Page Setup Changes On Different Machines
Jun 16, 2008
I set up a spreadsheet for use by my colleagues, on an Acer 17 inch portable. My colleagues all use HP or Dell with 15 inch monitors (and different graphics cards to mine). They all complained that when they opened my sheet, the page breaks were all in the wrong place. When they fixed the breaks on their machines and I opened those file, the breaks were now in the wrong place on mine, but were all right on theirs.
I have now "upgraded" to a Toshiba 17 inch laptop, and find that my original spreadsheet done on the Acer 17 inch shows page breaks in the wrong place on my new machine.
Is this something to do with display adaptors? If so, does anyone know what I can do to standardise this across the board? (My boss uses a 20 inch screen, and the sheet for him is even more wildly out).

This might seem a strange type of Excel question.
Some "Clever" person decided to create a site plan using MS Excel. It has been done quite well tbh. The problem with Excel is that I am unable to set a custom page size as this plan sits nicely on a paper size I made ealier through using Word. Guess what there is a custom page size selection on Word but not Excel. Is there a walkaround for this ?
The only other way I can do this, is to print off 2 a4 landcape print out but the printer goes to the next page and leaves a nasty seperation.
The copy of Excel i have is 2003 sp3

This part of my macro can be improved as it runs through over 100 sheets and takes a while?
Sheets.Select
For Each sh In Worksheets
With sh.PageSetup
.Zoom = False
.LeftFooter = "&F" & Chr(10) & "&A"
.CenterFooter = "&P of &N"
.RightFooter = "&D"
.FitToPagesWide = 1
.FitToPagesTall = 1
.LeftMargin = Application.InchesToPoints(0.15748031496063)
.RightMargin = Application.InchesToPoints(0.15748031496063)
.TopMargin = Application.InchesToPoints(0.393700787401575)
.BottomMargin = Application.InchesToPoints(0.354330708661417)

.BottomMargin = 1
.Orientation = xlPortrait
End With
Next sh

I visited all of the sites listed in the various posts & downloaded the XLM function help file.
My question is which syntax would I use? I'm wanting to add this to an existing macro (one that currently takes FOREVER). I think syntax 1 for worksheets & macro sheets, but I'm adding to visual basic, so maybe syntax 3 for vb modules?
Here's my existing code, if anyone wants to help me change this to XLM4pageSetUp ..

Is there a way to copy page setup settings from one workbook to another in VBA?
Example, I have a spreadsheet with 5 tabs with each of them different page setup options.
I have a second spreadsheet with 5 tabs where I need to make the page setup the same for each tab as the saved spreadsheet #1.
Background: This is a workaround for not being able to do copy/paste special values for pivot tables. My workaround is to save an .xlsx as a .mht then reopen and save as .xlsx. The only problem is that I lose page setups through the process.

I've managed to clean up my code removing all of the selecting to get the macro to run faster but it seems to slow down when it gets to the page setup. Is it because of the ActiveSheet? Is there a better way to code the following?

Once a week I need to export data to excel for a report. Some weeks there may be 30 rows and other weeks there may be 100 rows. I created a macro in the attached spreadsheet called 247 formattedV2 that seems to work fine except that it seems to get caught up in the Page Set up area. Here is the things that I have already in the macro that need to be accomplished.
1.All cells should be set to wrap text
2.Bottom justify text on row 1 for wrap text
3.Top justify all rows below it for wrap text
4.Adjust width of columns to exactly what is shown. If text runs over, it should wrap (shown in parenthesis)
5.Center all titles at the top of each column - show with grey background as indicated
6.Center text in columns A, B & C
7.Lighten grey cell in beteen each call (keep them in for all notes, they were accidently removed in this version)
8.Darken grey cell for column headers
Page setup: Set margins to narrow setting at .25 top, bottom, left, right. Set to landscape. Should be 1 page width, as many as necessary for height
Set for 8.5x14 paper (legal size)
Column Widths
•A - Last Call Date (w=10),
•B - Priority (w=7),.............

Application.ScreenUpdating = False
Dim wk As Worksheet
For Each wk In ThisWorkbook.Worksheets
wk.Activate
With ActiveSheet.PageSetup
.zoom = 90 End With
Range("A1").Select
Next wk
Sheets("data").Activate
End Sub

I am testing some code to have my sheets print consistently on different computers. I have
With ActiveSheet.PageSetup

ActiveSheet.PrintPreview
but it still previews at more than 1 page wide. Any suggestions?

