macro for excel

[thor10]

I would like to write a macro that would sort a column, then insert a page break when the text changes within the sorted column. Your help is greatly appreciated!!

Best way to learn is to record your steps.

Sub Sort_InsertPageBreaks()
Dim rng As Range, cell As Range
Set rng = Range([A1], [A65536].End(xlUp))
rng.Sort Key1:=rng(1, 1)
For Each cell In rng
If cell.Value <> cell(2, 1).Value Then
cell(2, 1).EntireRow.PageBreak = xlManual
End If
Next
End Sub

I dont understand the above post and how that answers your request, but the comment is true..

How ever try this.. add a command button from the forms tool bar and right click it and assign macro and then click record..

now do as you wish sortthe data, be careful mistakes are also recorded.. dont worry about the page braek bit..

DONE

Now select cell A1, and press the tool bar taht floating about the square stop...

Select by right clicking the command button and assign macro BUT edit this time the VBE will open... read it...

That the program you just wrote / recorded..

Theres a start for you, if im telling you what you know sorry but your profile is first post, so except sorry just tring to get you started.

Hi

You could try the Subtotals feature under Data. This allows for page breaks at each change.
