintStuff" 'generic landscape pagesetup With ActiveSheet.PageSetup 'specific pageset settings .PrintArea = "DEVBGTALL" 'the named range to print .FitToPagesWide = 4 'this changes depending upon the .FitToPagesTall = 1 End With
I haven't shown all the code cause it goes on for 12 sheets containing 16 different printareas.
My current muck ups are .....
1) it prints every printarea/named range on a given sheet (I took out all the if statements trying to debug everything.) Is there another conditional argument that allows for multiple 'trues'?
2) the pagebreaks in printarea/named ranges that are multiple pages (like a 48 month schedule) won't stay set. I've tried both VPageBreaks(3).Location:= and .VPageBreaks.Add Before:=
3) the Sheet1.select false argument is always adding a random sheet to the end of the print job. Don't know why.
I can do all this in a recorded macro, just not the selection userform. I've thought about copying to another sheet or hiding columns and rows then printing, but that seems just as cumbersome.
To recap, i want to print out, as one print job, multiple printareas from mulitple sheets, based upon checkbox selection on an userform.
I've been feverishly searching for a pre-existing macro to print specific sheets assigned manually by the macro to the windows default printer (or better still bring up the printer dialog box and you can select which printer!)
The macro is attached to an image on Sheet 3 called "Details" The respective sheets I want to print in succession are Sheet 2 "Letter Of Estimation", Sheet 6 "Labour & Equipment SOR" and Sheet 7 "Labour Only SOR".
Can anyone help me with this please? I've been searching for a while and come up with various bits of code that perform intricate loops based on user input, and other unrelated tasks I can't seem to ween out of the code by myself.
I have a workbook consisting of about 20 worksheets. I have VBA code that prints any sheet that is used but skips any pages that are not used. This works fine but if there are more than one user printing sheets at the same time on our network printer, the pages get all mixed together and they have to pick through the stack to find their pages. Is there a way that the used pages can be assembled and then all printed as one printjob so that each users pages will all print together simplifying the sorting process.
This sounds like a daft question I know but I have searched the forum but not found an answer despite finding a lot about footers. How do I include a formatted variable value in my printed footer? I have a function that gives me the file creation date and I need that in the footer but formatted 8pt Arial Bold. I have no problem inserting a formatted fixed string.
I'm trying to select multiple sheets and print them out. At this time the code is only printing out the "Work Order" sheet. I'm guessing it's something to do with the PrintOut command trying to print the active sheet and not the array?
In making my label printer, I will need to set the print area for multiple sheets based on a range generated in a cell. E.g. Sheet1 might need cells A1:P1200 set as print area, Sheet2 might need cells A1:G694 set as the print area, Sheet3 might not need to be printed, etc..
I have no problem generating a formula to state what the print area for each sheet should be, respectively, but passing that info into VBA has me really stumped. (Using indirect in the Page Setup menu doesn't work after the value has changed, it changes the value to a static reference, which is bizarre). I suspect I'd want to use the Sub Workbook_BeforePrint, but I'm not 100% on that. I will generally have 3 or more specific sheets selected using a button-triggered macro that gets a cell value of sheet names and selects those sheets.
I'm trying to write a macro to select all the Sheets in a Workbook, and set some properties [Auto ColumnWidths, Landscape, and Fit to 1 page wide] for all of them. I don't know the names of the sheets, nor how many there will be - this part is tagged on the end of a long macro that creates new files and pastes various data into them. The code below only seems to work on the Active sheet - not any of the others selected. Curiously, I can set a specific column width for all sheets, but not Auto Widths.
With ActiveWorkbook Sheets.Select With ActiveSheet.PageSetup .PrintTitleRows = "$1:$1" .Orientation = xlLandscape .Zoom = False .FitToPagesWide = 1 .FitToPagesTall = False End With End With
Sheets.Select ActiveWindow.Zoom = 80 ' This line works! Cells.Select Selection.RowHeight = 13.5 Selection.EntireColumn.AutoFit Columns("C:C").Select Selection.ColumnWidth = 34 ' This line works Range("A1").Select
I am working on a userform in which user can select diffrent sheets for print. I want all selected sheets to be printed in a single pdf and it could be great if it not ask for a path to save file.
