Hello,

I was just wondering what would be the code to adjust a print area down 1 row without using specific ranges?

I currently have a macro that finds the end of a table and adds a row for new data however I would like to expand the print area after I add the row by 1 row.

the only code I know is: ActiveSheet.PageSetup.PrintArea = "your range"

Any help would be appreciated.


Thank you :)

Carla

Need 1 part of a formula to always point to the same range? use $ signs: $V$2:$Z$99 will always point to V2:Z99, even after copying
Not sure I understand exactly what you want. This offsets the print area by 1 row and adds 1 more row to it. Adjust to suit ...
Code:
Sub try()
With ActiveSheet
   .PageSetup.PrintArea = _
       .Range("Print_Area").Offset(1).Resize(.Range("Print_Area").Rows.Count + 1, _
       .Range("Print_Area").Columns.Count).Address
End With
End Sub

My mistake, the selected cell actually ends up just below the page break line so this code actually moves it one row lower than required. How could I adjust this code that it is even with the selected cell?

Nevermind, figured it out:

Code:
    With ActiveSheet   .PageSetup.PrintArea = _
       .Range("Print_Area").Offset(0).Resize(.Range("Print_Area").Rows.Count + 1, _
       .Range("Print_Area").Columns.Count).Address
End With

Thank you very much!!! :)

If you are Offsetting by 0 then you might as well just remove it :ROFLMAO:

Actually this does not work. It is still moving down one row more than I need. Not sure how to adjust it that it moves to the selected cell...

Played around a bit and so far this is working:

Code:
   .PageSetup.PrintArea = _       .Range("Print_Area").Offset(2).Resize(.Range("Print_Area").Rows.Count - 1, _
       .Range("Print_Area").Columns.Count).Address
