I have a basic excel template used for ordering parts. It runs from A1:N250
and I can print easily repeating rows 1:11 on each page (contains job details)

. Trouble is sometimes there may only be 10 part numbers requiring only first
page and I finish up throwing away trees by printing entire sheet! I know I
can reset print area each time am setting this up on Sharepoint for multi
users and need a macro/button to recognise number of items and print
accordingly. Any help greatly appreciated

Sub SetPrintArea()
'change this constant
'to point to the column
'that will Always have entries
'down to the last used row on
'the parts order sheet
'it should be a column that
'you type data into, not one
'with a formula.
Const keyColumn = "A"

ActiveSheet.PageSetup.PrintArea = "$A$1:$N$" _
& Range(keyColumn & Rows.Count).End(xlUp).Row
ActiveWindow.SelectedSheets.PrintOut Copies:=1

End Sub

Put this macro into your workbook:
Open the workbook, press [Alt]+[F11] to open the VB Editor then choose
Insert -- Module and copy and paste the code into the code module presented
to you. Change the letter for the 'keyColumn' as needed. Close the VB
Editor.

Add a button from the Forms toolbar or a text box to your worksheet and
assign the macro to it so that when it is clicked, the print area will be
reset and a copy of the sheet will be printed.
