I am looking for a method to remove the shading on a sheet that helps the user to fill in the required date but when I print, I want the shading to be removed or not printed when I hit the print button.
I would like to just use the default print but on excel rather then created a new button.
Is it possible to have a cell colored with a fill color in the spreadsheet, but not have the fill color print when the sheet is printed?
View 9 Replies View RelatedI have a workbook with macro code which creates another workbook and then copies the formatting from the active sheet to the new workbook (single sheet). Once the formatting has been copied, the new workbook has a print area reference to a separate worksheet in the original workbook.
I have tried clearing the print area using the button on the Page Layout ribbon, but it has no effect. If I check links I find a link to the original workbook.
The only way I have found to break this link is to add a new print area on the new workbook. This does not remove the earlier print area reference, but it does break the link.
I find this all rather bizzare. No doubt there is a perfectly rational explanation. What I would like is some code that will remove this reference to the unrelated worksheet in the original workbook.
The bright colors work well, but when they print the sheet on a laserjet black/white printer, the colors make the data almost impossible to read.
Is there a way to allow them to print the sheets and, by default, not print the background fill colors?
I need a listbox or combobox in an excel form whos list is created from 2 ranges. for example first name is range a2:a500 second name is rangne b2:b500. the list box should list both coloums in a single list and return the row number. better still if it does not list blank ranges. i have never used a list or combo box before so please explain in terms a simplton can undrstand
View 7 Replies View RelatedI have a worksheet that when a row changes based on the value of column B, I want to remove all of the formulas found in the row but keep the existing values, and then change the color of the row.
In the sample file attached, when the value is "Closed", that row will keep the existing values and then it gets grayed out. Rows that are still marked "Open" need to retain the formulas in case other information changes.
I have tried copy/paste special using autofiltering but that doesn't work because of the hidden lines. This file changes on a daily basis and I need a quick way to update the file.

All sheets are basically the same except some minor values, names and addresses. There is one page per sheet and all pages are in portrait format. The print preview shows all the pages in order but when I print it, it makes multiple print jobs of 1 to 2 pages each and prints them all out of order. I don't know why it is splitting up the workbook or why it changes the order. I print and reorder these weekly, which is a major pain. It comes out in the same order each time but it is the wrong order.

in VBA.
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:

Since upgrading to Windows 2007 (I was already using Excel 2007) I am having issues with the content in the cells on the worksheet not appearing the same on Print Preview and when I print. On the worksheet the cell show to be at the best fit both horizontally and vertically. When I look at the contents under print preview, the contents are squashed from the top and cut off from the left. This happens whether I have the format in Top or Central align and is even worse if I use Bottom align. It is also somewhat worse if I have thickened boarders.
I am using TrueType Fonts.
Using Excel 2010: I have 2 rows (A4:J4 & A5:J5) selected as print titles that I would like to be printed at the top of selected pages. Currently, my document is 3 pages long, and I would like to have the print titles only applied to the first 2 pages. More data will be added in the future on pages 1&2 but the last page (whatever page number it ends up being) should not contain the selected print titles.
View 2 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.

I have a pretty large spreadsheet set up that invoices our clients. A few tabs in the front allow us to globally invoice if we did certain services for all clients and then we can also go into each tab and invoice each client for specific services performed on their property. Some invoices are two pages long and other may be up to seven pages long and anywhere in between... So that's the first issue, how do you find how many pages to print and then set the print range for each invoice.
The second issue centers around being able to print all the invoices at one time.
The spreadsheet is set up in this manner: A recap sheet we print to check off that each invoice was printed; an IIF statement to get the Excel info into QuickBooks; a template to set up each invoice's information with dates, dates services were performed,etc.; then there are five Global billing tabs where I can invoice all accounts globally or by their type of account (Saturday or Sunday open, 24/7 etc.); then we get into the tabs for each account. Each account has its own tab with an invoice loaded inside where we can itemize the services they received. Inside all these individual account tabs we have set up 'Zone' tabs where we can invoice all the clients we set up within a zone. There are about twenty of these tabs. Then at the end I have a few more tabs that aren't used any longer, there are about ten tabs there...
Is there a way I can hit Print and get all of my invoices to print out at one time versus having to go into each and every tab, set the print range, and then hit Print for all 250ish invoices?
This is the biggest complaint I have right now about the invoicing program I have set up...
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)
I have a "submit" button macro which user would click after he has finished his input. This macro would update a reference number on the worksheet named "orange" and then print out this worksheet.
My purpose is "orange" is printed out with a reference number.

