Trying To Stop Invisible Cells From Printing
Aug 16, 2006
I 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.

I use this code to make text not visible and it does work well using matching font color (fcolor) and cell color (icolor), but this leaves one issue. When I print the text it is no longer hiden by the matching colors.? I was hoping to use -4241 to set the color to no color,(invisible?) but now it produces errors.
Private Sub Worksheet_Calculate()
Dim icolor As Integer, fcolor As Integer, Target As Range, FormulaCells As Range
Set FormulaCells = Range("a4:a104")
For Each Target In FormulaCells
Select Case Target
Case "one"
icolor = 37
fcolor = -4142
Case "two"
icolor = 27
fcolor = -4142
Case "three"
icolor = 35
fcolor = -4142
Case "four"
icolor = 45
fcolor = -4142

I'm using the following code, which I figured out quite by accident out of happy coincidence that somebody else on here asked about selecting only visible rows:

I 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.

I 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.

I have a macro which auto prints a series of workbooks and it works very well - except (there is always an except right?) some of the workbooks brink up a dialog box saying "this workbook contains links to other data sources" Update, Don't Update or Help"
how to prevent this box from appearing and interrupting the print flow? I want to be able to run this macro and wallk away while it merrily does its printing job - not sit at the monitor hitting No No No over and over (yes i do NOT want to update the workbook)
Public Sub Auto_Open()
Dim sCurFile As String
Dim sPath As String
Dim mpath As String
mpath = InputBox("Enter the month and year, i.e. 0207 for Feb 2007", "print")
fpath = InputBox("Enter day of the month to print (no leading 0's)?", "print")

Is there a way to tell a row in a pivot table to keep together when printing? Example if I have a row for Item and then a row for year after that, I want all the years for that item to print together on the same page.
Item1
2010
2011
2012
<page ends>
<second page>
2013
2014
Item2
2010
2011
2012
2013
2014

I'm trying to create an accounting document, but stuck in couple fields
1) Make balance appear in column E5 only if column C5 OR D5 is polulated, so goes for the rest of the cell in that colu
2) I like to have 2 digits after the decimal but (same as above) i want it to appear ONLY if there are any decimals to that number, all those 0 become confusing.
3) I need to make it so the last calculated cell on sheet Jan of column E gets transfered auto to sheet Feb D3 of F3 so the calculations could proceed to the next month

I have a worksheet that contains lots of value. I want to run quick calculation on it but for some reason counta function counts blank cells.
I checked and the cells with =len() and it returns a number > 1
What is the proper way to clean the whole worksheet with some copy paste value and get rid of invisible character like space or nonprintable ones to be sure to get the right number of cells with value?

Is there any way to "Inscribe" a cell? I would like to run a macro on Enter keypress, that would execute different code depending on that "inscription" that would be invisible to user. I could use some properties of . Validation property like this:
Private Sub EnterPressed
'following code to ensure proper functioning of Enter in any other Worksheet
If ActiveSheet <> mySheet 'MySheet is global Variable then
ActiveCell.Offset(1,0).Select
exit Sub
End If
'now the real code
If ActiveCell.Validation.InputMessage = "1" Then
ActiveCell.Offset(0,1).Select
Else
'something else
End If
End Sub
The problem is, I use Data Validation and Conditional Formatting, so can't use any of these properties.

I 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.

I 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.

Y-0.956-0.9480.008-0.0030.0030.005

I have several, up to maybe 100 cells in different place in a worksheet, that we don't want to be printed. Until now we changed the text colour for the cells to white, but we noticed that the PDF-files wills til have the "invisible" text. Copy the document text to let say notepad, will show the "hidden" text in the cell.
We have to have another solution to it. Like a macro telling not to print the cell where white text is present.

Is there a way to hide certain cells from printing? The cells can be seen when working on the sheet, but when it is printed, the cell are hidden/have no values.
I print normally from the file-menu, so a print-macro can't be used for this.
Somekind of script to ThisWorkbook so it is automatic?

