I would like a macro to print 2 sheets in a workbook. I can write the macro that will select the sheets I want, but I don't want it to just go and print because depending on if the user wants it printed in color, b&w, etc.
they have to choose a different color. What code do I use to open the print dialog box?
I have a (semi-inherited) macro that prints different pages of a workbook, based on whether and what their entries are. One of the pages contains a text box, where users will enter different lengths of text. When the macro runs, it prints right the first time but also "resizes" the text box so that future print attempts only print part of it.
I put "resize" in quotes because the text box does not appear to change shape. However, when I look at its properties it suddenly says it is much smaller than it was before (and still appears to be).

FWIW, I'm using Excel 2003.
Here's the code in question (the problem is on the "narrative" page):
Sub CLCMprintall() ' prints all pages (with data) on the CLCM spreadsheet Dim x, a, b, c, d, e, f, g, h, i As String Dim y, z, q As Integer
ActiveSheet.Unprotect Password:="***"
'notes active cells on each sheet to return cursor there afterwards. x = ActiveSheet.Name Sheets("page 1").Select a = ActiveCell.Address(True, True) Sheets("narrative").Select d = ActiveCell.Address(True, True) '(repeat for other worksheets - also sets values for Loan2Amt, Q & Z, 'which govern whether other unrelated sheets need to be printed.) ' 'tests whether there is text in Overflow sheet and sets print area if there is If q 0 Then Call OverflowPrintArea.............
Is there a built-in dialog box that allows the user to select a range by clicking and dragging with the mouse? I'd like to use this in my code and have the dialog box return either a range object or and address that I can use in a range assignment statement. I'm looking for something like what you get when you select Insert-->Name-->Define. The "Refers To" text box at the bottom automatically updates as the user clicks and drags across cells. Is there such a thing accessible via VBA?
I am trying to white a macro that takes a file path from a cell value and opens that file. When there is no file path in the cell, it prompts a dialog box. This part is pretty much working. However, I would like the file path selected from the dialog box to be added to the cell in the original workbook.
Sub Reports() Dim path1 As String path1 = Range("B20").Value On Error Resume Next 'checks if there is already a file path' Workbooks.Open filename:= _ path1, Updatelinks:=1 'if no file path then opens dialog box' If Error.Number <> 0 Then Application.Dialogs(xlDialogOpen).Show Arg1:="*.*"
I am making custom time sheets to suit our agriculture business - these excel sheets get sent out to the different farm managers who send back in staff times.
This code below is brilliant and works perfect for our needs. However I need to be able to emailPDF the sheets not print.How / where do I change code so the selected sheets go to Save & Send via email as a PDF instead of going straight to the default printer .( hard copy )
VB: Option Explicit Sub SelectSheets() Dim i As Integer Dim TopPos As Integer Dim SheetCount As Integer Dim PrintDlg As DialogSheet
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 looked at many different examples of uses of the average function but I haven't found any examples of what I need it to do. Here is the code I am trying to use, but I am getting some errors.
I've attached a sheet. In this sheet I would like to print the selection....C9:17 and BL9:BW17. I would like to print it onto a PDF and I would like to expand it so it is very visible. Actually, it doesn't need to be PDF. If I could just print this selection and make it visible that would work. I had a problem using print selection because the columns are separated. I also tried fit to page but that makes it too small.Mod's note: file attachment removed at OP's request
I seem to be getting myself into a complete muddle as was wondering if someone to help me with a Printing problem.
On the attached sample, i'm trying to write a macro to print the selection but only print where the status is "Active" to the ned of the selection. However, the spreadsheet is changing on a daily basis i.e. new lines being added and lines being taken off.
So, to take potential of user error out i wanted a macro to print the "active" selection.
i have a buttion on a whole heap of worksheets that is linked to this sub. I want it to print the range on one sheet of paper. though it will print over 4 sheets.
I tried recording a macro but I am keep on getting an error. I need a macro which will print the selection of A1:D28 on a worksheet called Invoice. The print needs to be scaled at 165% of its normal size. i need it to be normal margins and if possible any printer.
There's a macro I'm trying to figure out for a calendar I'm working on. Here's what it has to do.
1.) Selects the cells for the current month (I assume the user would have to click on the current month itself) plus the two upcoming months. i.e. November, plus December and January.
2.) Sets the selected cells as the area to print, then prints those cells.
If there's anything that might be a challenge, the numbers for the days are all text boxes, if that makes a difference. I've been experimenting with different formulas with no luck.
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. ).
Is there are macro that will allow me to: Clear Print Area, then Set Print Area based on user selection and finally print the Print Area to fit 1 page? I tried to search for solutions, but couldn't find any that matched my problem.
I have a macro that copies my selected area on one workseet, for example B2:M120 on Sheet 1, over to A10 on sheet 2, then prints sheet 2 and then clears the data that was just added leaving sheet 2 as a "clean" template for next use.
