Hello,

I have an excel file with hundreds of sheets, I need something that helps me simplify the print process of selecting each sheet that i need. All the sheets that I need to print are between sheet 10 and sheet 70, sheets are labeled e.i. sheet 10 reads USA, sheet 11 is Canada...sheet 70 Russia... any ideas?

Thanks
 

Excel Facts

Which came first: VisiCalc or Lotus 1-2-3?
Dan Bricklin and Bob Frankston debuted VisiCalc in 1979 as a Visible Calculator. Lotus 1-2-3 debuted in the early 1980's, from Mitch Kapor.
You can use my app in the form to select sheets (updated) Download the file:
https://www.dropbox.com/s/8p05n2ui9...ro de Excel a imprimir o archivo v2.xlsm?dl=0


In column A put the name of sheets that should always be printed.
In column B put the sheets that should never be selected for printing, here you can use the "*" wildcard.
In column C put the range of number of sheets that will be selected.
Then press the button to open the userform, add or remove sheets from the previous selection and send to print to pdf or excel file.

In the file there are some examples

Code:
Dim rhojas
Dim cargando
'
Private Sub CommandButton1_Click()
'Por.Dante Amor
    Dim Pdfhojas()
    Dim HojasOcultas()
    Application.ScreenUpdating = False
    Application.DisplayAlerts = False
    '
    hojaactiva = ActiveSheet.Name
    n = -1
    m = -1
    For i = 0 To ListBox1.ListCount - 1
        If ListBox1.Selected(i) Then
            h = ListBox1.List(i)
            n = n + 1
            ReDim Preserve Pdfhojas(n)
            Pdfhojas(n) = h
            wvis = Sheets(h).Visible
            If wvis <> -1 Then
                m = m + 1
                ReDim Preserve HojasOcultas(m)
                HojasOcultas(m) = h
                Sheets(h).Visible = -1
            End If
        End If
    Next
    If n > -1 Then
        ruta = ThisWorkbook.Path & "\"
        arch = "varias hojas"
        '
        'Guarda archivo PDF

            Sheets(Pdfhojas).Select

        '

        If CheckBox2.Value = True Then

        'ActiveWorkbook.Close False

        'Oculta nuevamente las hojas

Hi Dante,

Wow! Works great!!! Thank you!

Couple of other questions:
1. For column C I do not understand what I should put here (range of number of sheets?).
2. I have several buttons (both command and form) on my worksheets that get copied over. The issue is that they are still linked to the original workbook. Is there a way to not copy over the buttons, remove the buttons from the new workbook, or limit the range of what is copied over for each page?

I cannot thank you enough for all your help on this!!

1. For column C I do not understand what I should put here (range of number of sheets?).

For example, if you have 100 sheets and you want to select from sheet 20 to sheet 50 then in cell C3 you put 20-50.
If you also want from sheet 55 to 60, then in C4 you put 55-60. When you open the form those sheets will be marked.

2. I have several buttons (both command and form) on my worksheets that get copied over.
Select the button, right click on the button, in properties check the option: "Dont move or size with cells"


Also uncheck the "Print object" option
