Macro - Page Breaks/printing
Mar 20, 2009is there a macro code that will autmatically determine the end of your page and adjust your page breaks accordingly?

View 9 RepliesI have a sheet with a few hundred rows of data which I filter out by using a very simple autofilter. I have set page breaks throughout the whole sheet on certain rows I need to start on a new page. If the auto filter filters out any of these rows when it prints it prints a blank page where that row would have been before it was hidden by the autofilter.
For example the whole list is say 5 pages (set with page breaks) I apply an auto filter that now reduces it down to 2 pages say the 1st and last page of the original list. If I page break preview it, it shows me that it will be 2 pages but when i print preview/print the sheet it prints the 1st page then 3 blank pages then page 5 even know that the page break preview only shows and numbers 2 pages. Because the original page breaks are still there just are hidden by the autofilter so it adds them in as blank pages
I need to remove all existing page breaks in a document and add a page break every 72 rows. I've tried some similar codes from this forum with other functions that I don't need in it.
View 7 Replies View RelatedI'm using a procedure (PageSetupXL4M) which uses the XL4 Page.Setup function to format a sheet in VBA--since it's much faster than VBA's current PageSetup function. (It's explained here: [url]
The problem is that the XL4 Page.Setup function seems to clear all the automatic page breaks. I'll use "MsgBox Sheets(1).HPageBreaks.Count" to display the page break count both before and after the XL4 function. It'll show the correct # of PageBreaks before the function, but shows 0 after.
I need to return the correct # of PageBreaks AFTER the function is run because the formatting of the page can sometimes alter the number of PageBreaks.
how to get "HPageBreaks.Count" to recalculate and return the correct number of breaks?
I am trying to sort a macro out to save my sheet the same as the original when the button is clicked. When i try it from one location it is fine but from another location i get a print error, the error says prit quality is not right, when i debug it highlights: Print Quality = 600 I have tried changing it but keep getting the same error. Their maybe an easier way to do this but not being very good on VB i dont know what to do. This file is on a server and will be accessed from different locations.
View 2 Replies View RelatedI want to achieve is a procedure that inserts horizontal page breaks at certain parts of the sheet where there is a cell equal to 2. Here is the code I have so far.
Sub insert_pagebreak()
Dim printbreak_cell As Range
Dim j As Long
Dim i As Long
ActiveSheet.ResetAllPageBreaks
Set printbreak_cell = Range("AD1")
j = 1
For i = 1 To 100
If printbreak_cell.Value = 2 Then
Set ActiveSheet.HPageBreaks(j).Location = printbreak_cell
j = j + 1
End If
Set printbreak_cell = printbreak_cell.Offset(1, 0)
Next i
End Sub
Everything works until the cell value reaches a 2, and then once it goes into the If statement I get a 'Application-defined or object-defined error' at the below line.
Set ActiveSheet.HPageBreaks(j).Location = printbreak_cell.............
I suddenly can't adjust my page breaks in any Excel spreadsheet while in Page Break Preview. Is there some option to turn it on and off?
View 7 Replies View RelatedI have a worksheet that changes in length. There is a formula that calculates how many pages the sheet will be. The also is a print button on the sheet that will print a coversheet "Sheets("Title")" and then it is supposed to print the data on the second sheet. Below the code I have so far... I know I am missing something, but knowing very little about macros I just can't seem to figure it out.
View 2 Replies View RelatedI have a report that I use and right now I have a command button that prints the report x2. What I would like to do is to have it print one in color and one in grayscale. I could do this I think with two different buttons, but I would like to utilize just one. I tried creating a macro but it did not pick up the fact that I changed the properties to black and white.
View 2 Replies View RelatedI want some code which will automatically insert a page break every time the data changes in a column. In column B- the data is structured as below;
DOG
<blank cell>
<blank cell>
DOG
<blank cell>
DOG
<blank cell>
<blank cell>
CAT
<blank cell>
CAT
<blank cell>
MOUSE
<blank cell>
MOUSE
MOUSE
<blank cell>
Etc
The code I want would insert the page break every time every time the data changed- but not where there is a blank cell. I hope this makes sense. I realise the blank cells complicate things- the blank cells separating the data cells are there because there is additional;data in columns C,D,E etc
I have a worksheet with 760 names on it. The first row are headers, 2nd row on is the data. I need to break the data up into 25 rows a piece, excluding the headers. I am making rosters, so each roster would have twenty five names per sheet. Of course I know I will have a couple of names left over, but this would help with the bulk.

