To generate a report in Excel using VBA PDF, you can follow the below steps:
- Set up a reference to the “Microsoft Excel Object Library” in your VBA project.
- Create a new Excel workbook or open an existing one (
Workbook.Open
). - Prepare the data that needs to be included in the report.
- Create a new worksheet or select an existing one (
Workbook.Sheets.Add
orWorkbook.Sheets("SheetName").Select
). - Populate the worksheet with the data using VBA code.
- Format the worksheet as required using VBA code (
Range("A1").Font.Bold = True
,Range("A1:C10").Borders.LineStyle = xlContinuous
, etc.). - Save the workbook as PDF using
Workbook.ExportAsFixedFormat Type:=xlTypePDF, Filename:="C:\path\to\save\file.pdf", Quality:=xlQualityStandard, IncludeDocProperties:=True, IgnorePrintAreas:=False, OpenAfterPublish:=True
. - Close the workbook (
Workbook.Close
) or keep it open if further modifications are needed.
Here’s an example VBA code that generates a report in Excel and saves it as a PDF:
Sub GenerateReportPDF()
Dim wb As Workbook
Dim ws As Worksheet
' Create a new workbook
Set wb = Workbooks.Add
' Get the first worksheet
Set ws = wb.Sheets(1)
' Add data to the worksheet
ws.Range("A1").Value = "Header"
ws.Range("A2").Value = "Data 1"
ws.Range("A3").Value = "Data 2"
' Format the worksheet
ws.Range("A1").Font.Bold = True
ws.Range("A1").Borders.LineStyle = xlContinuous
' Save the workbook as PDF
wb.ExportAsFixedFormat Type:=xlTypePDF, Filename:="C:\path\to\save\file.pdf", Quality:=xlQualityStandard, IncludeDocProperties:=True, IgnorePrintAreas:=False, OpenAfterPublish:=True
' Close the workbook
wb.Close SaveChanges:=False
End Sub
