Hello,

How can I set the print area automatically based on a cell with a range?

For example, lets suppose that I have this in cell A1 --> E2:K4;E7:K9;E18:K19;E23:K25

Using VBA, how can I set this print area? I suppose that I have to use ActiveSheet.PageSetup.PrintArea function but I don't know how (VBA noob!)

Thanks a lot,

brunosm

Workdays for a market open Mon, Wed, Friday?
Yes! Use "0101011" for the weekend argument in NETWORKDAYS.INTL or WORKDAY.INTL. The 7 digits start on Monday. 1 means it is a weekend.
This is how you would do it.

Code:
Sub setPrintArea()
Dim ws As Worksheet
Set ws = Sheets("Sheet1")

ws.PageSetup.PrintArea = Range("A1").Text

End Sub

Also, you need to change your text in A1. Separate your ranges by commas, not semicolons.

Code:
E2:K4,E7:K9,E18:K19,E23:K25
