Macro to select cells and save as html

**itmanusa** · 12-24-2010, 05:46 PM

HI guys,
I am hoping that some one can help me with this. Have been looking everywhere and cant seem to get the right answer.

Here is what I have:

Sheet1 has several rows of data then one empty row. Then I have several rows of data and an empty row. This continues for about 100-150 times (this varies each week)

Here is what I am trying to do.

I need the macro to be able to select from A1 to the last row:column that has data so that I can apply borders (keep in mind that last row:column will always not be the same cell since number of rows varies).

Then I would like to save the selection as html file and file name should be whatever value I have on a1 (so if I have Jan012011 in A1, it needs to be Jan012011.htm)

I would greatly appreciate if anyone could help me with that. I have found couple of vbscript to select the cells, however because I have empty rows, those only selects first set of rows. I need the script to go all the way to the last cell that has any data.

Thanks for your help

Hi Leith,
Thank you so much for providing this. However I couldnt get this to work for some reason. I am not sure if I wasnt able to describe what I really wanted or not. Any way, I got the below code from a friend which lets me select the range of data on the spreadseet (This sheet is called "datapage"). I have data in rows A1:H?. If I use this code below, I can select the dynamic range of data. Now the problem I have is that I need to be able to publish this selected range of data as web page and have the web page name to be derived from sheet called "Main" and cell A25. This cell actually already have the file name (ex 122410.htm). This name changes when I open the file so I just need the file name to reference to this cell.

Hope this makes more sense and appreciate any help you can provide.

Hi, Leith Ross.
Excuse me, I have a few questions to ask.
Because I wonder I use some 'old style' of coding to do.
What is the difference and which can be easier on debug?

If user want to cap more the one column with different type of HTML tag show.
such as Column B to be Date Format YYYY/MM/DD, Column C to be Red in color in -ve.

As you see, my code as if MS-DOS aged..

Hello itmanusa,

I made some changes to the macro. It now looks at columns "A:H" and finds the last entry. The file will now be created if it doesn't exist.

Leith,
I would like to thank you once again for the code. It worked just as I needed it to work. I did have to make a little change for the file to be saved. I had to hard code the destination location, for some reason the current directory location only worked once. Every time after that I couldn't get it to work until I typed the whole path.

Once again thanks a lot and happy new year to you.
