I have created a form in excel. I will be using this form to print many duplicates of the same form but I need the forms to have numbers sequentially printed on them (ie. Ticket 001, 002, 003, etc.) Is there a way to make excel do this?

If so, can I print form numbers 001-303 and then come back later and tell excel to start printing the form using the beginning number 304-477 or whatever number I choose? Thank you!:nya:
 
I am needing the same sort of set up. I have a form that requires that these sequential numbers populate a cell in a spreadsheet when printed. I am trying to use the code above, but Im afraid I dont know how to use it. Could you detail how I might insert this code into excel so that the numbers requested by the code populate a certain cell while printing?

Excel Facts

How to fill five years of quarters?
Type 1Q-2023 in a cell. Grab the fill handle and drag down or right. After 4Q-2023, Excel will jump to 1Q-2024. Dash can be any character.
If you just need two copies printed out, this might work:

Code:
Sub PrintJobs()
Dim i As Long, startnum As Long, lastnum As Long

    startnum = Application.InputBox("Enter the first job number to be printed", "Print Job Number", 1, , , , , 1)
    lastnum = Application.InputBox("Enter the last job number to be printed", "Print Job Number", 1, , , , , 1)

    For i = startnum To lastnum
        Range("B1").Value = i
        ActiveWindow.SelectedSheets.PrintOut copies:=2
    Next

End Sub


about this code, i'm already using this for a month, but i just wondering if this code can print in descending (100, 100, 99, 99. . . 2, 2, 1, 1) instead of ascending (1, 1, 2, 2. . 99, 99, 100, 100) ??
can you help me what would be the code?

Thanks!

thank you for the information as it worked perfectly but only problem is in every cell or row i click it shows the printing option so is it possible to make it print only clicking the specific cell.
Eg: if B1 is the cell value than i want print option to be active if clicking the specific cell (B1)

Thank you

Hi,

Can I ask help on how to print multiple sequential numbers in different cells? The numbers in each cells will increment every after printing.

Example at Cell(B2) = 001 to 010
Cell(D2) = 100 to 110
Cell(E2) = 200 to 211
and so on....

Hello,

Can anyone make me macro code for printing sequential numbers:

first printing document:
G13=105
G14=105

G31=106
G31=106

Next printing document:
G13=107
G14=107

G31=108
G31=108

And so on.....

You can use a macro such as this:

Code:
Sub PrintJobs()
Dim i As Long, startnum As Long, lastnum As Long

    startnum = Application.InputBox("Enter the first job number to be printed", "Print Job Number", 1, , , , , 1)
    lastnum = Application.InputBox("Enter the last job number to be printed", "Print Job Number", 1, , , , , 1)

    For i = startnum To lastnum
        Range("B1").Value = i
        ActiveWindow.SelectedSheets.PrintOut
    Next

End Sub


Hi,

I'm new to excel macros - I'm trying to print off a number of invoices that increase invoice number with each print. Have done the macros to do this for single print and I'm trying to figure out your macros to do multiple prints!

Can you advise on what to put in the 1,,,,,,1 bit as I think that's where I'm messing up.

This is my formula:

Range("E46:F47").Select
ActiveCell.FormulaR1C1 = ActiveCell.FormulaR1C1 + 1
ActiveWindow.SelectedSheets.PrintOut copies:=1


Dim i As Long, startnum As Long, lastnum As Long


startnum = Application.InputBox("31", "Print Job Number", 1, , , , , 1)
lastnum = Application.InputBox("122", "Print Job Number", 1, , , , , 1)


For i = startnum To lastnum
Range("E46:F47").Value = i
ActiveWindow.SelectedSheets.PrintOut copies:=2
Next


End Sub



I need to print from page 31 to 122 - any help?

Thank you!!

Hi btadams,Amazed about your brilliance! your code is very helpful to me especially that i have no single idea about macro. BTW, do you think it is possible that instead of adding value 1 to each series we can use the value of 2? i have been trying to change all figures of 1 to 2 but i have no luck. it is because i cannot understand the whole formula thing. Say, the first job number is Code #0001 then the next job number becomes "#0003" not #0002 which the code below will generate. Thank you very much for your time =)LoveBird Cloud9

I'm trying to do something similar. We've decided to create our own MRIS slips for material issuing. I've created a form in Excel and had a coworker help me with the macro as I'm very inexperienced with code. I have 2 forms per page and he was able to set it up so they continue in order after each print. Is there a way to do this so we are able to print say 100 copies and it will number them automatically? For example, I want cell F1 to have 2000000 and cell F24 to have 2000001. and then on the next page -02 and -03 and so on. Right now it's a bit time consuming to print how I am with the quantities we go through. Thanks!
