Number of pages printed?

C

Charlotte E

Hello,


When I press 'Preview Print' it says, at the buttom, how many pages the
spreadsheet will use upon being printed, i.e.: "Page 1 of 4".

Is it possible to optain this number (4) in VBA and assign it to a variable?


TIA,

Hello Charlotte E,

Here are 2 methods of getting the page count...

=====================================
Function GetWorksheetPageCount() As Integer
With ActiveSheet
TotalPrintPagesOnWorksheet = .HPageBreaks.Count *
(.VPageBreaks.Count + 1)
End With
End Function

Function GetPageCount()
GetPrintedPages =
Application.ExecuteExcel4Macro("Get.Document(50)")
End Function
=====================================
Sincerely,
Leith Ross

Don't think Leith's reply is quite accurate. Both Vertical and Horizontal
page breaks need 1 added to them.

Also need to assign the result to the function name.

Function GetWorksheetPageCount() As Integer
With ActiveSheet
GetWorksheetPageCount = (.HPageBreaks.Count + 1) _
* (.VPageBreaks.Count + 1)
End With
End Function

Function GetPageCount()
GetPageCount = Application.ExecuteExcel4Macro _
("Get.Document(50)")
End Function

Examples of using the functions:

Sub NoOfPages1()
'Call function GetWorksheetPageCount
MsgBox GetWorksheetPageCount()
End Sub

Sub NoOfPages2()
'Call function GetPageCount
MsgBox GetPageCount()
End Sub

I believe that one must first preview a worksheet before one can return the
print page count. It may be possible to get the count to work by changing
to page break preview first. Try the sample codes immediately after opening
Excel and before printing or do a preview to see if they work.