I need to write a macro to set the print area to the first two columns (A & B), and the last 12 columns (the last column may change). In both cases I need to print all rows (start is row 1, last row is variable). I am trying to achieve something like the "Freeze Pane" effect with the printer. The first two rows contain column headers (dates). The first two columns contain information that needs to be included on the printout, whilst the last 12 columns contain the most recent data. Various cells withing the selected ranges may be blank, but no row or column will be entirely blank.
I have a workbook that has multiple sheets for patients (each named with SSN) with all such sheets having identical structure. I have the VBA code below that prints all sheets. Each sheet will have 7 pages when printed. Is it possible to amend the code so that it prints page 1 and page 3 from each sheets only?
VB: Sub PrintSpecificSheets() Dim WS As Worksheet, mySheets() Redim mySheets(0)
I am trying to find a way to select and print multiple sheets based on a criteria or a list. I have a large worksheet with many sheets. Each sheet falls into one of three categories, and I want to be able to automatically print all tabs in each category. I have all of the sheets rolled up into a summary where I have access to all of the sheet name and print criteria.
I'm in the process of placing a button on sheet#1 that will print any of the 5 sheets in the workbook that have been used... a sheets use is determined by cell I53 being > 0...
I've initially used this code to test I53, but it shows all sheets, regardless of I53 value...
Sub PrntUsedShts() Dim ws As Worksheet
For Each ws In Worksheets If Range("I53").Value > 0 Then ws.PrintPreview End If Next ws End Sub
Ideally, the finished code will send all selected sheets collated as a single print job... Should I be looking at putting test positive sheets into a sheet array?, then printing the sheet array?
Once again, your valued input is greatly appreciated...
in creating a macro so that I can print from sheet 1 to sheet name "XYZ" as an array. In other words I want to print selected sheets as one command so that page number in the footer will automatically change.
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
using a macro to print all sheets in a workbook. During this process each sheet has a print area to print as well. A button will be placed on all the sheets. No matter which sheet you are on I would like it to print all sheets. The code I have works I think, but I would like to not have to go by sheet names in case there are some added later, etc. Also, is there a way to do this without going to each sheet and the user seeing all this? Would like to do it in the "background" so to speak.
Sheets("sheet1").Select 'Range("B2").Select Range("H1:K1").EntireColumn.Hidden = True Range("O1:S1").EntireColumn.Hidden = True Range("V1:W1").EntireColumn.Hidden = True Range("Y1:AC1").EntireColumn.Hidden = True Range("L1:N1").EntireColumn.Hidden = False 'Print range column A thru AD ActiveSheet.PageSetup.PrintArea = "A1:AD84" With ActiveSheet.PageSetup .Orientation = xlPortrait .Zoom = 58 ' .FitToPagesWide = 1 .BlackAndWhite = True .PrintComments = xlPrintNoComments .CenterHorizontally = True End With ActiveWindow.SelectedSheets.PrintOut Copies:=1, Preview:=False, collate:=True
I am working on a "3 worksheet" excel workbook. The first worksheet does not require any header.
I'd like to enter data into the second sheet (say cells A1 and B1), and use VBA to pull from those cells to generate the same custom header for both the second and third worksheets.
For example, I'd like the header to pull "# 123456" from cell A1, and "789" from B1 in sheet two, putting them in a centered header for both sheets two and three (same reference cells from sheet two for both, not new values of A1 and B1 from sheet 3 for sheet 3 header). I'd like to format in a way that looks something like this:
#123456
789
I'm currently running Excel 07, and was able to pull from a cell on one worksheet into that sheet's header but couldn't get it to span multiple sheets.
I have created a macro that loops through and creates an array of the visible sheets. Now I would like for it to print each of those sheets out. I think my main mistake is in my declaration of the array type, since I have not worked with arrays much before.
how to make the following code operable. Currently when I run it I'm getting a "Run-time error (9): Subscript out of range" error.
