Posted by Thomas On September - 9 - 201010 COMMENTS

Macro button1 Advanced Macros in Excel—Save to PDF [Part 2 of 2]This is part two of a new series I’m writing, teaching you how to get more functionality out of your Excel. If you are not familiar with Macros I suggest you read the first part, before beginning on this one.

In Part Two…

In this part we are starting off  using some of the commands you should know, and then create a Macro that decide filename, which folder to use, before exporting the document to PDF-format. I am also going to show you how to create a button to trigger the macro.

As in the first part, I am using Office 2010. Even though the code and programming are the same in older versions of Excel, the images and buttons may differ from what you see on your screen.

Enough Chit Chat, let’s get this party started…

Macro button Advanced Macros in Excel—Beginners Guide [Part 1 of 2]IF you are to really learn just one Office application, then you should choose Excel. Because it is the most versatile and powerful of all the Office applications.  With Excel you can almost get rid of the other Office applications all together. A side from the normal calculations you can write letters, create databases with powerful reports and analyze tools, create useful forms for everyday chores, and program powerful small applets. Within certain limits of course.

Using Advanced Macros

Most users have come across the word MACRO, one time or another using Excel. A macro is a recording of sorts, that stores your actions, step by step. Macros are used to eliminate the need to repeat the steps of common tasks over and over. Tasks such as adding or removing rows and columns, selecting a range of cells, or changing textcolor, fonts etc. In Excel, macros are written in Visual Basic for Applications (VBA). For those who cannot write VBA code, Excel allows you to record a series of steps – using keyboard and mouse – that Excel then converts into a macro.
In a few upcoming articles I am going to show you how you can create powerful and effective macros that hopefully will take your Excel experience to another level. How about letting Excel Copying Sheets, renaming them, Choose filenames, choosing between file locations and save the document as PDF sound ?

Sounds interesting ?
