Page Break when a column changes
 

Hi, I have a huge table which I have to update every week and then insert page breaks after a cahnge on column A

the data looks like this:

Author (Title is always at A6) .....
Peter
Total 1
Total 2
Jason
Total 1
Total 2

Is it possible to create a macro that will insert pagebreaks after any change in column A, after row A6 (so it will exclude the title and info that comes before that), but that it also excludes changes that include the fixed text "total 1" and "total 2"?

So it will look:

Author
Peter
Total 1
Total 2

(page break)

Jason
total 1
Total 2

Thanks for your help!!

try:
Sub PageBreak()
Dim LRow As Long
Dim rngC As Range

With ActiveSheet
LRow = .Cells(Rows.Count, 1).End(xlUp).Row
.ResetAllPageBreaks
For Each rngC In Range("A6:A" & LRow)
If rngC = "Total 2" Then
.HPageBreaks.Add rngC.Offset(1, 0)
End If
Next
End With
End Sub

Thank you, this works on 80% of the cases, but realize something else, not all the Authors will have a Total 2, some of them only have a Total 1. Any idea on how I can work around this? Thanks

I found something that works:

Sub Macro1()

Dim LRow As Long
Dim rngC As Range

With ActiveSheet
LRow = .Cells(Rows.Count, 1).End(xlUp).Row
.ResetAllPageBreaks
For Each rngC In Range("A6:A" & LRow)
If rngC Like "*(?????)" Then
.HPageBreaks.Add rngC.Offset(1, 10)
End If
Next
End With


End Sub


I found that the common denominator here was the ID between parenthesis. So this works, I just need it to insert the page break before that line and not after like it is doing it right now. Any ideas?? Thanks for the code!

better try:

Sub PageBreak()
Dim LRow As Long
Dim rngC As Range

With ActiveSheet
LRow = .Cells(Rows.Count, 1).End(xlUp).Row
.ResetAllPageBreaks
For Each rngC In Range("A6:A" & LRow + 1)
If Left(rngC, 5) < "Total" Then
.HPageBreaks.Add rngC
End If
Next
End With
End Sub
