Using Excel For Layout And Printing?
Apr 9, 2014
I'm a graphic designer with a few years of experience incorporating Excel content in design layouts, and for the first time I've been asked to use Excel to layout content. The client has a complicated spreadsheet that works as an interactive form, taking responses and running them through a hidden page of secret-sauce analytics before outputing results to a final report.
The thing is, they are hoping to use it in person with clients on an iPad, and then also print out all of the individual pages as a consistent-looking booklet.
I can make an excel page look good, but the printing just isn't going according to plan. When I go to print it distorts the pages. I can resize it to print, but then it doesn't work onscreen so well. And that's for one page: in a best-case scenario I'd need all of the pages to work for print and screen AND use the same scale so that they all look uniform.
how to use Excel for clean, consistant page layouts?

In my data, I have:
1. Age (up to 20, 21-30, 31-40)
2. Gender (male, female)
3. Location (London, Paris, Berlin)
I want to see Age and Gender as column labels and Location as row labels. However, I don't want Gender as a sub-set of Age - I want Age Labels followed immediately by Gender labels ie:
Upto20 / 21-30 / 31-40 / Male / Female
I don't want: 21-30 Male / 21-30 Female / 21-30 Total / etc etc..
Is there a way to specify this in a pivot table?

There is a folder with all excel files with the same structure. I need a macro, who opens one file by one in a folder, change the layout, and save it too same place with same name. Changing the layout will I do with macro record.
Sub AllFiles()
Dim MyFolder As String 'Path containing the files for looping
Dim MyFile As String 'Filename obtained by Dir function
Dim MyBook As Workbook
MyFolder = "D:LABODIESTSOST_DIEST" 'Assign directory to MyFolder variable

I have a very large excel data file, which I want to analyse using pivot tables. The problem is that while most of the columns are headed with the variable name (e.g. country) and have the list of variables displayed under that heading for each observation (e.g. Italy), the years are spread across the columns - i.e. the heading for column X is not "Year", but is 2003, with the next column being 2004, etc.
Is there a quick way I can re-arrange the data so that the layout is consistent and so that I can use it for pivot tables? I have way too many observations to do this by hand.

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.

I've prepared an excel file (excel 2007) with some tabs that contains several charts (4 to 6 charts). When I want to print this file, the sheets with the charts on it doesn't print properly. I have set the print area to cover the charts only and then set it to fit on 1 page but the charts will not scale to fit.
I read somewhere that this is an excel bug - is there a workaround for this?
I could resize all my charts smaller but only as a last resort.

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.

Have very recently been upgraded to Windows 7 with Excel 2010 at work. On printing out a 10 page doucment, (all of which are landscape format), when vewing print preview, the first page is previewed as landsacpe, but subsequent pages are portrait.
If you change format of 2nd page to landscape all subsequent pages switch to landscape.
Have looked at a similar format document created last month and it behaves exactly the same. Whole document landscape but on print preview only first page is...

Excel 2010. I have a workbook that has multiple sheets where some have headers and others do not. Some sheets are static in that no user input is required and others are dynamic so the toal number of pages per worksheet may vary based on how much information the user inputs.
An example:
Sheet 1 is static and requires no input, it does not have a header or a page number. For compliance reasons this sheet must be printed on top of all the other sheets in this policy
Sheet 2 is dynamic. This sheet can range from 2 pages to 5 pages depending on user input. This sheet must have page numbers starting with 1 and it must have a header on page 2 through the last page, but no header on page 1.
I am currently using a worksheet_activate sub to input data into the headers and footers of sheet 2. This works very well and puts the data where I want it to go just by using the "Different First Page" option in the headers design tab.
The problem arises when I select both sheets to print. Excel now thinks Sheet1 is the first page, so the first page of sheet 2 now has a header and the page number beings at 2 instead of 1.
Where I can stop this from happening?
Current sub:
Code:
Private Sub Worksheet_Activate()
' If WS is activated, place information in header
Application.ScreenUpdating = False
'Policy #
[Code] ..........
As I said, this works all well and good for when I'm just printing Sheet2 but when I have to print Sheet 1 & 2 together, it no longer prints the way it should. There are times when Sheet 2 will be the first page of the overall document but there are a few instances where it will be second to Sheet 1 and I run into this issue. Is there a way to specifically reference which headers/footers the code will input the data?