I'm using the this code to print some info out of an existing worksheet and I'd like to force excel to remove all pagebreaks, as the last column or two is always printed onto another page. Does anyone know how to programatically remove pagebreaks?

.ActiveSheet.HPageBreaks(1).location.row
For some reason, when I 'Print Preview' an excel file, it puts the page breaks in one place.
However, when I save it as a PDF, it moves them slightly, meaning that not as much fits on one page.
I am having serious issues inserting page breaks using VBA. I have even taken code from the Microsoft website and it still crashes.
Code:
Sub InsertPageBreaks()
With Worksheets(1)
.HPageBreaks.Add.Range("F25")
.VPageBreaks.Add .Range("F25")

I'm importing a text document into excel, and I have these page breaks that start with a c in the leftmost space(no other lines start with a character in the 1st space) and 15 spaces underneath it are page headers. I'm trying to create a macro that scans the entire A column for any "C" in the 1st leftmost space, highlight and delete(move page up) that "c" and the 15 spaces following it. I want the macro to loop until it ends.
So far, this is what I got for selecting C:
Dim c
For Each c In Range("A1:A306").Cells
If Left(activecell.characters.value,1)="C" Then
c.Select
want to specify page breaks and set print areas when running a macro. Appears to work sometimes, but then breaks (hard and soft) pop up on their own). Currently using something like this to specify a 2 page wide view...
ActiveSheet.PageSetup.PrintArea = "$A:$Z"
With ActiveSheet.PageSetup
.FitToPagesWide = 2
Set ActiveSheet.VPageBreaks(1).Location = Range("P1")
End With
Can I force breaks to be more absolute (more accurately)?
I want a macro to assess whether there's a page break before column P, if so, remove it and continue, if not... continue.
View 7 Replies View RelatedI have a spreadsheet that I use for work that I have set the row height specifically for page breaks. I use the top 3 rows on each page as a header with that page info.
If I update it at home, then email it to work, the row height has changed. No real problem, I just go in and adjust the row height. Then if I email it back to home from work, it does the same thing.
It's just this particular sheet that does it. All of the other sheets that I use always keep their row height properties intact when emailing.
I have a sheet that data is imported into that is normally no more than 300 rows. I need to insert 2 blank rows after each page break. My problem is the row height is not always the same when the data is imported. How to insert 2 blank rows after each page break using a macro.
View 3 Replies View RelatedI have the following code that I am using to create conditional page breaks. It works sporadically. It will work on the data I used when i set up the code. It will sometimes work on smaller amounts of data. It will sometimes insert the page breaks but then error out at line: ActiveSheet.HPageBreaks.Add Before:= Cells(row_index + 1, "D"). I do not understand this code entirely as a i am novice VB user. Once I get this code to work, I'd love to imrove it so that the page breaks ends when there is no data in last row or last column.
Sub PageBreak()
Dim lastrow As Long
Dim row_index As Long
lastrow = ActiveSheet.Cells(Rows.Count, "D").End(xlUp).Row
For row_index = lastrow - 1 To 2 Step -1
If Cells(row_index, "D").Value <> "" Then
'insert page breaks ever time value in column D changes
If IsNumeric(Cells(row_index, "D").Value) Then
If Cells(row_index, "D").Value <> Cells(row_index + 1, "D").Value Then
ActiveSheet.HPageBreaks.Add Before:=Cells(row_index + 1, "D")
End If
End If
End If