I was curious if in VBA is there a way to switch in the page setup from Fit to X Page by X Page to the Scaling %.
I have set all my pages to fit 1 x 1 and would now like to know the scaling % (Zoom) of the sheets.

I generate several reports, all saved as seperate files, with the same page settings (margins, headers, footers, etc.). Is there any way to copy these page settings from one file to another so that I don't have to enter the settings seperately for each file?

I am looking to create an invoice details in excel where it correlates to the payment schedule. and the schedule is biweekly starting jan 3rd
I want to also match the start dates to each invoice date, where the invoice date is every 7 days (on a weekly basis)
But, I'm looking to have the invoice date driven in accordance to the employees start date
I'm doing this for a friend, but i'm not sure exactly what he is looking for, and what I have to do in excel
Does he just want me to keep on filling out employee 5 to finish the process?
Or should I create a separate column for each employee for it to be more detailed?
The Overall goal is to get an accurate cashflow
Attached can see what excel sheet looks like : excel.jpg‎

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.

I have code that sends a section of the worksheet and copies a macro button after selecting cell L52 by
Range("L52").Select
This code ran on another computer for months without problem. Now my coworker is getting this error "Runtime 1004 Paste Method of Worksheet Class failed."
The macro has ActiveSheet.Paste highlighted when I click debug.
This exact same worksheet running on my machine works perfectly. What can I look for? I checked the security settings on the rogue machine and Trust Access to VB project is clicked (to allow the code for button to transfer).

In recent weeks, when I've been asked to demonstrate excel applications which make use of buttons, I've found that on some machines the buttons will variably display as flat grey rectangles with no label, or boxes with red 'x's, or alternatively not appear at all. There seems to be no pattern since the variations have all happened on single machines, then not at all on similar machines.
So far it has only been company laptops (not my own machine), hooked up to overhead projectors which end up with this problem. I can't think of anything I would have done manually to disable the buttons from appearing.
Is this a known issue, or is this simply down to the user preferences and/or security settings?

I'm working on a spreadsheet that will connect to a firebird DB (Programmed using VBA and ADO intially).. The spreadsheet itself will reside on a server in a shared folder..
When a user opens the file up, I'd like for the spreadsheet to use the servers ODBC connection, and not the client machine.. This way we don't have to install the Firebird ODBC driver on each client workstation..

When I view a sheet under Page Break Preview, it shows the Page numbers in the centre of the Page. While I am aware that it would not print the page number I was wondering if there is an option to remove/hide the page numbers.

I have a sheet that changes the number of columns based on data from other sheets. This is the only sheet in the workbook that I will print out every day. I have it set right now to fit all columns on one page, however sometimes this will result in the bottom 1/3rd of the sheet not being used. If I use fit all rows on one page, then some of the columns will get cut off. Is there a way to scale in both directions? My guess is there is not, but I thought I would ask because it would work great for me if I could.

I have a report that I use and right now I have a command button that prints the report x2. What I would like to do is to have it print one in color and one in grayscale. I could do this I think with two different buttons, but I would like to utilize just one. I tried creating a macro but it did not pick up the fact that I changed the properties to black and white.

I am looking for a formula that will take data from one page and graph it on another page. The data I am trying to graph is arranged like so:
A B
1 q 2009.05.01
2 w 2009.05.02
3 w 2009.05.01
4 q 2009.05.01
I am looking for something that will look at column A and if the answer is "q" and then look at column B and if the answer is "2009.05.01" Excel will take that and count it in a specific cell on another page. In the case above, I want Excel to give me the answer of "2" in a designated cell.

Is it possible to Change Start Page Of Multi Page UserForm Based on 8 CommandButtons. on a WorkSheet, for example.
CommandButton1
UserForm1.MultiPage1.Value = 0
CommandButton2
UserForm1.MultiPage1.Value = 1
CommandButton3
UserForm1.MultiPage1.Value = 2
CommandButton4
UserForm1.MultiPage1.Value = 3
Could I use 1 multipage UserForm Instead of 8 UserFoms. Is it better to use 1 multipage UserForm with 8 pages or 8 UserForms. I dont know if this make sense or not?

I have a workbook that has 9 different tabs in it. Once all the information has been completed throughout the workbook, is there a code that could transfer specific data on each page to a different colum on that same page? I need to do this for 9 pages at one time. The information is listed differently on each page. I need to transfer data from the current data column to the previous data column once the entire workbook has been filed out.