how to enter data in non-adjacent cells using a fill command.
Here is what I am trying to do:
in the column, I am holding ctrl button to select every 10th cell down the sheet. I need to enter a date in every selected cell that is exactly 7 days apart, i.e., 11/7/08 then 11/14/08 then 11/21/08, etc.... but no other dates or data.
I have tried to figure out a way to do this other than manually, but am confounded.
I want my worksheet to require validation of entry data before printing, so I decided to use the "Workbook_BeforePrint" event, and display a simple dialog box with an "ok" or a "cancel" button as input options.
The problem is that, as coded, "cancel" button does not cancel the print.
I have a spreadsheet with 28 visible tabs. When I select all tabs and print, I get 3 cover (or banner) pages...I like having the first banner page, but the other two are in the middle of my report. I assume excel is sending 3 print jobs and I'm not sure why.
I've seen a couple of posts regarding this issue when using VBA, but I'm not using VBA...just selecting all the sheets and sending a single print job, but get 3 banner pages.
I have found a very useful UDF for removing non-alpha characters from strings. (See below, Credit for posting to Stanley D Grom - Ozgrid post ´Removing Non-alpha Characters From Text´).
Option Explicit
Private Function RemoveCharacters(InString As String) As String
Dim intLoopCounter As Integer
Dim intStringLength As Integer
Dim intASCIIVal As Integer
intStringLength = Len(InString)
InString = LCase(InString)
For intLoopCounter = 1 To intStringLength
intASCIIVal = Asc(Mid(InString, intLoopCounter, 1))
If intASCIIVal >= 97 And intASCIIVal <= 122 Then
RemoveCharacters = RemoveCharacters + Mid(InString, intLoopCounter, 1)
End If
Next intLoopCounter
End Function
Two requests:
1. Could the UDF be modified such that any part of a string contained within brackets is also removed (e.g. "NLGA High Street (West-Enfield), EN6" becomes "nlgahighstreeten")?
2. Can an argument be added to the format of the UDF, such that numbers (0 to 9) are either included or excluded (e.g. RemoveCharacters(A1,1) where the argument ´1´ would include any numbers (0 to 9), so "NLGA2003 High Street (West-Enfield), EN6" becomes "nlga2003highstreeten6")? ´blank´or ´0´would exclude these numbers, i.e. would return "nlgahighstreeten"
Is there anyway to automatically fill the empty added cell after inserting a row without using the fill handle? For example, for a series of numbers: [URL]
2. Drag the fill handle Selected cell with fill handle across the range that you want to fill.
Or running balance: [URL]
2. Extend the running balance formula into the new rows by selecting the last cell in the balance column and then double-clicking the fill handle.
(if (c2 >= '1') AND (j2 >= '1') then '20' else (if (c2 >= '1') OR (j2 >= '1') then '10' end) end)
c2 & j2 being my two cells.
In English:
If C2 or J2 have any value print 10, if both have a value print 20.
I have a few macros that run in a sheet. After the macros are finnished I would like to present to the user a msgbox that asks if they would like to print. if "Yes" is selected, the print macro runs. If "No" is pressed then nothing happens.

I have a workbook that has a total of 44 tabs; tab 1 = 'Summary' and then 'T1' through 'T43'. When I go to print the workbook, I do what I always do with other workbooks: I select all sheets and hit Print. On this workbook, tabs 'T15' through 'T43' print first, and then 'Summary' through 'T13' print. Tab 'T14' does not print unless I print it separately from the rest.
I am not using any code to do this printing. I am right-clicking on a tab and selecting all sheets and then using the standard Excel toolbar or File...Print menus. When I view it in Print Preview with all sheets selected, T14 is there and looks fine. There are no extra page breaks that I can see.
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.
I'm trying to find the code for a macro that I can link to a button so that when i click on it - it opens up the print dialog box.
View 5 Replies View RelatedI have found a macro which disables all print features in excel. I have rwo other codes to print. When I put this macro, It also disables the print from the other macro. How can I use this code so that normal print features will be disabled but if someone takes the print from the macros, Print will be allowed. The code which disables the print is given below:
Private Sub Workbook_BeforePrint(Cancel As Boolean)
If PrtOK Then
Cancel = False
Else
MsgBox "Can't print from here!"
Cancel = True

in Excel where I can just hit PRINT , ONE TIME, and it prints out a copy immediately without having to show the print setup page and without any more confirmations?
I have a macro to print selected worksheets. It works well with one small problem. Whether I select the last worksheet or not, it always prints. I have tried a bunch of different ways to get around this, and all I succeeded in doing was getting a separate page printed first, then it would print the rest of my selection.
Sub PrintReportSelection()
Sheets("Actual").Select
Application.Goto Reference:="Actualprint"
ActiveSheet.PageSetup.PrintArea = "Actualprint"
Sheets("Deposits").Select
Application.Goto Reference:="Depositsprint"
ActiveSheet.PageSetup.PrintArea = "Depositsprint"
Sheets("Debt").Select
Application.Goto Reference:="Debtprint"
ActiveSheet.PageSetup.PrintArea = "Debtprint"
