code to create multiple screen-selection prints

[palaeontology]

Hi all,

I have a sheet called 'Year 8'. In that sheet I have ....
* 25 student names in the range B6:B107 ... each student has 4 rows allocated to them, example, student A has data from C6:AV9
* student results from C6:AV107
* Column Headings in the range B5:AV5

I'd like to have a single button, that when pressed, takes 25 screen shots .... each shot would have the individual student's 4 rows visible directly underneath the row 5 column headings.

I also have a sheet called 'Year 8 Screen Shots'. In that sheet I have ...
* the same 25 student names as those found in the 'Year 8' sheet. These names are found in the range B2:B26
* the 25 student email addresses in the range C2:C26

I'd like the 25 screen shots (taken from the press of the button in the 'Year 8' sheet) to be sent to the corresponding cells in column C of the sheet called 'Year 8 Screen Shots'

Is this possible ?

Kind regards,

Chris

These will get you started :

To save range as GIF :

Option Explicit


Sub Save_Range_As_GIF()
    Dim MyChart As Chart
    Dim objPict As Object
    Dim RgCopy As Range
    
    Range("B2:G24").CopyPicture Appearance:=xlScreen, Format:=xlBitmap
    ActiveSheet.PasteSpecial Format:="Bitmap"
    Set objPict = Selection
        
    objPict.CopyPicture 1, 1
    Set MyChart = ActiveSheet.ChartObjects.Add(1, 1, objPict.Width + 10, objPict.Height + 10).Chart
    
    With MyChart
        .Paste
        .Export ThisWorkbook.Path & Application.PathSeparator & "Temp.gif"
        .Parent.Delete
    End With
    
    MsgBox ThisWorkbook.Path & Application.PathSeparator & "Temp.gif" & " is created !"
    
    objPict.Delete
    Set objPict = Nothing
End Sub

To save range as JPG :

Option Explicit


Sub Example1()
Dim i As Integer
Dim intCount As Integer
Dim objPic As Shape
Dim objChart As Chart


'copy the range as an image
Call Sheet1.Range("A1:E12").CopyPicture(xlScreen, xlPicture)


    'remove all previous shapes in sheet2
    intCount = Sheet2.Shapes.Count
        For i = 1 To intCount
            Sheet2.Shapes.Item(1).Delete
        Next i
    'create an empty chart in sheet2
    Sheet2.Shapes.AddChart
    'activate sheet2
    Sheet2.Activate
    'select the shape in sheet2
    Sheet2.Shapes.Item(1).Select
    Set objChart = ActiveChart
    'paste the range into the chart
    objChart.Paste
    'save the chart as a JPEG
    objChart.Export ("C:\Users\My\Desktop\TestImage.Jpeg")
    
End Sub

Hi Logit, thankyou so much for starting me with this code, I'll certainly be able to massage it from here.

One question .... the chart that the image is currently being pasted into seems to be a default width of 12.7cm and a height of 7.62cm, however, I'd like the chart to always be 46cm wide and 4cm high.

Is this possible ?

Kind regards,

Chris

The code is copying this range : Range("B2:G24").CopyPicture Appearance:=xlScreen, Format:=xlBitmap




Then the code is "padding" a boundary around the copied range with this :


objPict.CopyPicture 1, 1
Set MyChart = ActiveSheet.ChartObjects.Add(1, 1, objPict.Width + 10, objPict.Height + 10).Chart


If the range you are copying in your project is exceeds your desired size, then you would need to use other code
to resize image that will be pasted.

Here is a thread that might get you going in that direction : https://www.mrexcel.com/forum/excel-questions/467651-resizing-picture-excel-using-vba.html
I did a search for "vba resize copied image".