In my Workbook, Sheet 1 i have Cells B2, C2, D2, H2 all with Name, Age, M/F and Fastest time,
on Sheet 3 i have Cells A4, B4 with Under 20 Male and Time.
What i want to know is how do i go about searching the Age and M/F cells and printing the names of the people who fit the criteria ( for under 20 male it would be males aged 16, 17, 18 and 19) into A4 and their time into B4
to make it worse i want to order the times/names in fastest to slowest time .
i can get half way there but i cant seem to get the formula to pick up on >=16 and

I am trying to print only the non-empty rows in my sheet ("1"), so I am checking every row from row 1 to row 500 to determine if that row is empty, in that case it will be hidden temporarily, then I will PrintPreview only non hidden rows. Finally, I will unhide all rows.
The problem is that although the following code works, it takes forever to run due to large number of rows. Based on sheet design, once the first empty row is discovered, all the following rows beneath it are all blank by default, so all I really need to do is automatically hide all the rows following the first discovered blank one without checking them, then proceed with PrintPreview as above. Sometimes my 3rd row is blank, so I could save a lot of time by automatically hiding rows 3 to 500 without checking them.
code below:
Sub Hide_Print_Unhide()
Dim rw As Long
Application. ScreenUpdating = False
With Sheets("1")
For rw = 1 To 500
If Application.WorksheetFunction. CountA( _
. Cells(rw, 1).Range("A1:C1")) = 0 Then _
.Rows(rw).Hidden = True
Next rw
.PrintPreview ' for testing use .PrintPreview
.Range("A1:A500").EntireRow.Hidden = False
End With
Application.ScreenUpdating = True
End Sub

I need to set a background as an image, but retain the cells so I can type in them individually (not using text boxes). This template will be used for automatically generated daily reports, so the cells have to be present. How can I retain the rows and cells as they are, but set an image behind them? Note: This isn't the header part of the header and footer, but the top of the document.

I am using Excel 2013
I need to print to a printer that is not the default printer, a range of Cells e.g. B4:L28 on Sheet Print Out.
The code is to be added to a VBA routine that already exists that collects & arranges the data on the Print Out sheet from other sheets in the workbook. This routine is assigned to a button on another sheet.

There is a column with a formula and a list validation, and an adjacent hidden column with numbered ids. When moving into the list validation cell the Worksheet_Selection_Change event code saves information about the Target cell - value, address, formula. When a value has been obtained from the list the Worksheet_Change event code looks up a belonging id in a lookup table and put this in the hidden id cell, and puts the saved formula back into the list validation cell. This makes the sheet (or window) unmanagable.
When I move around the sheet I can see the cell name in the Name Box, but the sheet itself is not visible. The only way to display the sheet is to add a new window (Window - New Window), choose the first "frozen" window (Window - 1. window) and quit this window. Then the new window is ready for use, but of course with the same limitations as the newly quitted one. Ring a bell, someone?? The funny thing is that in this workbook I also use the same functionality in another sheet without any problems.

Used the left formula on a list (10,000 rows) of address. Copy and pasted as values when i was done. Some of the rows do not have a value. However, excel reads it as such even though nothing shows up in the cells. If i click on the cell it clears whatever invisible data there is. Anyone have this problem and an easy solution to clear 3,000 plus lines without clicking in each one?

We have a form that has a dropdown list of selections but many people forget choose the reasons. How can I make these required fields that HAVE to be filled in in order to print. These are internal forms, nothing on the web. I just need to find a way to make sure that there is a way to stop someone from printing if these 2 fields are not chosen.

my excel sheet runs through a lot of calculations, opens Flowmaster, a simulations program, passes on data, receivs data and so on. Is there any way to have a user input to stop the whole simulation. During the first tries I had a lot of break point in my debugger. But now I want to have a button to hit or better just some keys to hit to stop it without using the ctrl+alt+del which closes everything.

I have an excel sheet that lists a bunch of different recipes. Right now I have all the recipes saved in individual sheets. Each of these are hidden when the sheet is opened. I have a main sheet which lists all of the recipes names and when clicked, the specific sheet opens up. What I am looking for is a code that will hide all of the sheets except for the sheet "Sortable List" and "Detailed Lists". Each of the buttons I have which open up the recipe sheet look like this:
VB:
Sub Banana_Split()
Sheets("Banana Split").Visible = True
Sheets("Banana Split").Select
End Sub
See I think the user might click on a bunch of the names to see the recipes and then get overwhelmed with there being so many open sheets.
