Print Out Data That Is Variable In The Amount Of Rows To Print
Apr 15, 2009
I am trying to come up with a way to print out data that is variable in the amount of rows to print.
1. Cells C1 thru M6 is heading of report
2. Cells C7 thru M400 all have formulas and display information only when criteria in Column C in each row is met, if condition is not met it displays no informtion. (There lies my problem).
I need a way to print out only the area that information is displayed in and skip the areas that are not displayed. (Currently I have hard coded the print range using the largest report)
Using Excel 2003 I am trying to write a macro to set the print area according to the amount of data in a particular range of cells. I find I can include this instruction
I need to make a sheet which only the rows that contain data is printed. It is in column A that I will have a list, and in column B I want to be able to choose which of the rows from the list that is to be printed.
I am attempting to try something that seems simple and yet, I have no idea how to accomplish this. I have a very simple spreadsheet, see picture below. There will be a varying amount of rows filled every time the spreadsheet is printed. What I would like is to have only the rows that are filled in printed. This is with Excel 2003.
I am trying to find a formula to set the print area to only print rows that contain actual data and ignore the formula.
The spreadsheet is going to be used by multiple users and locked from editing so I have formulas set in column H all the way to row 200 but no data is actually in column H until they enter a date in column B. Since there are formulas in column H when the user tries to print, it is printing all pages even if there is no data.
Here is my formula in H2:H200 =IF(B2="","",SUM(B+14))
I'm looking for a code that will scan the rows (x) (of which there are 10), and print the data for the corresponding columns (y) (of which there are 42).
I have an excel spreadsheet example attached. I want to filter all rows in my full spreadsheet which have "OA" under Group code column and then be able to print these to their own spreadsheet. This way I don't have to scroll through thousands of rows to find each one individually.
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 have a file print in legal size if I have 56 lines filled in otherwise print in regular letter size. Does anyone know how to write this in VBA.
I've found some code which works to print certain pages with value in cell A1 but I need to print dynamic ranges on some of the sheets as they will have filters on so the rows ranges will be different each time.
So far this is what I have but the dynamic range part is not working:
VB: Sub Print_All_Worksheets_With_Value_In_A1() Dim Sh As Worksheet Dim Arr() As String Dim N As Integer
Since upgrading to Windows 2007 (I was already using Excel 2007) I am having issues with the content in the cells on the worksheet not appearing the same on Print Preview and when I print. On the worksheet the cell show to be at the best fit both horizontally and vertically. When I look at the contents under print preview, the contents are squashed from the top and cut off from the left. This happens whether I have the format in Top or Central align and is even worse if I use Bottom align. It is also somewhat worse if I have thickened boarders.
Using Excel 2010: I have 2 rows (A4:J4 & A5:J5) selected as print titles that I would like to be printed at the top of selected pages. Currently, my document is 3 pages long, and I would like to have the print titles only applied to the first 2 pages. More data will be added in the future on pages 1&2 but the last page (whatever page number it ends up being) should not contain the selected print titles.
I just converted from Excel 2003 to 2007 and print previewed a worksheet and find a tiny image with a small portion of the print area. When I look at the sheet in page break preview mode, I see the 8.5 x 11 sheet broken up into approx 77 smaller sheets. When I try to move the page breaks to include the whole sheet it states the change cannot be made as it will result in an image less than 10%. I have attached two images - the first shows the print preview I get, and the second show the multiple pages when I view in page break.
I am having trouble disabling the "Preview" button when calling Application.Dialogs(xldialogprint) in XL2003. I have an xlSheetVeryHidden worksheet containing a form which is made visible programatically when the user wishes to print a copy (code below). I want the user to be able to have access to the functionality of the xlDialogPrint dialog (i.e. select desired print destination, number of copies, pages per sheet etc.) but I also want to prevent them modifying the page setup of the protected worksheet by initiating a preview from the print dialog.
Private Sub btnPrintReturnForm_Click()
wbkRUSC.Unprotect sysPass 'unprotect workbook to enable changes to sheet visibility ' (sysPass is project constant string containing password)
shtStaffForm.Visible = xlSheetVisible 'make staff form visible
shtCalc.Visible = xlSheetVeryHidden 'hide main calculator in case user gets smart and hits..............................
I have a pretty large spreadsheet set up that invoices our clients. A few tabs in the front allow us to globally invoice if we did certain services for all clients and then we can also go into each tab and invoice each client for specific services performed on their property. Some invoices are two pages long and other may be up to seven pages long and anywhere in between... So that's the first issue, how do you find how many pages to print and then set the print range for each invoice.
The second issue centers around being able to print all the invoices at one time.
The spreadsheet is set up in this manner: A recap sheet we print to check off that each invoice was printed; an IIF statement to get the Excel info into QuickBooks; a template to set up each invoice's information with dates, dates services were performed,etc.; then there are five Global billing tabs where I can invoice all accounts globally or by their type of account (Saturday or Sunday open, 24/7 etc.); then we get into the tabs for each account. Each account has its own tab with an invoice loaded inside where we can itemize the services they received. Inside all these individual account tabs we have set up 'Zone' tabs where we can invoice all the clients we set up within a zone. There are about twenty of these tabs. Then at the end I have a few more tabs that aren't used any longer, there are about ten tabs there...
Is there a way I can hit Print and get all of my invoices to print out at one time versus having to go into each and every tab, set the print range, and then hit Print for all 250ish invoices?
This is the biggest complaint I have right now about the invoicing program I have set up...
