Printout VBA code

ChrisBEE1 · Feb 1st 2003

Hi all,

I trying to develop a macro to print my worksheets. Here's the problem, I never know how much data my end-users will incorporate into any one worksheet. In some instances, one worksheet can result in five pages or more of printout.

How do I acheive the following:

1.) set a page break so that if, for example, I have 400 rows or 4000 rows of data that each page print 40 rows data.

2.) print multiple row column headings on each page.

Iwould appreciate any help on the subject.

Thanks,
Chris:)

The code below gives an example of what you can do. Change it according to your specific needs.

Code

Sub PrintAreaWithpageBreaks()
Dim pages As Integer
Dim pageBegin As String
Dim PrArea As String
Dim i As Integer
Dim q As Integer
Dim nRows As Integer, nPagebreaks As Integer
Dim R As Range
Set R = ActiveSheet.UsedRange
'add pagebreak every 40 rows
nRows = R.Rows.Count
If nRows &gt; 40 Then
  nPagebreaks = Int(nRows / 40)
  For i = 1 To nPagebreaks
     ActiveWindow.SelectedSheets.HPageBreaks.Add Before:=R.Cells(40 * i + 1, 1)
  Next i
End If
'can be used in a separate macro, as I start counting the number of pagebreaks
pages = ActiveSheet.HPageBreaks.Count
pageBegin = "$A$1"
For i = 1 To pages
  If i &gt; 1 Then pageBegin = ActiveSheet.HPageBreaks(i - 1).Location.Address
  q = ActiveSheet.HPageBreaks(i).Location.Row - 1
  PrArea = pageBegin & ":" & "$H$" & Trim$(Str$(q))
  ActiveSheet.PageSetup.PrintArea = PrArea
  ' the cell in column 1 and in the row immediately below the pagebreak
  ' contains text for the footer
  ActiveSheet.PageSetup.CenterFooter = Cells(q, 1)
'  ActiveSheet.PrintOut copies:=1
Next i
End Sub

Re: Request for help with printout code

can I ask what this means?
ActiveSheet.PageSetup.CenterFooter = Cells(q, 1)

I am working on a macro that breaks each page based on the value in column B. My second part is to have a footer say the value in that column, as it will be the same for each page. When the page breaks for the next value, the footer would change as well.

Is that what this will do?

Thanks!
