This sets the name of the active printer PrintToFile Optional: True is passed to print to a file. If it is not specified then user is prompt to enter an output file. This is a Boolean type argument.

2 Chapter 2 : Excel Print Multiple Charts On One Page How To Corporate Revenue, Excel Quick Copy Work In Excel, when you click the Print button, Excel will not print hidden sheets, except use VBA. Here is a large examples of print Worksheets use Excel VBA, Before you read this tutorial, you may need to know the difference between Worksheets and Sheets. Starting with our trusted friend, the macro recorder, the code we get for printing two sheets is Sheets Array "Sheet2", "Chart1". That essentially is the key to operating on multiple sheets at the same time. Selecting multiple sheets We will see an example of how to construct an array with elements identified only at run time. But, first we look at code that uses the Select statement in a way that is rarely seen. Did you know that the Select method has an optional parameter? Select Replace expression Required. An expression that returns one of the above objects. The object to replace. By setting the Replace argument to False one can add to the existing selection! The code sample below selects both the datasheet Sheet2 and the chart sheet Chart1 and copies them to a new workbook. Copy As has been noted elsewhere, selecting and activating objects is a step of last resort. Whenever possible, it is preferred that one work without selecting and activating sheets. We will see how to do that next. Next, we convert our above code sample to use an array. Since this will be a building block for the next case where the names are not known in advance, we will use an array data structure. In fact, we might not even know how many sheets we want to work with. Working with sheets identified only at runtime Next, we look at how we can operate on sheets without knowing their names up front. Suppose we want to copy to a new workbook all the sheets in the active workbook that have a left parenthesis in their respective names. The code below uses an array to store the names of interest and then it carries out the copy in one step. The handling of the array SheetsFound probably deserves some clarification. Except at the very end, it is always one larger than the amount of valid data in it. Before the first iteration of the For Each asheet loop it has one element index zero that contains nothing. Whenever a sheet of interest is found, its name is entered in the empty element and the array is resized to be one larger. That means that once again the array has one element that is empty. Hence, when all iterations of the loop are complete, the array will still have one element too many. Consequently, the final ReDim trims the array by one. Sheets If InStr 1, asheet. Copy End Sub When selecting and activating objects is unavoidable One of the features that Microsoft added to Excel is this ability to edit multiple worksheets simultaneously. Using the categories mentioned in the introduction, this capability falls under the "convenience" category rather than one where behavior is altered. Consequently, Microsoft made some compromises within the model. The standard object model gets sidestepped in these cases and we are forced to use the selection and the activecell objects. The code that the macro recorder generates to work on Sheet1 and Sheet2 simultaneously is shown below. The first sample creates the sheet group and changes just one cell A1. The second code sample changes a group of cells A2: Sheets Array "Sheet2", "Sheet1". Select Sheets SheetsFound 0. For example, the following code segment generates the runtime error "Object does not support this property or method. Instead Excel will crash! The trivial example below is one such instance. Sub crashexcel Dim x Sheets x.

4 Chapter 4 : Examples to print worksheets If you select multiple cell ranges on one sheet and tries to print out selected cells you will get one sheet for each of the selected areas. The following example macro will print all the selected areas on one sheet. Combine multiple worksheets into one with Copy Sheets Supposing you have a few spreadsheets that contain information about different products, and now you need to merge these sheets into one summary worksheet, like this: With the Copy Sheets added to your ribbon, the 3 simple steps is all it takes to merge the selected sheets into one. Start the Copy Sheets Wizard. Copy sheets in each workbook to one sheet and put the resulting sheets to one workbook. Merge the identically named sheets to one. Copy the selected sheets to one workbook. Combine data from the selected sheets to one sheet. Since we are looking to combine several sheets by copying their data, we pick the last option: Select worksheets and, optionally, ranges to merge. The Copy Sheets wizard displays a list of all the sheets in all open workbooks. Select the worksheets you want to combine and click Next. In this example, we are merging the first three sheets: Choose how to merge sheets. In this step, you are to configure additional settings so that your worksheets will be combined exactly the way you want. How to paste the data: In most cases, it is the option to choose. Create links to source data - this will inset formulas linking the merged data to the source data. Select this option if you want the merged data to update automatically whenever any of the source data changes. How to arrange the data: Place copied ranges one under another - arrange the copied ranges vertically. Place copied ranges side by side - arrange the copied ranges horizontally. How to copy the data: Copy tables with their headers. Check this option if you want the table headers to be included in the resulting sheet. The screenshot below shows the default settings that work just fine for us: Click the Copy button, and you will have the information from three different sheets merged into one summary worksheet like shown in the beginning of this example. Other ways to combine sheets in Excel Apart from the Copy Sheets wizard, the Ultimate Suite for Excel provides a few more merging tools to handle more specific scenarios. Merge Excel sheets with a different order of columns When you are dealing with the sheets created by different users, the order of columns is often different. How do you handle this? Will you be copying the sheets manually or moving columns in each sheet? Commit the job to our Combine Sheets wizard: And the data will be combined perfectly by column headers: Merge specific columns from multiple sheets If you have really large sheets with tons of different columns, you may want to merge only the most important ones to a summary table. Run the Combine Worksheets wizard and select the relevant columns. As the result, only the data from the columns that you selected get into the summary sheet: These examples have demonstrated only a couple of our merge tools, but there is much more to it! After experimenting a bit, you will see how useful all the features are. Please keep in mind that for the VBA code to work correctly, all of the source worksheets must have the same structure, the same column headings and same column order. Combine data from multiple worksheets with Power Query Power Query is a very powerful technology to combine and refine data in Excel. The following tutorial explains the common uses in detail: Combine data from multiple data sources Power Query. The latter is a visual user-friendly tool that lets you compare two Excel spreadsheets by a common column s and pull matching data from the lookup table.
