Hey,
So, I print a lot.
Recently I've created a new set of labels and overviews in Excel that I print on a daily basis.
Considering the fact that I print roughly ~200 labels daily, it gets tiresome to manually print x number of labels.
I started thinking about setting up some sort of macro or VBA (probably a combination) to make a lot of the printing automated.
I've tried googling for a while, but since I don't even know specifically what to search for or what it should contain, I feel kinda helpless.
Since I am unskilled with macros and VBA, I come here to ask for some assistance.
If there are (I guess there probably are) existing forum posts or webpages that cover my particular request, I'd very much appreciate directions.
Otherwise, I'd be very greatful for any and all assistance.
I've added a simplified version of my spreadsheet to this post.
In the dash tab, I've created a short summary of information required to print the labels and overviews.
I have several different types of labels and overviews, but have only added one specific one to this sheet.
At the top of the dash you can choose which label/overview to use from a drop down list (TITLE Ex1).
From here I go to add date and time.
Below this, I've entered random amounts of various items which are to be added to either label or overview (see corresponding items in label and overview tab).
At the bottom of the Dash tab I've added a couple placeholder print "buttons".
What I would like for to happen when I press the "LABEL" button, is that it will print the corresponding number of labels relating to amount of various subitems.
The labels use a specific printer with specific settings, I'd also like the button to automatically apply these when I click it.
Furthermore, Subitem3 to Subitem5 have specific names attached to them (need to be entered manually) - when clicking the LABEL button I'd like a prompt in which I can add the names, which will then appear on the labels.
The OVERVIEW button should print just a regular A4 landscape page using my system's default printer, containing the information and design in the Overview tab.
I realize I'm asking a Lot - heck, I don't even know if it's possible without extensive work.
Thanks in advance.
