Hi
I really need some help. This is the case:
I have a workbook with about 60 sheets and the number of sheets will change over time.
I would like to save selected sheets to 1 single PDF file, in the same place as the orginalfile with the same filename + with date and time stamp created.
I want the macro to loop trough all sheets in the workbook and if, for example A100 = “print” I want the sheet included In the PDF file report. When the file is saved a would like a msg box to appear with number of sheets saved.

Is this possible?
Can someone help me please, I am a very frustrated and I can’t fix the code myself and need some help

Thanks in advance
//Daniel

How to create a cell-sized chart?
Tiny charts, called Sparklines, were added to Excel 2010. Look for Sparklines on the Insert tab.
Try this:
Code:
Public Sub Save_Sheets_As_PDF()

    Dim sheetsInPDF As Long
    Dim replaceSelected As Boolean
    Dim ws As Worksheet
    Dim p As Long, PDFfileName As String
    
    With ThisWorkbook

        sheetsInPDF = 0
        replaceSelected = True
        For Each ws In .Worksheets
            If LCase(ws.Range("A100").Value) = "print" Then
                ws.Select replaceSelected
                replaceSelected = False
                sheetsInPDF = sheetsInPDF + 1
            End If
        Next
            
        If sheetsInPDF > 0 Then
            p = InStrRev(.FullName, ".")
            PDFfileName = Left(.FullName, p - 1) & Format(Now, " yyyymmdd hhmmss") & ".pdf"
            .ActiveSheet.ExportAsFixedFormat Type:=xlTypePDF, Filename:=PDFfileName, _
                Quality:=xlQualityMinimum, IncludeDocProperties:=True, IgnorePrintAreas:=False, OpenAfterPublish:=False
            MsgBox "Created '" & PDFfileName & "' containing " & sheetsInPDF & " sheets"
        Else
            MsgBox "PDF file not created"
        End If
        
        .Worksheets(1).Select True
    
    End With
    
End Sub

I'm pleased it works for you.

If you want a better quality PDF (but larger file size), change xlQualityMinimum to xlQualityStandard.