Is it possible to add code to the print macro that would look at column G of my selected area and print all rows that had say "cat" in column G on one sheet, all rows with "dog" on another set of sheet 2's, and repeats until all rows of my original selection have been printed?
I thought maybe paste the whole selection then filter, hide unwanted rows, print, repeat but I can't figure out how to repeat and alternate what rows are hidden.
I'm open to any way of doing this, we currently do it by repeating the "select area" but as my real life use replaces "cat" and "dog" with a 9 digit number we are having issues with some rows getting skipped while others get doubled up.
I am using Selection.ClearContents command to clear data from column F and G. I know the last row as 230 but the starting row is the first empty cell which I find using Do While loop in range F31 to F230. The variable that stores the first empty cell number is 'r'.
I need to create a macro that clears the contents of a range of cells. However, that range of cells is variable.
I know my starting cell (C9) and I know the selection goes over to column Z every time but the number of rows I want to clear after that may change.
Also, whatever that first cleared range is, I would need to skip the row below it then clear the same number of rows below that. (not entire row of course, just the ones from column C to column Z)
I have a macro that prints out schedule information for my production lines. I recorded the macro and made a few changes. What it does is print out the page header, delete about a dozen lines and then print the remainder of the schedule. Often the the remainder of the schedule is not all relevant data as production has completed orders. What i want to do is, using an input box, ask the user what worksheet row he wants the body of the schedule to start printing from. Here is what i have now.
I have a spreadsheet used for costing jobs giving a detailed breakdown of parts and time. Sometimes the customer requests a copy so I'm creating a macro for my boss that prints the spreadsheet, less the hidden columns that I don't want the customer to see. This I can manage.
My question is this: Is there a way within the macro to set the print area to change to where the last cell is automatically?
Each spreadsheet is a different length dependent upon the work required and setting a larger print area to compensate would use excess paper and ink.
I searched but didn't find exactly what I needed. I have a workbook with 31 sheets. It is a price guide with each category on a separate worksheet. I figured out how to list the sheets on a separate tab. What my client wants is the ability to:
1. select certain categories for printing, the ToC, Cover and backcover pages have to print in every case
2. the ToC has to change depending on the sheets selected.
I'd rather write some code and give him an an easy command button rather then teaching him how to select non-concurrent sheets and printing only active sheets.
What I'm really stuck on is the updating of the ToC with active sheets only (category and starting page which changes depending on pages selected).
If the weight selected is between the ranges e.g 1.5kg for England so that it returns the higher value 10.69. At the moment if I put in the vlookup formula it returns the lower value of 9.60.
How do I change the selection of a range with a variable, and not a hardcoded number in XL2003? I have to update a set of spreadsheets every month, and it's a hassle to have to constantly open my pivot table worksheet, copy, open the summary worksheet, paste ... etc. etc. etc. The code below is my attempt at creating a ComboBox with "January, February, March, etc." and every time I select a particular month it will automatically copy data from my pivot table worksheet into my new summary worksheet in the correct column. The range of data from my pivot table worksheet will never change, so I have no problem hardcoding that in, but based on which month is selected will alter which column the data goes in in the new worksheet.
I want to be able to write code for one month (say January) and then when I want to use a different month (say February) I can just change the column number and call up the originial January code.
Private Sub ComboBox1_Change() Dim ColNum ' This is the variable I want to change based on which month is called If ComboBox1.Value = "January" Then ColNum = 1 ' Column number for Column A- Where my January column is Elseif ComboBox1.Value = "February" Then ColNum = 2 ' Column number for Column B- Where my February column is ' etc. etc. for each month End If Call January End Sub
Private Sub January() ' Just a quick msgbox to make sure the previous macro is calling this one MsgBox "Is this macro running?", vbQuestion + vbYesNo, "Check"...........................
I am trying to create a command button on my userform that will allow me to print all the records in the worksheet....in other words it should only print the rows with data......
*my worksheet is called "complaintData" - this is hidden and not active sheet. *I have columns A to J with information, with heading from A1:J1. *I want to be able to print all the rows with values in column A. (Not all the columns except "A", will have values for every record....some may be blank for some records... *I want all the columns to fit in in one page with headings (A1:J1) being first row on every new page..... *page setup should be landscape...
I have tried a few codes from this forum, but not sure where I have goofed up....am still trying learn VBA.....would appreciate if anyone can fix this code for me....cheers
Private Sub cmdPrint_Click() Sheets("ComplaintData").Visible = False Dim ws As Worksheet Set ws = Worksheets("complaintdata")
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 write a bit of code that will allow me to clear some sheets. One of the sheets has formula for x number of rows, and these need to be left intact. Under these forumla there is an area where data is pasted, and this needs to be cleared becfore starting the process.
Colum A is blank, apart from cell A1 (the column heading) and another cell (variable row) with the value 'Paste here'. I've used this variable cell in other macros on the sheet as a marker, so need this to stay. I was going to use this code below, but I don't know how to tell it to select from the current active cell to the bottom of the spreadsheet.