I have a "submit" button macro which user would click after he has finished his input. This macro would update a reference number on the worksheet named "orange" and then print out this worksheet.
My purpose is "orange" is printed out with a reference number.
I have a spreadsheet used for costing jobs giving a detailed breakdown of parts and time. Sometimes the customer requests a copy so I'm creating a macro for my boss that prints the spreadsheet, less the hidden columns that I don't want the customer to see. This I can manage.
My question is this: Is there a way within the macro to set the print area to change to where the last cell is automatically?
Each spreadsheet is a different length dependent upon the work required and setting a larger print area to compensate would use excess paper and ink.
I am trying to create a command button on my userform that will allow me to print all the records in the worksheet....in other words it should only print the rows with data......
*my worksheet is called "complaintData" - this is hidden and not active sheet. *I have columns A to J with information, with heading from A1:J1. *I want to be able to print all the rows with values in column A. (Not all the columns except "A", will have values for every record....some may be blank for some records... *I want all the columns to fit in in one page with headings (A1:J1) being first row on every new page..... *page setup should be landscape...
I have tried a few codes from this forum, but not sure where I have goofed up....am still trying learn VBA.....would appreciate if anyone can fix this code for me....cheers
Private Sub cmdPrint_Click() Sheets("ComplaintData").Visible = False Dim ws As Worksheet Set ws = Worksheets("complaintdata")
This sounds like a daft question I know but I have searched the forum but not found an answer despite finding a lot about footers. How do I include a formatted variable value in my printed footer? I have a function that gives me the file creation date and I need that in the footer but formatted 8pt Arial Bold. I have no problem inserting a formatted fixed string.
I want my worksheet to require validation of entry data before printing, so I decided to use the "Workbook_BeforePrint" event, and display a simple dialog box with an "ok" or a "cancel" button as input options.
The problem is that, as coded, "cancel" button does not cancel the print.
I have a spreadsheet with 28 visible tabs. When I select all tabs and print, I get 3 cover (or banner) pages...I like having the first banner page, but the other two are in the middle of my report. I assume excel is sending 3 print jobs and I'm not sure why.
I've seen a couple of posts regarding this issue when using VBA, but I'm not using VBA...just selecting all the sheets and sending a single print job, but get 3 banner pages.
I am trying to write VBA code that will print a print range that is presented in cell F3 on a "Reports" worksheet. The content of F3 will change depending on how many reports the user selects to print. For example, he could select one, two, three reports etc - up to twelve. The cell ranges of each report are named (e.g. Report1, Report2 etc) so that if the user selects to print Reports 1 and 2, the contents of cell F3 are "Report1,Report2". If I replace WhatToPrint with "Report1,Report2" the print macro works.
Sub Macro2() Dim WhatToPrint As String WhatToPrint = Sheets("Reports").Cells(3, 6).Value 'sets the variable to equal the contents of cell D3 which contains the formula 'summarising the print ranges I want to print Sheets("Reports").Cells(3, 6).Select ActiveCell.FormulaR1C1 = WhatToPrint ' pastes the variable in cell F3 - just to check that it looks like I want it to Sheets("Reports").PageSetup.PrintArea = WhatToPrint 'uses the variable to set print area - this is where it fails! 'if you replace the variable with the contents of cell F3 the macro will work ActiveWindow.SelectedSheets.PrintPreview End Sub
I need to write a macro to set the print area to the first two columns (A & B), and the last 12 columns (the last column may change). In both cases I need to print all rows (start is row 1, last row is variable). I am trying to achieve something like the "Freeze Pane" effect with the printer. The first two rows contain column headers (dates). The first two columns contain information that needs to be included on the printout, whilst the last 12 columns contain the most recent data. Various cells withing the selected ranges may be blank, but no row or column will be entirely blank.
I am trying to build a macro to work with a template file.
The template file has set sheet numbers and names (with one exception, see 4) below).
There are close to 40 sheets in all. Some sheets are never printed. Some sheets are always printed. Many sheets are printed only if they are used. Most of the sheets are 'break out' sheets and a variable number of them will be used.
So... Here is what I'm trying to accomplish.
1) Always print Sheet4(Overview1) 2) Always print Sheet6(Overview2) 3) Print Sheets 11 thru 40 IF value in cell G50 on these sheets is > 0. Note that this cell has a name (Total) and I would like to reference the name if possible. (It could happen that further evolution of the Workbook moves the cell up or down a row.) 4) Print Sheet38(Data Sort) IF it exists. Otherwise, print Sheet1(Data). If the information on the Data sheet is limited (eg only 1 or 2 pages), we print it off directly. If the information is more extensive, we copy it to a new sheet and sort it (Data Sort).
I can achieve 1) and 2). I'm not quite sure how to go about 3) as I'm still not very good with macro loops. 4) I haven't tackled yet.
I have a few macros that run in a sheet. After the macros are finnished I would like to present to the user a msgbox that asks if they would like to print. if "Yes" is selected, the print macro runs. If "No" is pressed then nothing happens.
I have a workbook that has a total of 44 tabs; tab 1 = 'Summary' and then 'T1' through 'T43'. When I go to print the workbook, I do what I always do with other workbooks: I select all sheets and hit Print. On this workbook, tabs 'T15' through 'T43' print first, and then 'Summary' through 'T13' print. Tab 'T14' does not print unless I print it separately from the rest.
I am not using any code to do this printing. I am right-clicking on a tab and selecting all sheets and then using the standard Excel toolbar or File...Print menus. When I view it in Print Preview with all sheets selected, T14 is there and looks fine. There are no extra page breaks that I can see.
