Having a little trouble with the below code. It's only displaying one page when more data exists for a second print preview page.

VBA Code:
Sub PrintJuniors2021()
Dim LastRow As Long
Application.ScreenUpdating = False
Columns("AN:BQ").EntireColumn.Hidden = False
LastRow = Sheets("2021").Range("AO" & Rows.Count).End(xlUp).Row
Sheets("2021").PageSetup.PrintArea = "AO2:AT107" & LastRow
With ActiveSheet.PageSetup
    .Orientation = xlLandscape
    End With
ActiveSheet.PrintPreview
Columns("AN:BQ").EntireColumn.Hidden = True
End Sub
 
It's not showing anything. I have to click on 'show print preview' but then it's just blank pages. No change removing the .Zoom line.

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.
Any difference?

VBA Code:
Sub PrintJuniors2021()
    Dim LastRow As Long
    Application.ScreenUpdating = False
    Sheets("2021").Columns("AN:BQ").Hidden = False
    LastRow = Sheets("2021").Range("AO" & Rows.Count).End(xlUp).Row
   
    Sheets("2021").PageSetup.PrintArea = ""
    Application.PrintCommunication = False
   
    With Sheets("2021").PageSetup
        .Orientation = xlLandscape
        .PrintArea = Sheets("2021").Range("AO2:AT" & LastRow).Address
    End With
    Application.PrintCommunication = True
    Application.CommandBars.ExecuteMso ("PrintPreviewAndPrint")
 
    'Sheets("2021").Columns("AN:BQ").Hidden = True
End Sub

That works! It's still forcing me to click on 'Show Print Preview', and it isn't doing the last row at all - just printing all rows.

When I try to allow the hiding of the columns again, I'm back to getting blank sheets.

This is where I'm at now. Couple of adjustments to columns etc.

VBA Code:
Sub PrintJuniors2021()
    Dim LastRow As Long
    Application.ScreenUpdating = False
    Sheets("2021").Unprotect Password:=""
    Sheets("2021").Columns("Aq:av").Hidden = False
    LastRow = Sheets("2021").Range("Ar" & Rows.Count).End(xlUp).Row
   
    Sheets("2021").PageSetup.PrintArea = ""
    Application.PrintCommunication = False
   
    With Sheets("2021").PageSetup
        .Orientation = xlLandscape
        .PrintArea = Sheets("2021").Range("Aq1:Av" & LastRow).Address
    End With
    Application.PrintCommunication = True
    Application.CommandBars.ExecuteMso ("PrintPreviewAndPrint")
'    Sheets("2021").Columns("Aq:av").Hidden = True
    Sheets("2021").Protect Password:=""
End Sub

It is finding the Last row fine for me, what is in showing as the range for Print_Area under name manager once the macro has run?

It doesn't for me in 365, it brings up

What I do notice is the 2021 sheet has to be active when the code runs.


VBA Code:
Sub PrintJuniors2021()
    Dim LastRow As Long
    Application.ScreenUpdating = False
    Sheets("2021").Columns("AN:BQ").Hidden = False
    LastRow = Sheets("2021").Range("AO" & Rows.Count).End(xlUp).Row
   
    Sheets("2021").PageSetup.PrintArea = ""
    Application.PrintCommunication = False
   
    With Sheets("2021").PageSetup
        .Orientation = xlLandscape
        .PrintArea = Sheets("2021").Range("AO2:AT" & LastRow).Address
    End With
    Application.PrintCommunication = True
    Sheets("2021").Activate
    Application.CommandBars.ExecuteMso ("PrintPreviewAndPrint")

    'Sheets("2021").Columns("AN:BQ").Hidden = True
End Sub

Are you sure that you have nothing below your data in column AO? including formulas returning "".

Ah yes, that's the issue! I've got an iferror returning ""... This is for all cells in the range.

Rich (BB code):
Sub PrintJuniors2021()
    Dim LastRow As Long
    Application.ScreenUpdating = False
    Sheets("2021").Columns("AN:BQ").Hidden = False
    LastRow = Sheets("2021").Columns("AO").Find("*", , xlValues, , xlByRows, xlPrevious).Row
    Sheets("2021").PageSetup.PrintArea = ""
    Application.PrintCommunication = False
    
    With Sheets("2021").PageSetup
        .Orientation = xlLandscape
        .PrintArea = Sheets("2021").Range("AO2:AT" & LastRow).Address
    End With
    Application.PrintCommunication = True
    Sheets("2021").Activate
    Application.CommandBars.ExecuteMso ("PrintPreviewAndPrint")
 
    'Sheets("2021").Columns("AN:BQ").Hidden = True
End Sub

Solution
That's it! Is there any way for force the Show Print Preview? And, I'd really like to be able to automatically hide the columns after the macro has run?

This is the latest:

VBA Code:
Sub PrintJuniors2021()
    Dim LastRow As Long
    Application.ScreenUpdating = False
    Sheets("2021").Unprotect Password:=""
    Sheets("2021").Columns("Aq:av").Hidden = False
    LastRow = Sheets("2021").Columns("AR").Find("*", , xlValues, , xlByRows, xlPrevious).Row
   
    Sheets("2021").PageSetup.PrintArea = ""
    Application.PrintCommunication = False
   
    With Sheets("2021").PageSetup
        .Orientation = xlLandscape
        .PrintArea = Sheets("2021").Range("Aq1:Av" & LastRow).Address
    End With
    Application.PrintCommunication = True
    Application.CommandBars.ExecuteMso ("PrintPreviewAndPrint")
'    Sheets("2021").Columns("Aq:av").Hidden = True
    Sheets("2021").Protect Password:=""
End Sub
