Set Print Area For Range Bounded By Row & Column Header
Dec 4, 2007
I want to select a range in a spreadsheet and then set it as the print area. the last column I want to be selected is contains the text data "ABC" in row 1 and is the only column with data "ABC" in row 1. The last row I want to select contains the text data "DEF" in column 1 and is the only row in column 1 containing the data "DEF". Basically I want to select the range [A1:column("ABC")row("DEF")] and then set it as the print area.

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.

I have some code which selected a certain amount of columns depending on
whether they contain values or not. Once I have this range set and I select
it I want to set this as the print area. I am not quite sure how to do
this. for example I tried:
rngUnion.Select
ActiveSheet.PageSetup.PrintArea = ActiveCell. CurrentRegion.Address

I have a sheet with a top portion like a fax cover letter.
Starting at row 17 I merged from B thru L.
This is where the user will type in a message.
The message can extend several pages long, so I merged about 100 rows same as 17.
My sheet only will extend to column N.
There may be instances where the user may leave several rows blank in between what they type.
I am looking for a way to set the print area from A1 to the last row of data and not the last row with formatting.
I have a command button the user is supposed to click when they want to print the sheet.
This is acceptable, but if there was a way around that it would be better.
Note:
I do have code in the sheet that will automatically adjust the row height in the merged cells if the data gets too wide. I do not want to upset that.
I have just recently started to learn VBA, so my knowledge of the various commands and syntax is limited.
This is what I have right now that doesn't work.
Private Sub CommandButton2_Click()
Dim LastCell, DataCells As Range
Dim LastDataRow As Integer
Set LastCell = ActiveSheet.Cells.SpecialCells(xlLastCell)
Set DataCells = ActiveSheet.Cells.SpecialCells(xlconstants)
LastDataRow = DataCells.Cells(DataCells.Cells.Count).Row
ActiveSheet.PageSetup.PrintArea = Range(ActiveSheet.Cells(1, 1), ActiveSheet.Cells(LastDataRow, LastCell.Column)).Address
ActiveWindow.SelectedSheets.PrintOut Copies:=1, Collate:=True
End Sub

I need to use macro to find the last column index number within the print area. My cell sizes change depending on the data entered so the last column in the print area changes. The code I want to implement involves putting a title at the top of the page and creating a border that spans the width of the page. This is what I have so far:
LastColumn = Cells.SpecialCells(xlLastCell).Column ' replace this with last column in print area
Rows("2:2").Select
Selection.Insert Shift:=xlDown
Range(Cells(1, 1), Cells(2, LastColumn)).Select
With Selection
.MergeCells = True
.HorizontalAlignment = xlCenter
.VerticalAlignment = xlCenter
End With
With Selection.Borders(xlEdgeLeft)
.LineStyle = xlContinuous
.Weight = xlMedium
.ColorIndex = xlAutomatic
End With

I am trying to dynamically set a print area based upon a formula from the contents of 2 cells. What I need is the print area range to be C1 to Ix, where x is the result of ((A2/B2)+2).

i am trying to come up with some code to print many sheets in a workbook based on user clicking a button on each sheet.
I would like the code to be reusable and based on the activesheet, this way I don't need to write code specific for each sheet.
My first thought was to use something like ActiveSheet.UsedRange, but the rows may span several pages, so I'll need the header row to repeat on each page
Here's a snippet I recorded
ActiveSheet.PageSetup.PrintArea = "$A$2:$E$12"
With ActiveSheet.PageSetup
.PrintTitleRows = "$2:$2"
But I can think of a way to use UsedRange but drop out about rows 1-4 which do not need to be printed on the reports
Number of Cols varys on every sheet as well and diff start/stop cols
Ex one sheet A:G, another sheet C:T

I have a template worksheet that several people use and print from.
The range on this worksheet used is A1:C499
I want the VBA to look at tha last cell that is populated in column A and set the print area to suit.
i.e. the last cell used in column A could be A277. then I'd want the print area to be A1:C277.

