here is my issue, im printing out P.O.'s at work (purchase orders) and i have to put the P.O. number in manually. so i put in say 1601 then i arrow down till i hit the second p.o. number box (2 p.o.'s per page) and then enter 1602 then hit control + P to print then click back at the top and repeat but changing the number to 2 more than the number previously in the box.
is there some what to do this automatically so i dont have to do it my self?
I am trying to write a macro which does a screen print of a couple of sheets in a spreadsheet. I created the macro using the recorder function and then trimmed it down a bit. However, when I run the macro it pops up with the box asking for a file location, and this is not something that the recoder function seems to write into the macro. I am not sure how to have the macro autofil the file location for the screen print. Is there anyone out there who can give me a hand with this? Thanks. The code for the macro is below...
Sub ScreenPrint() Sheets( Array("Sheet1", "Sheet2", "Sheet3")).Select Application.ActivePrinter = "Microsoft Office Document Image Writer on Ne00:" Selection.PrintOut Copies:=1, ActivePrinter:= _ "Microsoft Office Document Image Writer on Ne00:", Collate:=True Sheets("Sheet1").Select End Sub
Same file shared by many users in the office. File is maybe 2200 rows long and 20 columns wide. Last column is a text field where users can explain variances. Cells in the last column are wrapped and the rows auto-fit on the height. Zoom is set at 100%.
One person opens the file and it looks fine on the screen. Print preview also looks fine. File prints out perfectly.
Another user opens the file and it looks fine on the screen. BUT, print preview shows that the bottom line or lines of text is cut off. File prints exactly like the preview showed with clipped text.
Both users can point the file to the same printer, but that doesn't seem to change anything. Still prints with text clipped for one person and perfectly for another...
The code bellow allows for me have the current sheet saved "printed" to a pdf file with name taken from a cell value.
After that it also prints 3 hard copies with a cell value being changed for each print.
Can I have this but on the pdf code so that the 3 pages are also saved "printed" to pdf?
Code: 'Selects doPDF to genarate PDF file of invoice and names it accordingly to cell L17 which is the invoice number. Application.ActivePrinter = "doPDF v7 on DOP7:" ActiveSheet.ExportAsFixedFormat Type:=xlTypePDF, Filename:= _ "E:LusaGenerated InvoicesINV" & Range("L17").Text & ".pdf", _ Quality:=xlQualityStandard, IncludeDocProperties:=False, IgnorePrintAreas _ :=False, OpenAfterPublish:=False
I have attached the file I am working on. I am attempting to create a link to an external file based on the value of cells in column A. Then I would like to simply copy the formula down, lets say in Column B, the rows and as I do the external file reference will change depending on the value within the cell in Column A. I hope that I am making sense.
I am using Windows Vista with Excel 2007. The files will all be within the same file folder, however, there are hundereds of files so I won't be able to open them all for the indirect to work.
Is there anyway to detect if the user has just printed. I have code which transfer data from the sheet to an access file when the user prints using the button I placed on the sheet, unfortunately some users are using the print button on the toolbar.
I am using the following code written by a former employee to set a print area for 3 different ranges in my workbook. For some reason the pages are coming out in a landscape format. How do I get the macro to print in portrait?
When printing an Excel workbook/Worksheet that has been emailed via Lotus notes 7.02 the print job is all blank pages - PrintPreview is normal and correct - Page Breaks are set correctly - The correct number of pages are printed but, ALL Pages are blank. The printer is an HP 6310 All-in-One connected locally via USB. If Printed to Adobe, ALL pages are correct and can be printed on the HP 6310. If another printer is selected (ie: Any Network Printer) the results are the same. This occurrs only on certain spreadsheats received from only a few users.
Using Excel 2003 I have had this problem ocassionally, and I can't figure out what causes it or how to fix it. In a workbook of several excel worksheets I will ask to print a mulitple page worksheet and only 2/3 of every page prints. This also happens if I print to an Adobe acrobat file, and typically happens when I am printing to pdf files. The selection is correct; there are no page breaks . . . it is just some sort of glitch. The only way I get rid of it is to close down and reboot .
I am having some difficulties with my VBA code. It is a user form that prints the data entered on to a worksheet. However, I am having some troubles with the calculations I want it do. Here is code...

how to create a loop that grabs the ( t'th ) cell and prints into columns on the spreadsheet adjacently that cell and the ones before it (total = t) and repeats it consecutively until there are no more cells to transcribe into columns. For example - I have n=100 cells in a column that need to be placed into n-t columns (where t = 5 for example).
See image below for clarification, code to follow:
As you can see I need it to fill out in the yellow highlighted cells the rest of that pattern. Right now it only does it for one column, but every time I try to get it to do the rest of the columns, it prints the same first column over and over again (I'm having some severe mental block with implementing the correct loop code).
For clarification also, the user selects the t'th cell and it prints that cell and the previous (3 in this case)... and then it shifts down one cell and prints those 4 cells into the next column - which is what I want it to do.

I have written quite and extensive macro that takes data from many Excel files and creates a summary of them. The problem is that there needs to be no hidden columns in the master files or the summary prints misinformation. I am looking for a way to keep people from hiding any columns (and rows if possible) unless they have a password. The problem is that many people have to get into the masters to update data, so I can't just put a password on the files and be done with it.
I'm looking to create a macro which displays a user entry box where the user can input a starting number and then input an ending number. The macro will then cycle through that range inputting each value into a specific cell and perform a print function. It will continue doing this until the last number in the range.
