Hi,

I need to generate a report in excel format and my question is there any possibilities to set the margins so that the excel output with its margin settings will reflect to my requirements.

any suggestions? Thanks in advance

There are StyleSheet settings for LEFTMARGIN, RIGHTMARGIN, TOPMARGIN, and BOTTOMMARGIN. But these apply only to HTML and PDF output formats - not Excel. You might consider using an Excel template.

The only way I have found to do this is with an excel template and Auto-Run Macro. When I have created a template and embedded to print setup attributes, they are not there when I run the report. I have to create the template with a macro that will do the print setup functions (margins, page headings, etc.)

Hi All,

Thanks for the information provided. So we need go for Excel Templates and Macros for print margin settings if we want to set the margins for Excel format.

I came across this the other day on this site. Sorry I cannot find the post or the author, it wasn't me, but I'm using this and it works great. This is a macro template for a .mht file. Use, modify and expand as needed. I usually just record the macro I want and insert the code where indicated.

Sub Auto_Open()
  For Each ws In Worksheets
    With ws
      If ws.Name = "Sheet2" Then
' You can use this section to delete surplus worksheets
        Application.DisplayAlerts = False
        ws.Delete
        Application.DisplayAlerts = True
' This will turn of screen updating so that the changes do not flash
' on the screen at the end user. No epileptic fits thank you!
      ElseIf ws.Name = "Sheet1" Then
        Application.ScreenUpdating = False
' Find the extents of the report
'       ws_last_col = Cells.SpecialCells(xlLastCell).Column
'       ws_last_row = Cells.SpecialCells(xlLastCell).Row
'
' Insert Additional Commands and Formatting for Sheet 1 Here
'
'
' Turn screen updating on again
        Application.ScreenUpdating = True
      End If
    End With
  Next
End Sub

That came from Tony A. Here's the link with associated information: http://forums.informationbuild...101009872#8101009872... It should be someplace in a manual...
