Hi Ryan,
If you want to print consecutive pages such as 1-5 in a worksheet based on a cell value, please specify a cell such as A1 as Text formatting, type 1-5 into it, keep this cell selecting, and then run the below VBA code.
Sub Print_Pages()
Dim xPage As String
Dim xYesorNo As Integer
Dim xI As String
Dim xPArr() As String
Dim xIS, xIE, xF, xNum As Integer
xPage = ActiveCell.Value
xYesorNo = MsgBox("Ready to print page" & xPage & " ", vbYesNo, "Kutools for Excel")
If xYesorNo = vbYes Then xPArr() = Split(xPage, "-")
If UBound(xPArr) = 0 Then If IsEmpty(xPage) And IsNumeric(xPage) Then
MsgBox "Please specify a cell and enter a page in cell" Exit Sub
End If xNum = Int(xPage)
ActiveSheet.PrintOut from:=xNum, To:=xNum, preview:=True ElseIf UBound(xPArr) = 1 Then
On Error GoTo Err01 xIS = Int(xPArr(0))
xIE = Int(xPArr(1)) If xIS < xIE Then
For xF = xIS To xIE ActiveSheet.PrintOut from:=xF, To:=xF, preview:=True
Next Else
For xF = xIE To xIS ActiveSheet.PrintOut from:=xF, To:=xF, preview:=True
Next End If
Else MsgBox "Please enter the valid data", vbOKOnly, "Kutools for Excel"
Exit Sub End If
Else Exit Sub
End If
Exit Sub
Err01:
MsgBox "Please enter the correct page scope", vbOKOnly, "Kutools for Excel"
End Sub
Thank you. I have the same issue I want to print pages based on cell value. Lets say variable changes i.e page 1-5 and then some time 2-6. So I have a field which will calculate and will put that in text format as suggested.But for some reason it doesnt work for me. It doesnt prints any pages.