I have a monthly report. Worksheets for each month, each row is a type of fruit (column A), and the number sold (column B). A new worksheet is added each month with the information. I also have a Summary worksheet - running total of all months: Type of Fruit (column A), Number sold (column B), and Total of all fruits - number sold. I would like a formula for the Summary worksheet - to match that fruit (column A) to any of the other worksheets - matching the fruit (column A), and bring back the number sold (column B). (note some apples are Fuji and some are Honey crisp - those would be totaled together)
ex: Tab = Jan 14 Fuji apples3 Bananas2 grapes9 TOTAL14
I am trying to come up with a way to print out data that is variable in the amount of rows to print.
1. Cells C1 thru M6 is heading of report 2. Cells C7 thru M400 all have formulas and display information only when criteria in Column C in each row is met, if condition is not met it displays no informtion. (There lies my problem).
I need a way to print out only the area that information is displayed in and skip the areas that are not displayed. (Currently I have hard coded the print range using the largest report)
Creating a macro to compare 2 sheets in a workbook and print the differences to a 3rd sheet.
Each sheet will have the same number of fields, 5 columns with the header in the first row.
All values in the cells are integer except for the last field which will be a character.
The key is the value in the 2nd column. If it's not in the other sheet, then it's a new record. If it's a new record then highlight it a color depending on what sheet contains the new record. Now if the key is the same in both sheets, then check the other columns to see what's different. If there is a difference, print the record for both sheets in the third sheet and highlight the differences. I attached a sample of what I want.
I have a form that users will fill in, and I need to print a set number of labels (all identical) based on the info that is entered.
I have the form set up with data validation and indirect references(Lists on a separate sheet)
Example...
User enters in: Customer name Product name Lot # PO# Date made Number of items
From there I have a separate set of cells that reference the above info formated to how I want the label to appear when printed.
Now, I need to repeat that label the set number of times (# entered in as "number if items") in a label sort of format (not sure if a mail merge will work for this??)
Then, print off and stick identical labels onto each part that is manufactured per PO/Date etc.
my macro comes up with an error on the Consolidate line that says 'Cannot add duplicate source reference'. I have a workbook with a variable number of tabs and I want to consolidate-sum (not copy and paste) the data from the various sheets onto a summary sheet within the same workbook. I'm at the point where it all works fine until it hits Consolidate.

I have attached the xls. I have an input sheet with 3 columns to enter data. Each column is linked to a separate worksheet with a formula (Carrys 1000 rows long). I need to be able to pull the populated data from those 3 worksheets and paste into 1 column continuously on another worksheet so all data is on top of another without any spaces.
I made an if statement so that if there isn't data pulling from the input sheet the a blank cell is left to indicate the last row to copy data from and paste on the final sheet.
I am looking to design a Userform with "OptionButtons" in which the user selects 1 of 4 print formats. I was going to have one single button that stimulates the userform mentioned which allows the user to pick from 4 options. Then there will be a commandbutton1 on userform which allows them to "Print Preview" the selected print style and a commandbutton2 on the userform which allows them to "Print" with the chosen style. The following are the 4 Print Formats:
Print1:
.2 Margins (Top/Bottom/Sides) Fit all Columns To Page Rows 1-17 are Normal
From row18 on every row with text in columnA becomes a print break with row16 as a header before it. (the point of this is that row16 is a header but since it will always on the first page and row17 is a text row that would kick it on the next page)
Print2:
.2 Margins (Top/Bottom/Sides) Fit all Columns To Page Cells A1:F15 select fit to page and center (This will be the 1st page) Row16 becomes header for the rest of the sheets. Then each row with text in columnA becomes a print break
Print3:
.2 Margins (Top/Bottom/Sides) Fit all Columns To Page Cells A1:F15 select fit to page and center (This will be the 1st page) Row16 becomes header for the rest of the sheets. Then each row with text in columnA becomes a print break. Hide ColumnE and ColumnF after row15.
Print4:
.2 Margins (Top/Bottom/Sides) Fit all Columns To Page Cells A1:F15 select fit to page and center (This will be the 1st page) Row16 becomes header for the rest of the sheets. Then each row with text in columnA becomes a print break. Hide Column A, B, E, F after row15.
This works: row(x).select But this doesn't: row(x:"100").select. I also need to do substitute both beginning and end range with a variable: row(x:n).select And multiple ranges: row(x:n, a:b)
I've tried tried numerous combinations of quote marks and parentheses and nothing works. What is the proper syntax?
