Hi all,

Not only am I new to the macro world, my macros are still at the recording stage...so bear with me please...

After trying for 2 days to complete my macros with the recorder, with no success, I am going crazy. I need your help to do the following please..!.

 

My workbook has two worksheets that I need to user to be able to Save as a PDF with a fixed name and Print out (assuming they have a printer connected...).

The first worksheet is called "BANK ACCOUNT" and is text, in a fixed range that needs to be Saved and Printed.

The second worksheet is called "Schedules" and has 3 tables that need to be filtered (remove 0), Saved, Printed, and then refiltered back to their original state (Select all).

Reading thru the threads here, I've tried using some parts from past solutions but I think the combination of "clean code" with my recorded code is just making it worse....

Any help greatly greatly appreciated.

Thank you.

 

I've posted my latest attempts on the 4 separate macros below...

 

 

Sub Xbankprint()

Sheets("BANK ACCOUNT").Visible = True
Range("B3:F10").Select
Sheets("Dashboard").Select

Sheets("BANK ACCOUNT").Select
ActiveWindow.SelectedSheets.Visible = False

ActiveWindow.Zoom = True

End Sub

Try this code:

Sub Macro1()
Dim Tbl As ListObject

Set Tbl = ThisWorkbook.Worksheets("Schedules").ListObjects("BILLS")
Tbl.Range.AutoFilter Field:=Tbl.ListColumns("Amount").Index, Criteria1:="<>0", Operator:=xlAnd
Tbl.Range.ExportAsFixedFormat Type:=xlTypePDF, Filename:= _
"C:\Users\Catalin\Desktop\Bills.pdf", Quality:=xlQualityStandard, _
IncludeDocProperties:=True, IgnorePrintAreas:=False, OpenAfterPublish:= _
True
Tbl.Range.AutoFilter Field:=Tbl.ListColumns("Amount").Index

Set Tbl = ThisWorkbook.Worksheets("Schedules").ListObjects("CREDIT")
Tbl.Range.AutoFilter Field:=Tbl.ListColumns("Amount").Index, Criteria1:="<>0", Operator:=xlAnd
Tbl.Range.ExportAsFixedFormat Type:=xlTypePDF, Filename:= _
"C:\Users\Catalin\Desktop\CREDIT.pdf", Quality:=xlQualityStandard, _
IncludeDocProperties:=True, IgnorePrintAreas:=False, OpenAfterPublish:= _
True
Tbl.Range.AutoFilter Field:=Tbl.ListColumns("Amount").Index

Set Tbl = ThisWorkbook.Worksheets("Schedules").ListObjects("DEBIT")
Tbl.Range.AutoFilter Field:=Tbl.ListColumns("Amount").Index, Criteria1:="<>0", Operator:=xlAnd
Tbl.Range.ExportAsFixedFormat Type:=xlTypePDF, Filename:= _
"C:\Users\Catalin\Desktop\DEBIT.pdf", Quality:=xlQualityStandard, _
IncludeDocProperties:=True, IgnorePrintAreas:=False, OpenAfterPublish:= _
True
Tbl.Range.AutoFilter Field:=Tbl.ListColumns("Amount").Index

ThisWorkbook.Worksheets("Bank Account").ExportAsFixedFormat Type:=xlTypePDF, Filename:= _
"C:\Users\Catalin\Desktop\Book1.pdf", Quality:=xlQualityStandard, _
IncludeDocProperties:=True, IgnorePrintAreas:=False, OpenAfterPublish:= _
True
Set Tbl = Nothing
End Sub
