Hi,

I have an Excel worksheet that has some rows that sometimes do not need to
appear in a print out (for instance if a specific column has a "NO" in it). I
could perhaps make the text same color as background (is there a better
technique to not print that text?) but the rows in the printout are numbered
so I get discontinous numbering when some of the rows are indeed to be
excluded from printing.

Can someone provide some insight as to the best and simplest solution?
I really have very little experience with Excel although a lot with C#/C++...

Thanks in advance,

Hey Juan,

the most simple solution that I can think of is hiding those rows for the
moment...

Hello Juan,

From your post, my understanding on this issue is: you want to print the
rows of a Excel worksheet satisfying certain conditions and appropriately
adjust the serial number. If I'm off base, please feel free to let me know.

Here are two approaches:
(The sample codes below is written in C#. To learn how to bind Office
automation servers with Visual C# .NET, please refer to the kb:
http://support.microsoft.com/kb/302902/)

Approach 1. Call Hidden = true for the rows to be filtered, and
appropriately adjust the numbering.
Step 1: Hide the rows and adjust the numbering: (please refer to the
following pseudo code)
int hiddenRowsCount = 0; // used to count the hidden rows
Excel.Worksheet sheet = (Excel.Worksheet)document.Worksheets[index];
for (int i = 1; i <= sheet.UsedRange.Rows.Count; i++) {
Excel.Range range = (Excel.Range)sheet.Rows[i, missing];
// judge whether the row should not be printed out.
if (/*the row should not be printed out*/) {
range.EntireRow.Hidden = true; // hide the entire row
hiddenRowsCount++;
} else {
// adjust the numbering according to the hiddenRowsCount
Excel.Range numberingCell = (Excel.Range)range.Cells[missing,
/*the numbering column*/];
numberingCell.Value2 =
int.Parse(numberingCell.Value2.ToString()) - hiddenRowsCount;
}
}

Step 2: Print the worksheet by calling PrintOut

Step 3: Recover the worksheet by calling Hidden=false and re-adjust the
numbering column:
int hiddenRowsCount = 0; // used to count the hidden rows
Excel.Worksheet sheet = (Excel.Worksheet)document.Worksheets[index];
for (int i = 1; i <= sheet.UsedRange.Rows.Count; i++) {
Excel.Range range = (Excel.Range)sheet.Rows[i, missing];
// judge whether the row should not be printed out.
if (/*the row is hidden*/ range.EntireRow.Hidden) {
range.EntireRow.Hidden = false; // hide the entire row
hiddenRowsCount++;
} else {
// adjust the numbering according to the hiddenRowsCount
Excel.Range numberingCell = (Excel.Range)range.Cells[missing,
/*the numbering column*/];
numberingCell.Value2 =
int.Parse(numberingCell.Value2.ToString()) + hiddenRowsCount;
}
}

Approach 2. If the data in the worksheet is not big, we can copy the data
to a new worksheet, iterate the rows and Delete the rows that should not be
printed out. Then we could call AutoFill to adjust the numbering column and
print the sheet out. Finally, we delete this worksheet.
Excel.Range range = sheet.get_Range("A1", "A2");
Excel.Range destination = sheet.get_Range("A1", "A33");
range.AutoFill(destination,
Microsoft.Office.Interop.Excel.XlAutoFillType.xlFi llDefault);

Please let me know if you have any other concerns, or need anything else.
