Macro To Set Print Area W/o Hidden Rows

Jun 28, 2008

We run a small gardening shop and use a simple spreadsheet to track of various things.

Row A contains headers, with the data following in the rows underneath. This table is now quite large, and we therefore hide 600 or so rows so that only rows with data from the last week is shown. We often need to print this for easy reference. I currently do this by highlighting the area I want and setting it as print area. The print therefore doesn't include hidden cells, which is what I need.

The problem we have, therefore, is that we have to manually select this print area each time. My experience with macros is VERY limited, to the point where I can record one which will select the print area and print. However, as the list gets longer and more rows are hidden the range obviously needs to change, and my simple macro will not keep up.

So my question is as follows. Is there a simple macro I could write to assign to a button that could "keep up" with the moving range? So either it always prints the header row and the, for example, 50 rows beneath (exlcuding the hidden ones), or, even better, it prints the header row and all rows with data in them that are relevant to the last week. Each row has a cell for the date it concerns so assume this may be possible?

How To Set Fixed Print Area In Excel So Cells Within Print Area Can Still Be Modified

Feb 12, 2013

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.

Don't Print Hidden Rows

Dec 15, 2009

I have a worksheet with hidden rows and Page Breaks. I know that the page breaks are causing my worksheet to print blank pages where I have page breaks and hidden rows.

I need the page breaks or the form just prints a mess... I tried eliminating them - but that didn't work at all.

I need a macro, which will examine the worksheet, look for the hidden rows, exclude them from the print area, and then Print the worksheet.

Non-contiguous Print Area Macro

Mar 18, 2009

I have a document which will require signatures after printed and want to keep the signature portion at the bottom of the page (currently rows 102-104). The problem is that the document will not need to be that long for every person and was wondering if it would be possible to have a macro that checks (C7:C:100), stops printing when it reaches the blank cells, and then prints those last 2 rows?

Macro To Select An Area, And Print Selection

Mar 15, 2009

I need a macro to select the area within the blue invoice sheet box, so everything within the blue invoice sheet box is selected , and then the selection should be printed. I will have hundreds of these invoice slips made, right below each other, i was wondering once this is done, is there an easier way to to have each invoice selected, instead of making a custom button for each sheet ( which selects just that invoice , and prints that selection ).

( Column m through v, starting at row 2 stoping at row 68, is the selection required in this example, everythign within the blue box. ).

Macro To Set Print Area Based On Cell Value(s)

Dec 8, 2011

I'm looking for a way to set the print area based on the value of a cell. I have a worksheet that prints a 12-page document, with data pulled from separate sheets. At the bottom of these twelve pages is an additional 2-page section that I only need in certain instances.

For example, if a cell (let's call it A1) on Sheet1 says "brown," I need the print area set to include these additional pages. If that same cell ('Sheet1'!A1) reads "yellow," however, I don't need to include the 2 pages in the print area.

Macro To Print Page Setup Area

Apr 2, 2014

My macro "prints" (saves) my sheet as Pdf-file.

I wish to improve this such as print/save is based on the active area I choose at the time.

Now I must hide a lot of columns (show only the ones I will print) before "printing":

Columns("A:Z").Select
ActiveSheet.PageSetup.PrintArea = "$A:$Z"

I just want to select some columns and set this range as a print.setup area.

Macro To Align Shapes To Print Area

May 29, 2014

I have a report that has a set template except that the number of columns change.

I have 3 rectangular shapes with text boxes inside each rectangle. The Shapes take up space vertically between row 8 and 15. In some reports the columns will change, the size of columns might change due to longer text. Is there a macro that will select all the shapes and text boxes and center them column wise between the print area?

User Defined Print Area Macro

Jun 25, 2008

I am looking to create a macro that will ask the user to define the row number of the beginning and ending locations that they would like to print. The columns are fixed in that the first starting row will be from column A and the ending row will be column M.

I have built a pipe tally used in the oilfield that keeps track of large amounts of pipe figures but very often is the case that there is the need to print a section of the tally data in reference to a certain depth. With the vast knowledge base located here I was able to build the first macro that prints the whole active tally but now I need something more refined.

Below is one of the copies of the macro that I was trying to get to work and it is missing a couple of things but the most important part shows up and that is how to get the inputbox variables into the defined print area.

Sub TallyVariable()
Dim StartRow As String
Dim EndRow As String
StartRow = InputBox("Please Enter Starting Row you would like to print")
EndRow = InputBox("Please Enter Last Row you would like to print")
ActiveSheet.PageSetup.PrintArea = "A" & StartRow.Address:"M" & EndRow.Address
End Sub

Setting Variable, Discontinuous Print Area In A Macro

May 29, 2009

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.

Print Previewed A Worksheet And Find A Tiny Image With A Small Portion Of The Print Area

Mar 27, 2009

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.

Allow Users To Print Hidden Sheet But Not Change Print Settings

Jul 2, 2009

I am having trouble disabling the "Preview" button when calling Application.Dialogs(xldialogprint) in XL2003. I have an xlSheetVeryHidden worksheet containing a form which is made visible programatically when the user wishes to print a copy (code below). I want the user to be able to have access to the functionality of the xlDialogPrint dialog (i.e. select desired print destination, number of copies, pages per sheet etc.) but I also want to prevent them modifying the page setup of the protected worksheet by initiating a preview from the print dialog.

Private Sub btnPrintReturnForm_Click()

Vb Code To Set Print Area And Print Out

Aug 24, 2007

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.

Print Only Used Area

Nov 9, 2006

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.

Print Area Always Changes -

Oct 2, 2007

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.

Excel 2010 :: How To Stop Macro From Sorting Hidden Rows

Feb 3, 2014

I recorded a simple Macro in Excel 2010 to sort data by the first Column, heading "Ref". I have assigned CTRL + e as the keyboard shortcut for this.

My sheet contains a number of hidden rows (as I hide rows when I have finished working on that issue).

When I run the macro, it does sort by the number of Column A, but also, the hidden rows are then shown again.

I realise I could just click on the A-Z sort button to stop this happening, but I really like being able to use keyboard shortcuts, which is why I tried the macro route.

I wondered if it is possible for the macro to ignore hidden rows?

Code:
This is the macro:
Sub SortByRef()
'
' SortByRef Macro
'
' Keyboard Shortcut: Ctrl+Shift+E

Range(Selection, Selection.End(xlUp)).Select
