I'm trying to make a print button Macro that prints to pdf, but also names the file based on vales in several cells.

I would like the naming convention to look like this:

Cells on Sheet:
F12 - First Name
F13 - Surname
F14 - Staff Number

What i want the save name to look like is this:

SURNAME, First name - Staff number - Leave Loading.PDF

SMITH, John - 89569812 - Leave Loading.PDF


Is this achievable? Im still quite new to macro writing, and any help would be greatly appreciated.

My print code so far looks like this, just not sure how to add the naming convention?

Sub print_sheets_by_name()

Worksheets("Leave Loadiing").PrintOut

End Sub

I have also tried to add these lines but im getting errors back and im not sure what im missing:

Dim FileName As String
FileName = Worksheets("Leave Loading").Range("F13") & (",") & ("F12") & "-" & ("F14") & "Leave Loading" & ".pdf"

Worksheets(PrintSheets).ExportAsFixedFormat _
Type:=xlTypePDF, _
FileName:=FileName, _
Quality:=xlQualityStandard, _
IncludeDocProperties:=True, _
IgnorePrintAreas:=False, _
OpenAfterPublish:=True


Thanks in advance!
 

Excel Facts

Copy formula down without changing references
If you have =SUM(F2:F49) in F50; type Alt+' in F51 to copy =SUM(F2:F49) to F51, leaving the formula in edit mode. Change SUM to COUNT.
Maybe. (Saves into same folder where your excel workbook with the code has been saved into)
Code:
Sub For_Down_Under()
Dim sh1 As Worksheet, fn As String
Set sh1 = Worksheets("Sheet1")    '<----- Change as needed
fn = sh1.Range("F13").Value & ", " & sh1.Range("F12").Value & " - " & sh1.Range("F14").Value & " Leave Loading"
sh1.PrintOut , , , , , True, , ThisWorkbook.Path & "\" & fn & ".PDF"
End Sub