E.g. Min. Number inputted = 1 Max. Number inputted = 80 Macro will not cycle through that range: Input 1 into Sheet1 Range A1 Print Page Input 2 into Sheet1 Range A1 Print Page .....Continue doing this until it reaches 80
All sheets are basically the same except some minor values, names and addresses. There is one page per sheet and all pages are in portrait format. The print preview shows all the pages in order but when I print it, it makes multiple print jobs of 1 to 2 pages each and prints them all out of order. I don't know why it is splitting up the workbook or why it changes the order. I print and reorder these weekly, which is a major pain. It comes out in the same order each time but it is the wrong order.
I am trying to do is to make it so that users can enter data into my form (I have managed to create the form and am working on trying to figure out how to get the info entered into the form to appear in my worksheet) and then the data will cause the information to, basically, compile sentences that I want to appear in one of three cells at the bottom of the worksheet.
Essentially, at this point in time, the end goal is to make 3 cells that contain text. Eventually, this text will be indexed elsewhere, but that is for the next person to deal with. I am creating a prototype that I want to present as a process improvement.
So, when the user selects 3 in cell D7 I want the text "Customer purchased 3 Widgets at $20 each." to print in cell 82B. I also want the user to be able to copy and paste some customer records from another program directly into a cell in the form that will just print (unchanged) into one of these boxes, too.
Lastly, I want the user to be able to select checkboxes that will, when selected, print a comment that will print in two of these boxes. For example, if the user selects yes for cell D26 then I want the text "Customer not eligible for free shipping" to appear in both cells C82 and D82.
I have a workbook save as "file1.xls" All the macros and stuff work great. I want to use this a template. The idea is to open this book at the beginning of each year and save it with the year in the name. This way I have a file for my business stuff for each year.
I have been saving along the way so I have it named "file1.xls, file2.xls, file3.xls.......up to file 7 right now."
When I save the name, the macro stop working. It seems like they are attached to the original name of the file. I will eventually save this file with a new name for my company and transfer it on to a different computer.
How do I fix this so that they will work with whatever the book is saved as?
Is there a way to have the macros save with my current workbook and transfer to my other computer when I get this project done?
My co-workers and I have excel files on a drive. When one of us is in the file, and it opens read only we just see the name of our company. How can we change it to be able to see each other's names? Its the "file in use" message that pops up. It states the name of the file and by: X when we open the file.
I am working on a spreadsheet that will be referencing approximately 20-30 separate workbooks which all have identical sheet / column structure and have a consistent file naming convention. ("###-YYYY") Since, this is referencing separate files and not sheets with this workbook, I cannot use INDIRECT. However, I should be able to use index / match referencing provide instructions for users to copy a set of cells down and the globally change the file name. The problem is that the file directory pops up with each instance and the user has to manually select or confirm the file.
There would be approximately 15 cells with a formula similar to this example and would want to change the two instances of "403" to a new 3-digit code, say "444". Then as each year cycles over, we'd want to change all instances of 2014 to 2015.
Basically, at month end, my company will create a new folder with the name as YYYY_MM (e.g. 2012_11). In this folder, a new file will be created as: earnings_YYYY_MM (e.g. earnings_2012_11).
What I want is to automatically update the link to the most recent file: earnings_YYYY_MM, whenever it is available. For example, next month there will be a new file earnings_2012_12 created in the new folder 2012_12, then the new file will be linked with.
I have an Excel workbook which operates as a template. When it is opened, it runs an OnOpen routine. When it is saved under a different name, is it possible to ignore the OnOpen routine if that file is re-opened? I suspect it could be done by testing the name of the file, but I can't figure out the code.
I have a CSV file contain many fields and all fields have value (positive & negative values). I have 3 questions here:
1) This file is created on Friday. So the date in Field1 is Friday's date. I want to change the date to Saturday date. How can i change it using macro? 2) I want to set the value for fields 24 until 26 to 0. I want the script to force the field value to be 0. How can i do that by using macro?..and fyi, my CSV file have header in the first row. Below i illustrate my original csv file and the expected output. 3) How can i automate the macro to run every Friday afternoon?
Original csv Field1, Field2,....,Field24, Field25, Field26, Field27 "20120803","ABC",...,9.032,24.52,-6.325,21.12 "20120803","ABC",...,5.242,-1.53,7.005,21.12
I understand that all the If's and Then's are bad form so if you can show me a better way to do that, then great, but I am having a problem getting it to work and I don't think it has anything to do with the If Then. I get Run-Time Error 52, and it highlights the following line:
wbExists = Len(Dir(FullFileName)) > 0
Function wbExists(FullFileName As String) As Boolean
'returns TRUE if the file exists wbExists = Len(Dir(FullFileName)) > 0
I have a file here that already has macros in it. The file is basically a excel document generator.
When you click create sku, the document will generate multiple documents based on the user inputs.
Two things in this file
1) In the generated documents the original "generator" file creates, I need generated files to have column B and D formatted to TEXT, currently all the generated files are formatted to general. (This code is in module 1, line 84 col 34.)
2) The other problem is I need to append the value in Cell N1 in the "sku data entry" sheet to be appended to the generated file names. (this part of the code is is in module 1, line 150 col 28.)
I have a file that summarizes data by country and by month but then another file with a yearly summary. I need to pull in the same cell references for each month but using each tab's name: 'Jan' tab, 'Feb' tab etc. The problem is every time I tell it to find/replace the tab name, I have to select the file from its location in a browsing box every time. I have also tried the indirect formula without much luck and because I also had to add all the month summary tabs to the original file to get the indirect formula to work. I would rather keep both files separate.
How do I copy over formulas in the Jan column and change the tab reference to the Feb tab for the Feb column without having to change things 200 times for each countries data?
