Formatting in reports
I will need to be able to create formatted reports with typical tables on a number of worksheets
Is there a way to create a template object, or series, that I can call rather than cutting and pasting into the worksheet ranges separately
RE: formatting in reports
Hi Dave
Thank you for your question
It is possible to write a procedure that would;
1. Create a new workbook
2. Place entries and value directly into certain cells
3. Format various cells as required.
as an example, the following code snippet shows you how to create a workbook ad some values and do some basic formatting
Application.Workbooks.Add
ActiveWorkbook.Sheets(1).Range("A1").Value = "My New Template"
ActiveWorkbook.Sheets(1).Range("A1").Interior.Color = vbRed
ActiveWindow.DisplayGridlines = False
ActiveWorkbook.Sheets(1).Columns("A").EntireColumn.AutoFit
Hope this is useful
Regards
Stephen

Excel tip:Formula for last day of monthIn some cases it is necessary to find the last day of a month for a given date. If you use the following formula, you can achieve this, ie; if you have a column of dates, use this formula to find the end of month for each day by using the fill handle. The formula is as follows, and assumes in this example that the first date in question is in cell C5, in any other cell type; =DATE(YEAR(C5),MONTH(C5)+1,1)-1 |
