How To Generate Report In Excel Using Vba Pdf

by

To generate a report in Excel using VBA PDF, you can follow the below steps:

  1. Set up a reference to the “Microsoft Excel Object Library” in your VBA project.
  2. Create a new Excel workbook or open an existing one (Workbook.Open).
  3. Prepare the data that needs to be included in the report.
  4. Create a new worksheet or select an existing one (Workbook.Sheets.Add or Workbook.Sheets("SheetName").Select).
  5. Populate the worksheet with the data using VBA code.
  6. Format the worksheet as required using VBA code (Range("A1").Font.Bold = True, Range("A1:C10").Borders.LineStyle = xlContinuous, etc.).
  7. 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.
  8. 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
