I am trying to set the print area in a macro. I have varying lines of data
and the last column of data does not contain the last row of data. In the
code below, which I copied in a previous post from Ivan Raiminius, how do I
add 3 rows to my range so that the print area will include all my data?

Sub PrintArea()
'
' PrintArea Macro
' Macro recorded 11/20/2008 by Network Administrator
'

'
Dim i As Long
Dim j As Long
Dim rng As Range
Set rng = Range("a1..n1") ' the address of first row of data you want to
Print out
j = 0
For i = 1 To rng.Columns.Count
j = WorksheetFunction.Max(j, rng.Cells(Application.Rows.Count - rng.Row,
1).End(xlUp).Row)
Next i
ActiveSheet.PageSetup.PrintArea = rng.Resize(j - rng.Row + 1,
rng.Columns.Count).Address

End Sub

Thanks so much for your help..

i would say, change this:

ActiveSheet.PageSetup.PrintArea = rng.Resize(j - rng.Row + 1,
rng.Columns.Count).Address

to this

ActiveSheet.PageSetup.PrintArea = rng.Resize(j - rng.Row + 4,
rng.Columns.Count).Address

that would add 3 more rows.

I'd suggest a slightly different approach:

Sub SetPrintArea()
Dim Rng As Range
Dim LastCell As Range
Set Rng = Range("a1:n1") ' the address of first row of data you want to
Set LastCell = Rng.EntireColumn.Find("*", Rng.Cells(1), , , ,
xlPrevious)
Rng.Resize(LastCell.Row - Rng.Row + 1).Name = "Print_Area"
End Sub