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.

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.

How would a code look like to select a range with a column header on top. in the code you provided, it selected the entire W column. How would you select the range given that the W column was called Address?
Sheets("Sheet1").Select
Range("W1").Select
Range(Selection, Selection.End(xlDown)).Name = "Problem_Area"

I have a table (A1:C5)
A1:C1 contain the table headers
A2:C5 contain the data
A6 contains the value I want to search for I use this formula to return the column header of A6 A6=INDEX(A1:C1,SUMPRODUCT((A2:C5=A6)*COLUMN(A2:C5))) Now, if there are duplicate values in A2:C5, this will return more than one column header What I need is a vba code to view a msgbox with all column headers returned in this case

I've got numerical data in columns A through AF, starting in row 4. I need a formula, starting in AG4 that I can drag down. I need the formula to look back across the row until it gets to the last posistive number, then return the column header of that column (the column headers are in row 3)
so for example
Header row
Jan Feb Mar Apr May Jun Jul Aug
Data
0 3 0 0 8 0 0 0
the formula would return May in this example as 8 is the las positive value and the column header for that column is 8. There are no blank cells in the data.

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.

I have an excel sheet with lots of rows (it goes up to BAA) I would like to be able to print certain parts with a VBA
for instance if Sales is selected from a drop down (lets say A1) the macro will print
Area : C7:Z500
Scaling: fit to 1 page
Orientation: landscape
Color: Color
or if Sales next year is selected
Area : C7:D7 AA7:AZ500
Scaling: fit to 1 page
Orientation: landscape
Color: Color
etc....

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.

Making a macro that selects active cells (so anything with text in) and sets that as the print area.
Using the default builder I have:
Range("A1:AA44").Select
Range(Selection, Selection.End(xlDown)).Select
ActiveWindow.SmallScroll Down:=30
Range(Selection, Selection.End(xlUp)).Select
Range("A1:AA692").Select
ActiveSheet.PageSetup.PrintArea = "$A$1:$AH$692"
[Code]...
Can trim this code with something
Range("any containing data").Select
ActiveSheet.PageSetup.PrintArea = "selection"

copying a document that was made in word into Excel. I set the print area and page size but it seems I can keep adding columns. When I check the print preview it still shows the one page but it appears wider.Will it automatically create a new page if the page size limit is reached?

I can define a name to calculate the desired Print Area for a page. For example, print_area_notes: =Notes!$A$1:INDEX(Notes!$A:$Z,final_Note,5). I can then use that name when defining the Print Area via Page Setup.
The problem is it calculates the cell range immediately and substitutes that in the Print Area field. When print_area_notes changes the actual Print Area does not. Is there some formula I can enter in Print Area that will allow this value to be set dynamically? I have tried setting Print Area to =indirect("print_area_notes") but it doesn't like that. I could, but prefer not to, write a VBA function to set the Print Area but even then how do I set it to be called automatically? I'd prefer to be able to enter a formula and do it without VBA code because you then have the security issues every time the spreadsheet is opened.

I have 2 codes that set up different "print areas". Every time i run one of the codes the print area doesn't get set unless i run the same code again. So if i run code A which will set the print area with no issues and then right afterwards i run code B then code B's print area won't get set unless i run code B a 2nd time. And if i now i run code A, the same issue happens and the print area to Code A won't get set properly unless i run the code again.
Here is part of the code that discusses the print area:

I'm trying to dynamically set the print area for a given worksheet. I use the code below and it works perfectly when it's executed upon opening the tab; however, the worksheet has filters which may lengthen/shorten the required print area.
Is it possible to execute the code below when the user selects print rather than when opening the tab?

I'm using Excel 2003.
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'm looking for code that would set print area when printing the output of my Macro. Print area will always be the same for all two pages. I need to display first two tables on page one, and the next two on page two. All four tables will always contain the same number of columns and rows. I'm trying to automate this process as much as possible.