I'm trying to print out multiple excel sheets in which it asks me if I want to save the changes or not every time. I have macro settings set to low so I always accept the macros, if I don't have them set to low I'm always asked the question of whether or not I want to run the macro for over 20+ files. Anyone ever had similar problems when printing multiple files?

When selecting multiple excel files in explorer, you can right click and choose to print the selected documents. All documents gets opened and printed but the files stay open and you have to manually click on YES or NO to save the changes.
Is there a way not to see this window appear. So documents get opened and printed and closes itself without asking anything. Maybe it can be done with an option in the preferences. I'm not sure.
By the way the documents where created with excel vba just in case it's relevant. Also the version of Excel is an older version, I think it was Excel XP or 2002/2003.

I hold some data in the Excel 2007 file. It's about 400 rows and about 10 columns. On occasion I have to print some values from this file. But it has to be in defined position on the paper. It is like I already have the prepared paper with fields, and I just have to fill some fields on the paper with data from the columns. Is it possible to make a program that will take each row that I label for printing, and print just some columns but in a defined position on the paper ?

We have just refreshed our entire printer fleet to Xerox printers and as part of the project we have selected all defaults to B&W and duplex.
On a multi sheet excel file, If we click print then choose entire workbook and then change the print options to colour, it prints the only first worksheet in colour, and all the others in mono. i have read that excel treats each worksheet separately and does not cascade the changes made made in the first worksheet even if all sheets have been selected.
How can I get them all to print in colour?
We can set up another printer and change the defauts to colour but we dont want to go down that road and have 2 printers installed for each model.
Is there any code out there can will/ can change the properties of the first worksheet and cascade this throughout the workbook.
We use XP and W7 workstations and office 2003, 2007 and 2010. By the end of the year all workstations will be W7 and Office 2010.

She has a spreadsheet created in Excel 2003 (she is still using 2003) which contains an image with a textbox in the top left corner then all other cells contain data.
When user prints this spreadsheet all that prints is the image and the textbox.
I have cleared the print area reset the print area removed the picture (prints only the text box)
and none of these changes have changed what prints.
I have checked all printer setting and these appear normal.
previously user could print this spreadsheet fine and all other worksheets in the workbook print fine as well.
other users are still able to print to the same printer correctly from this spreadsheet.

I am using Excel 2010
I have over 800+ pages of chart that only takes up 6 columns and around like 9000+ rows.
I wanted to print this chart on paper and need hardcopies. However, the chart in its current setup prints only on the left half of the page leaving the right half empty.
How do i make use of the full space properly? Each chart has a "page number" on it so I want the chart to print continuously from one half of the page onto the next half and then the second page, third, etc.
Here is a visual demonstration of how things currently are and how i'd like to get them to be:
As you can see, This is the first of many charts and its numbered Page 9 and next one is page 10.
Pic1
How this looks when i try to print, it's only on the left side. right is all blank
Pic2
How i want it to look like upon printing
Pic3
As you can see in the last picture, once page 14 chart has no space it automatically continues chart on right side of page and then moves on to print rest.

I'm making a sign in and sign out sheet for work and when I go to view and then page layout I get not only that but other sheets without the texts. Also, when I go back to my normal view I see dotted lines that show the page size over and over again. Any idea how I can see only what I want to see on page layout and get rid of those dotted lines?

I have MS Office 2003 with Excel and am comfortable creating formulas and have fun making spreadsheets, but have little experience with multiple tabs. They frustrate me. I'd like to set up a file that would essentially be a year of bookkeeping. Everything in view would be income, outgo, anticipated expenses, and running cash flow for a month. I'd like 12 or 14 tabs (1 per month plus overview and recap capability). If I make any format changes in row height or column width, I'd like those changes to apply to all tabs without having to copy the new layout to each of the other tabs. I think that would run the risk of also copying one months expenses/income erroneously to another month. Is this possible? I'd like to stretch a column, add column or row and have the changes apply to all tabs.
Also, most of the time, I like to have a tinted background behind my lists, but if a cost item needs to be copied from a green "expense list" to a blue "accounts paid" list, the color comes along. Can I copy only the text, not the format?

I receive a worksheet every month, Say sheet A, and then I change its layout as per our need, call it sheet B. here is an example. (Pleae see attached),
All I need to know is there a way to change lay out every month without cutting and pasting row up and down. I think if I insert a column in sheet A (received sheet) as column A and use match function with Prior months sheet B, and sort sheet A by column A (matching numbers), BUT the problem is the blank spaces.
