Hi Dave,

Thanks for your input, I certainly understand where you are coming from as
that was what I wanted to do as well. However, this spreadsheet is the basis
for about eight other attached worksheets that gather information on pricing,
remanufacturing and inventory. This is a project of mine to do some time in
2007, however I was looking to see if there was some way to do this without
revamping the current layout.

Thanks again for your thoughts!

Just a suggestion...

I'd spend time rearranging the data so that the quantities go in one column.

Then I'd apply Data|Filter|autofilter to that column with the quantities.

You can filter to show non-blanks (or greater than 0) and print that.

It may be easier to implement, too. (And less work that has to be thrown
away???)

Hello,

I am trying to create a packing list of items needed for an order. I
currently have a spreadsheet that lists all available items in various sizes
etc. Instead of printing off this entire sheet, which would go accross two
pages and down two pages I would like a form created which will list(print)
only the items selected.

I am running Excel 2003, XP Pro. The current worksheet contains columns for
the item description a blank column for the quantity that the Sales Rep
enters in, along with the cost and selling price of that item. There are
over 200 items. The items are fairly static, in other words, we don't add
parts too frequently, so it's not real dynamic. The set of four columns then
repeats across the width of the sheet with additonal items and information.

I'm looking for a printout of only those items where the Sales Rep has
entered in the quantity. I assume this can be done via a macro, however I am
unsure of the exact langauage to use - something along the lines of:

Look at a list of specific cells for the quantity entered.

If Quantity is non blank, copy description (which will be in a cell directly
to the left of the quantity cell) and the quantity to another worksheet
within the same workbook.

Go to next quantity cell location and repeat until done.

The result would then be my "packing list" which would list only those
items, along with the quantity, on a separate worksheet so that I could print
that off.

The quantity cell locations are in more than one column, and would almost
have to be manually entered in to be checked for quantity in the macro.

At some point in the future I am planning on re-vamping this form so that
the quantities are all in the same column, I assume this task would be much
easier if this were the case.

Thanks in advance for all your help and suggestions!

Mark
