Trying To Stop Invisible Cells From Printing
Aug 16, 2006I have a sheet set up with invisible values in certain cells. To make them invisible, I have coloured the font the same as the backround. The colour used is a light shade of yellow, colour index 36 I think.
Unfortunately, even though the values in these cells are invisble on the screen, they are visible when the sheet is printed. Is there any way to stop these cells from being printed? Note that they are scattered all around the place.
Stop Blank Rows Printing
Dec 1, 2006I tried to reduce the size of the printing area by deleting the blank rows. To achieve this I entered VBA code that appeared in the newsletter issue 3 after slightly modifying the code suiting to my need. But, while exeucting the code with all the parameters, xlCellTypeBlanks, xlCellTypeFormulas,xlErrors, the error as shown as a screen shot herein is populated. But, with the parameter,""xlCellTypeBlanks"" all the Blank Rows only got deleted and similarly only those rows containing Formulas are deleted, while the parameter is""xlCellTypeFormulas".
I want all the cells that contain xlFormulas, xlErrors and xlCellTypeBlanks as well be removed while executing the code given herein. But, if the range contains "xlFormulas" and "xlCell TypeBlanks", the rows containing blank cells are not removed and vice versa.
Stop Macro Button From Printing
Jan 27, 2008I made six macros, then I inserted a row at "A1" and created a box icon for each and assigned the macros. I went to the properties and told them not to print. Now I set my print range from "A3: J10" and they still print and show up in the print preview also.

Printing Multiple Workbooks With Printing Preference As Landscape
Jan 15, 2012I would like to know if there is a way to print several different workbooks at once but keeping my printing format which I would like to be Landscape and Fit to one page. Reason is simple as I work in a office where staff is handed in several jobs to do everyday. They finish the jobs and log all the info on the database. I log on to database and put all their daily diaries and because it is all over the place I have to go in each file and set printing preferences which takes an hour in the morning and hour in the evening. I could do with some sort of automation where all diaries are automatically printed in Landscape and Fit on one page.

Apr 11, 2008I have a report that is generated from a manufacturing process that looks like the example below. the report is 40 pages long when all the data is printed. i am looking for a way to only print this range if a dimension is "out of tolerance". if the dimension is within tolerance, there is always the "garbage" text of plus and minus. if every row is "within tolerance" in the range the cells in the OutTol column would all contain the "garbage" text but it will not always be identical. so, in summary, actual OutTol values = print and all "garbage" = not printed.

Dec 3, 2008I have a macro that opens Word pastes data in from Excel,
I want to be able to paste an arrowed line that I have drawn, also if it changes, I want it to reflect that change.
Here's the
Item("Direction1").Range.InsertAfter Worksheets("BSID").Range("Line3").Value
I have my bookmark in Word setup, I'm guessing that instead of a cell ref I need the name of the Line, which is "Line 3" in this case.
I ran a recorded macro and copied and pasted the line and instead of "Range" I got "Shapes" so I assumed that I just needed to change these words but no joy.

