Hello,

I am trying to set the print range on each sheet on my workbook. However the following does not work:-

VBA Code:
For sh = 1 To output_workbook.Sheets.Count

    output_workbook.Sheets(sh).PageSetup.PrintArea = Range("a1:n28").Address
    output_workbook.Sheets(sh).PageSetup.Orientation = xlLandscape
    
    
     
Next sh

thanks
Kapa
 
There is other data on the sheets but I don't want that printed. How can i check if there is other code overwriting my print ranges ?
After the code runs, go to the sheets that are not working properly, and manually check to see what the print range is set to on that sheet.

Excel Facts

Why does 9 mean SUM in SUBTOTAL?
It is because Sum is the 9th alphabetically in Average, Count, CountA, Max, Min, Product, StDev.S, StDev.P, Sum, VAR.S, VAR.P.
i get the error "you've selected a single cell for the print area". Even if i clear the print area i get the same message. This is on all sheets.

When do you get this error?
When trying to view the print area, or trying to run the VBA code?

I get this error when trying to view the print area (as per your suggestion - which is the sensible thing to do). The code runs with no errors reported.

I don't understand why that would be.
I assume that you do not have any hidden, protected, or merged cells on these sheets?

i have just double checked - no hidden, no merged or protected cells. The workbook is created by the macro.

I am at a loss then, without having access to the workbook.
I am afraid I do not have anything else to offer, as I cannot recreate the issue on my end.

If you can upload it to a file sharing site and provide a link to it, I can try downloading it when I am in front of my home computer (not allowed to download things to our work computers).