I have a spreadsheet that is 7 columns wide and contains blocks of data. The data blocks vary in size typically between 3 and 12 rows. Between each block of data is a blank row (there are no blank rows within the data blocks). There may be up to 500 rows in the spreadsheet consisting of maybe 30 varying size blocks of data.
I am attempting to produce a Macro that will insert page breaks into the spreadsheet, the requirement being that non of the blocks of data are split across two pages. I would need to be able to input the available number of rows per page (to allow for headers and footers), the Macro would then need to count down that many rows, find the last blank line before that point and insert a page break. It would then need to count from the position of the inserted page break to determine where to place the next page break etc.
I need to find row numbers of the horizontal page breaks on a sheet quickly. The only method I have found to do this is by using the HPageBreaks property, which is painfully slow.
Is there another way of doing this that's faster? Or some other manner of using HPageBreaks that improves its speed?
The scenario is that I have a macro which generates a list of items where each item is two rows long. If an item intersects a page break--one row is on one page and the 2nd row is on the next page--I want to insert a row so that the entire item is on the next page.
I have a report that is generated that is broken down into 4 or 5 headers.
What I want is basically a way to manually add page breaks for 2 conditions:
*That no section starts at the end of one page and ends on the next; I want to just insert a page break before the section so it is all on the next page.
* That if the first section is more than a page long, that it inserts a new header saying 'section 1 continued..' basically.
I've been able to code it and it functions how I want. However, it takes about 20-30 seconds on a dual-core computer with 2gb of memory to insert these page breaks, so I thought I'd get some expert advice on where the slow-downs are and how I could go about tightening up the code to get it to run faster. (this subprocedure is #15 of 15 when generating the report, and the rest take between 2 and 5 seconds combined).
Sub Quote_Page_Breaks()
Dim financials_start_row As Integer, financials_start_page As Integer, financials_end_row As Integer, financials_end_page As Integer
Dim recommended_start_row As Integer, recommended_start_page As Integer, recommended_end_row As Integer, recommended_end_page As Integer
Dim standard_end_row As Integer, standard_end_page As Integer
Dim i As Integer, page_break() As Integer
Dim recommended As Boolean

I have a report that contains several rows of data. This data is separated by page breaks, so for example, there could be 1500 rows, separated into 90 pages by page breaks. Each range may have anywhere between 35 and 45 rows, but some of those rows may contain no data.
I would like to loop through the cells column A, look for a certain criteria, then delete the range around that certain cell that is contained within the page breaks.
I have code that will loop through the cells in column A. I also managed to create code that will delete a set range but since the ranges aren't always a uniform number of rows I need another fix.
Is it possible to load the page breaks for a range into an array without looping. Just checking, because looping is taking about 20 seconds or so.
Doesn't Work.

Is it possible to use the resize function in Excel VB to select all rows that are between 2 page breaks.
I have a worksheet with several pages of data. Each page is separated by a page break at the top and bottom of the range, each page can consist of any number of rows from 20 to 50. I need to look for a specific criteria in column A in each of these pages. If the criteria is met, then I need to delete that page.
For example, if the cell where the criteria is met is A50, in page 2, and the page break above this is at row 45, and the one below is at row 55, then delete rows 45 to 55
I have the code that finds the criteria in column A. I tried to use the offset and resize functions but as there isnt always a consistent number of rows involved this didnt work
If this isnt possible, can you refer to page numbers in excel, so if the criteria is found in pages 4, 7 and 10 of the data then these pages are deleted?
For each of the sheets below, I need to extend the bottom of the page down ten rows and i need a page break after 60 rows.
Does anybody have any ideas? Here are the tabs that I need this macro on:
(MySheets = Array("FY09 Installation Support", "FY09 Install", "FY09 Purchase", "FY09 CF Discretionary Grants", "FY09 CF LOI", "FY08 Purchase", "FY08 Installation Support", "FY08 CF Discretionary Grants", "FY07 Sup Install Support", "FY07 CF Install Non-LOI", "FY07 Sup Purchase", "FY05 CF Carryover Install", "FY04 Recovery Funds", "FY05 Recovery Funds", "FY08 Safety Carryover", "FY09 Safety", "FY09 Transport Canada")