Deleting Shapes In VBA
Sep 18, 2012I have some shapes on a worksheet that need deleting on change of a combo box. Unfortunately I'm unable to use the below code as not all the shapes need deleting, just the ones that are named in a table on another worksheet.
For Each s In ActiveSheet.Shapes
s.Delete
Next s
Also not all the shapes named in the table will be on the worksheet as this depends on what is selected from the combo box.
Replacing Shapes With VBA
Aug 30, 2009I am a not too good programmer, but I construct chemotherapy regimens for my medical department. They are used to minimise the risk of wrong dosing to patients, etc. Every regimen is an .xlt file, and about a third of them (there are about 100) generate, in addition to pharmaceutical prescription, automatic letters to patients (for those regimens where patients administer oral dosing at home).
These patient-letters have the hospital's logo on them (the logo is a "shape").
However, the problem is that another hospital also wants to use my system. So I will have to replace all these logos with the other hospital's. I would like to do this in an automated way. I have received the other hospital's logo also as a shape.
I have already constructed a data-inserting macro in a separate file. This macro systematically opens each xlt file and replaces the text in key locations according to the file the macro is in (geographical names, etc.).
Is it possible to automatically replace the logo-shapes in a similar way, with these additional facts/wishes in mind:
1. There is always only one type of shape (a logo) in the xlt files.
2. Even though the shapes are exactly the same, it is possible the names are different.
3. The exact location for the shape is different in each xlt file, so I'd like the replacement to get the same top left coordinate as the one it replaces.
I have constructed 2 different files with the same data-inserting macro, each containing one of the logos (so I can change back to my own hospital) and geographic data. When the data-inserting macro is used, I'd like it to identify the shape in the data-inserting file (there's only one shape in this file), copy it, then identify the shape(s) in the present xlt file, and then replace these, in the exact same location.
Shapes With No Macro
Jul 10, 2006I have a shape that will have no macro. How do I prevent this shape
from being selected and prevent the message that no macro can be found,
when it is clicked?
With shapes that do have macros how do I disable them ?
How do I keep them visible but not have the mouse cursor change on mouse
over and not have the macro run on a mouse click.
I tried to use Enabled = false but apparently that property cannot be used
for a shape.
I need to toggle between enabled and disabled.

Using Shapes To Hide Zeros
Oct 17, 2007I want to write a macro that uses shapes to hide zeros; I have seen this done before but don't really understand how to set it up for myself.
On my sheet, there is a list of funds (Cells A4 to A79), a mixture of which will make up any given portfolio. Cell A1 houses a drop down list of portfolios. When I change cell A1, the numbers are automatically updated, as they are pulled from other worksheets in the spreadsheet. I want to be able to have the funds with zeroes next to them be automatically hidden. I believe there is a way to do this using shapes.

View 9 Replies View RelatedArrays Of Shapes Specs
Aug 17, 2008I have a collection of shapes (Rectangles) that are being grouped into a single diagram with the For each shape, index on name, group method. I am having difficulty approaching 2 further issues:
1. before I group them I want to assign the Name, Height and Width to an array so that I can write the array to a worksheet once all the shapes have been identified.
2.Also, the Length needs to be assigned (in some cases it is the Height and in others it is the Width where Length is the larger of Height or Width)to the array for each item. Where is the best place to add the definition of length as it is not relevant to drawing the rectangle but to recording the components.
Inserting Pictures Into Shapes
Apr 30, 2009I have written some code to insert pictures into shapes as part of a facility management problem I have.
Code takes the names from a list of pictures (ConditionList) and places each one into a corresponding shape - therefore populating a report on the facility.
Works to the point of inserting the pictures OK but if I refresh the ConditionList by adding or deleting pictures, my shapes dont refresh.

Dim ConditionListCount As Integer
Dim ShapesCount As Integer
Dim ConditionList As Range
On Error Resume Next
Application.EnableEvents = False
VBA To Group Worksheet Shapes
Apr 1, 2009I want to "GROUP" a selection of objects that are put onto a worksheet. But I won't know until the objects are created what the names of each object will be. When I create the objects I will know which objects that I want grouped together.
When I record a macro when I select then "GROUP" said objects I get the following line of code
ActiveSheet.Shapes.Range( Array("FlowCtrl_S2_Decision000011", "FlowCtrl_S2_Decision00001", "FlowCtrl_S2_Decision000012", "FlowCtrl_S2_Decision00001a", "FlowCtrl_S2_Decision00001b")).Select
Selection.ShapeRange.Group.Select
What I need is how to "dynmically" create the Array(....) portion from say a delimited string. Like
"FlowCtrl_S1_Decision00002", "FlowCtrl_S1_Decision000021", "FlowCtrl_S1_Decision000021_1FlowCtrl_S1_Decision00002
In the attached workbook. When you click the button 7 objects will be put onto the worksheet. I want when the routine is complete that the the 7 objects are "GROUP"ed and given a particular name. So that I can point and select at one item and move all 7 at the same time.
