Hi,

I've written vba code to print some ranges and include Charts. But the area is blank. The CHART properties and to allow printing.

I think the issue is in the code?

Public Sub Financia_Dashboard_PDF()

Dim strPath As String
Dim PDFfileName As String
Dim lastA As Long, _
lastF As Long, _
lastN As Long, _
lastR As Long

Dim PDFranges As Range

strTime = Format(Now(), "yyyy-mm-dd\_hhmm")

PDFfileName = "D:\Dropbox\Shared_Files\xxx.xxx\Reports\" & StrConv(ActiveSheet.Range("A2").Value & " - " & strTime & ".pdf", vbProperCase)

With ActiveSheet
lastA = .Cells(.Rows.Count, "A").End(xlUp).Row
lastF = .Cells(.Rows.Count, "F").End(xlUp).Row
lastN = .Cells(.Rows.Count, "N").End(xlUp).Row
lastR = .Cells(.Rows.Count, "R").End(xlUp).Row

Set PDFranges = .Range("A2:D" & lastA & _
",F2:L" & lastF & _
",N2:P" & lastN & _
",R2:Y" & lastR)

End With

PDFranges.ExportAsFixedFormat Type:=xlTypePDF, Filename:=PDFfileName, _
Quality:=xlQualityStandard, IncludeDocProperties:=True, IgnorePrintAreas:=False, OpenAfterPublish:=True

End Sub

How to create a cell-sized chart?
Tiny charts, called Sparklines, were added to Excel 2010. Look for Sparklines on the Insert tab.
Going to need to guess here as you've not included any indication of where the charts are and what else is in thos ranges.

My guess is the charts are in ranges A:D, F:L, N:P or R:Y, below.

VBA Code:
With ActiveSheet
lastA = .Cells(.Rows.Count, "A").End(xlUp).Row
lastF = .Cells(.Rows.Count, "F").End(xlUp).Row
lastN = .Cells(.Rows.Count, "N").End(xlUp).Row
lastR = .Cells(.Rows.Count, "R").End(xlUp).Row

Set PDFranges = .Range("A2:D" & lastA & _
",F2:L" & lastF & _
",N2:P" & lastN & _
",R2:Y" & lastR)

End With

If it is the case that one or more of these ranges contains the chart and only the charts the end(xlUp) is going to evaluate the top row as the end, and ignore the chart as it's an chart object floating above the range. You can test this, place your cursor below one of the charts, press ctrl+up arrow.
