Question : Auto Formatting Excel

I have code to export 2 query result to Excel and it works fine. I did some formatting but I need to do more. I need some code to do the following:

1. Rename Sheet 1 to "Roster"
2. Delete Sheet2 and Sheet 3
3. Set the Zoom to 80%
4. Page Orientation to Landscape
5. Fit to page width
6. Set all margins to .5
7. Set Print Area to columns A though N

Any help is appreciated.

Answer : Auto Formatting Excel

This should do it:

With xlObj
.Sheets("Sheet1").Select
.Sheets("Sheet1").Name = "Roster"
.Sheets("Sheet2").Select
.ActiveWindow.SelectedSheets.Delete
.Sheets("Sheet3").Select
.ActiveWindow.SelectedSheets.Delete
.ActiveWindow.Zoom = 80
End With

With xlObj.ActiveSheet.PageSetup
.LeftMargin = xlObj.Application.InchesToPoints(0.5)
.RightMargin = xlObj.Application.InchesToPoints(0.5)
.TopMargin = xlObj.Application.InchesToPoints(0.5)
.BottomMargin = xlObj.Application.InchesToPoints(0.5)
.HeaderMargin = xlObj.Application.InchesToPoints(0.5)
.FooterMargin = xlObj.Application.InchesToPoints(0.5)
.Orientation = xlLandscape
.FitToPagesWide = 1
.FitToPagesTall = 1
End With

As for setting the print area to columns A thru N ... you could try this:

xlObj.ActiveSheet.PageSetup.PrintArea = "$A:$N"

I didn't have time to test it out though.

Hope that helps.
