Chapter 1 : All about printing sheets, workbook, charts etc. from Excel VBA - blog.quintoapp.com Hello Friends, Hope you are doing well!! Thought of sharing a small VBA code to help you writing a code to print the Workbook, Worksheet, Cell Range, Chart blog.quintoapp.comut Method is used to print any Excel Object. Copy the code to a regular code module, then select the sheet s you want to export, and run the macro. See the section further down, for details on how the macro works. There are two additional macros below: Create PDF file with name from worksheet cells - automatically overwrites existing file, if any Create PDF file with name from worksheet cells - check for existing file, prompt to overwrite or choose different name The Export As PDF Code Copy the code to a regular code module, then select the sheet s you want to export, and run the macro. When the macro starts, it sets variables for the active sheet, and the active workbook. Those will be used to set the default file name and folder. In the format string shown below, a backslash is entered before the underscore, to indicate it is a literal character. Otherwise, Excel would interpret the underscore as the spacing character that is used in Excel number formatting. If the active workbook has been saved, its path is used. The folder is filtered, to show only the PDF files that it contains. You can also select another folder --just browse to a different location. Then, click the Save button, or click Cancel, if you change your mind. If you click Cancel, the value of myfile is "False", and nothing more happens -- the macro ends. If you click Save, the PDF file is created. MsgBox "PDF file has been created: Macro 2 - No Prompt The previous macro creates a default name with a time stamp, based on the active sheet name. It prompts you to select a folder for the saved PDF file, and you can change the default name, if you prefer something different. In the macro below, the default name is based on the values in cells A1, A2 and A3 on the active sheet. The PDF file is automatically saved in the current folder -- you are not prompted to choose a folder, and cannot change the default name. The PDF file is automatically saved in the current folder, with no prompts. However, if a file with that name already exists in the current folder, a message asks if you want to overwrite the file. Click Yes or No in the message box. The zipped file is in xlsm format, and contains macros. Be sure to enable macros, if you want to run the macro. Page 1
Chapter 2 : blog.quintoapp.comut Method (Excel) Microsoft Docs 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. To add a comment, Sign In Total Comments: Loops like this can be a huge time saver. The Project Explorer window on the left shows all open workbooks aka "Projects", as well as all Hidden workbooks. If you have never recorded a macro before, then this workbook will not exist. First go back to the worksheet view, click the Record Macro button, click your mouse in a few cells, and stop recording the macro. XLSB will appear as a project. It will be named something like "Module1" by default - you can rename it to something more meaningful like "CreatePDFs. Be careful, you cannot assume that the highlighted code module in the Project Explorer corresponds to the open code window! Thanks for providing the code too. Thanks for the tip! This looks like a great time saver. If anyone has any recommendations for beginner resources, I would really appreciate your advice. I use macros a lot to format workbooks also. Great tip and thank you for the code! I do have one question. In my version of Excel, I have the option of creating a pdf using an "Acrobat" option on the top ribbon, which allows for printing one or more pages in a workbook. This option can be turned on by clicking on the office button at the top left, going to Customize, and choosing the "Acrobat" tab. It may be worth mentioning that this option is available perhaps not in older version of Excel? Sometime I over-simplify things and miss the point. The usage of macros and VBA may be intimidating to some, but an adventurous spirit can yield many time-saving benefits. Great way to aggregate multiple pivot table charts. I had tried to do something like this a year or so ago, but could not get it to work. I am already using it! I believe there is also a companion website which allows you to directly copy the code examples. Will definitely be trying this one. Also thanks to Angela for the the book recommendation. Just choose Acrobat as your printer, and "print" the worksheet to a pdf file. AIR member Bamby also mentioned this capability. Very useful and handy tip. I tried stepping through these and ended up with a syntax error. However, you pointed me to a very good source to learn more about VB. It has been on my "would be nice if" list for years but I was always stuck at how to get started. To do this, control-click select the tabs in the order to be printed they will be highlighted in a light color, then either print normally, or select a printer to print to pdf or Acrobat. That can sometimes be a very useful feature, but it can be annoying if you forget! However, I was never able to find a way before this macro, that is to save each worksheet in an individual pdf file without manually doing this one-by-one. And thanks for all your feedback! I use macros quite a bit and I have found some really great ones that have saved me a lot of time. I look forward to sharing more in the future! It is a very helpful tool for developers because it uses different languages like Java and. NET to convert documents from one form to another. Page 2

Chapter 5 : Convert Excel To PDF - VBA Code Print Selected Area I am trying to build a macro with several formatting functions that ultimately will print a very large workbook (s of worksheets, some containing images) to a PDF.

Name If you assign the Worksheet variable to a valid worksheet it will work fine sh. The following example uses a For Each loop. Lets take it one step further. Lets access all worksheets in all open workbooks. If you use code like this to write to worksheets then back everything up first as you could end up writing the incorrect data to all the sheets. To explain this first you need to know about a sheet type that is a chart. To do this Create a chart on any sheet. Right click on the chart and select Move. The Worksheets collection refers to all worksheets in a workbook. It does not include sheets of type chart. The Sheets collection refers to all sheets belonging to a workbook including sheets of type chart. There are two code examples below. The first goes through all the Sheets in a workbook and prints the name of the sheet and type of sheet it is. The second example does the same with the Worksheets collection. To try out these examples you should add a Chart sheet to your workbook first so you will see the difference. I hope you found it useful.
