Page Breaks based on cell data
Hi,
I was wondering if anyone knew how to create a macro to insert a page break after a number of values in a column. For example: Column A Category Cat Cat Cat Dog Dog Sheep Sheep Sheep I want to insert a page break in between cat and dog and in between dog and sheep. Any ideas? |

Page Breaks based on cell data
I'd use data|subtotals.
There's an option to insert page breaks between groups on that dialog. And I could even get subtotals (counts, sums, averages,...) if I wanted them.

Page Breaks based on cell data
Hi Dave,
I've tried that and the page breaks are fine except I don't want any subtotals or totals calculated. Unless you know of a way to get the page breaks without excel making any calculations??

Page Breaks based on cell data
Here is what i would do Assuming the data in column a has been sorted i would write a macro with the following code: Sub pagebreak() Dim value1 As String Dim value2 As String Range("A2").Select Do While ActiveCell.Value < "" value1 = ActiveCell.Value ActiveCell.Offset(1, 0).Select value2 = ActiveCell.Value If value1 < value2 Then ActiveCell.EntireRow.Select ActiveWindow.SelectedSheets.HPageBreaks.Add Befo=ActiveCell Else End If Loop End Sub -- Steel Monkey ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Steel Monkey's Profile: http://www.excelforum.com/member.php...o&userid=29051 View this thread: http://www.excelforum.com/showthread...hreadid=558694 |

Page Breaks based on cell data
Looking at this I think it is in the direction of my problem. What I am
tryiong to do is set page break based on the size of cell in column (M). This cell varies in size and I am trying to have its contents not split to second page. I have never done page breaks before. If my idea is correct the selection row could be changed to cell size? Cell is changed to wrap when printing. All assistance greatly appreciated.
