Hello,

I need HELP to automate a monthly recurrent task. (excel 2007)
Create "invoice like" PDF's based on table in one sheet.

Rows 1-6 are "Logo, headers & Cells with Sum of filtered data"

DATA to Filter is in Table A7:F xxxxx (normally has not more than 100.000 rows/lines)

Header Columns on row 6 are:
Name > Date/Time > Number > Destination > Duration > Cost (are phone call data)

Until now I have the part that creates the pdf file automatically on the desired folder.
Sub Macro2()
'
' Macro2 Macro
'
' Keyboard Shortcut: Ctrl+q
'
ChDrive "C"
ChDir "C:\Users\ABC\My Documents\2014\Invoice PDF"
ActiveSheet.ExportAsFixedFormat Type:=xlTypePDF, Filename:=("MAY ") & Range("A7").Value & (" CallList")

End Sub


Now I need help to filter and automate each client ( "name" Column).

So you can better understand:
Table is sorted by data/time. So I need macro to:
1st - sort/autofilter alphabetically (A-Z) each name + run macro2 (above) and then
2nd - sort/autofilter next name alphabetically + run macro2… and so on until it reaches the last name (some months 150 others 250)

Until now my manual process is:
1- Apply auto filter on row6 (name) and select 1 name
This returns an x number of rows (depending on how many calls client made and also returns total cost of the month for this client on cell F3 (=SUBTOTAL(9;F7:1000000) formula.
2- Then save as… pdf.
3- Select next client on autofilter … save as PDF … …
This goes on about 200 times because call list has about 200 clients each month

So what I need is the first part of the macro.

Anyone, any ideas?

Thank you so much.
 

Excel Facts

Why are there 1,048,576 rows in Excel?
The Excel team increased the size of the grid in 2007. There are 2^20 rows and 2^14 columns for a total of 17 billion cells.
Just came arround that my macro (save as pdf, filename has a bug)
When I say "A7" Filename:=("MAY ") & Range("A7").Value & (" CallList") it always returns the name on cell "A7" and not the name selected by AutoFilter ...

I apreciate your help.
