Automatically insert column headings into Excel worksheet

[ilfan83]

I am fairly new to Excel programming. Is there a way to insert a set number of column headings, in an Excel worksheet, at the standard page breaks?? This would be for a document that will be used as a template and the same headings would be used for different projects. What I envision is the user would indicate the number of column headings desired in a window that would be displayed when the document is opened.

Is this all possible???

Any assistance would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks

Either set up the sheet as you would like and at the same time record what you are doing by the "record macro" button or just set up the sheet the way you want and get people to use it as a template.

Hi tmischler,

I tried recording a macro, but when I used the macro to insert the column headings, the headings were always inserted into the same row (the row where I pasted the headings). Is there a way to manipulate the macro code to have the headings insert into the row where the cursor is on the worksheet??

By the way, I am trying to assist another employee in designing the document. I am fluent in Access, but not Excel.

Are all the other headings going to be in the same position relative to the first?

If so, record the macro again but this time set the recorder to relative reference.

The answer to your question is Yes.

How do I use relative reference??

Thanks

when you click on record macro, there is a button next to the blue circle. That is the relative reference button. Click that on / off depending on your needs.
