Print sheet based on adjacent cell with VBA

If you have multiple sheets in a workbook, and you want to print one or several sheets based on cell values from this workbook, you can do as below:

1. Create a new sheet named Control Sheet in the workbook you use, and list all sheet name in column A (include or exclude the control sheet as you need). See screenshot:

2. Type “print” in the adjacent cell next to the sheet name if you want to print it. See screenshot shown.

3. Press Alt + F11 keys to enable the Microsoft Visual Basic for Applications window, and click Insert > Module. See screenshot：

4. Paste below code to the Module, and press F5 key to run the code.

VBA: Print based on adjacent cell

Sub CreateControlSheet()
'UpdatebyExtendoffice20170811
    Dim i As Integer
    Dim xCSheetRow As Integer
    Dim xSName As String
    Dim xCSheet As Variant
    Dim xRgVal As String
    On Error Resume Next
    xSName = "Control Sheet"
    Application.ScreenUpdating = False
    Application.DisplayAlerts = False
    Set xCSheet = ActiveWorkbook.Worksheets(xSName)
    xCSheetRow = xCSheet.Range("B65536").End(xlUp).Row
    For i = 2 To xCSheetRow
        xRgVal = xCSheet.Range("B" & i).Value
        If xRgVal = "Print" Or xRgVal = "print" Then
            If xCSheet.Range("A" & i).Value <> "" Then
                ActiveWorkbook.Worksheets(xCSheet.Range("A" & i).Value).PrintOut
            End If
        End If
    Next
    xCSheet.Delete
    ActiveWorkbook.Worksheets.Add
    ActiveSheet.Name = "Control Sheet"
    Range("A1").Select
    ActiveCell.FormulaR1C1 = "Sheet Name"
    Range("B1").Select
    ActiveCell.FormulaR1C1 = "Print?"
    For i = 1 To ActiveWorkbook.Worksheets.Count
        Range("A" & i + 1).Value = ActiveWorkbook.Worksheets(i).Name
    Next
    Cells.Columns.AutoFit
    Application.DisplayAlerts = True
    Application.ScreenUpdating = True
End Sub

 

After running the code, the sheet(s) will be printed right now, and at the same time, a new Control Sheet will replace the old one.
