    Creating List of 25 "Journal" Entries Depending on data entered

    I have created a spreadsheet for property managers to input the rents they collect each month. Each building has a different amount of apartments, and sometimes people don't pay on time. I want to make it where EXACTLY 25 journal entries print on each page. For instance, on one tab, there would be the rent roll for the entire building...let's say it has 88 units. Let's say 81 people pay rent and the property manager enters the amounts paid for each unit. The 7 people that didn't pay are scattered throughout the unit numbers, for instance apartments 5,9,12,45,60,63, and 78. After the manager enters the information on the master rent roll, I would need some type of code that iterates down the list and then creates lists of 25 "journal" sheets ready to print. The journal sheets cannot have blank spaces where those units didn't pay. In the example above, four journal sheets would be created (perhaps on different tabs or on the same tab) that are ready to print. The first three journals would have 25 entries and the fourth journal would have 25 lines, however only 6 lines would have information (81 people paid minus 75 people on the first three journal sheets = 6 left for the fourth sheet).

    I've attached the version I've created. If you hit print preview, it shows how it should look...25 lines. On the "Rent Journal" tab, the print section is B1-O33.

    The summary of the main issue I'm dealing with is when somebody doesn't pay, I don't want them to show up on the journal that's printed. Contrarily, I also don't want to manually type in the tenant information each month based on who has paid and who has not paid.

    Any suggestions are greatly appreciated!!!!

    Does your rent roll maintain the exact same column headings (and data) as the journal to be created? Do you want a seperate journal of those that have not paid?
    Perhaps it was the Noid who should have avoided me...
    If you are satisfied with my solution click the small star icon on the left. Thanks
    1. Make a copy of your workbook and run the following code on your copy (just in case)
    2. With excel open, press ALT+F11 to open the Visual Basic Editor (VBE). From the "Insert" menu, select "Module".
    3. Paste the code from above into the empty white space. Close the VBE.
    4. From the developer tab, choose "Macros", select the Sub Name, and click "Run".

    Thanks for the quick reply and nice photo!

    The column headings will stay the same as well as the data. You'll notice some of the data (in the print area) is the result of formulas from areas outside the print area.

    I do not need any journal for those who have not paid. In fact, this is simply used as a way to print and no electronic backup will be created with this.

    To give you a background, our on-site managers collect rent each month. This will be the software where they "code" the charges for the money they collect. For instance, if somebody pays a $2,000 check, the manager may code $1,000 as rent and $1,000 as security deposit. The software will do the math and make sure it balances. Once they are done inputting whatever money they have collected, they just need to print out a journal with exactly 25 lines to bring into the office along with their rents. If they have more than 25 payments, they will obviously have multiple journal sheets they bring with them. Once they come to the office, our accountants use the journal printouts to enter it into our actual Yardi accounting software.

    So, in summary, this is just a way to create a uniform way for the managers to show our accountants what money they are bringing in. Right now, with 100 different property managers all using different spreadsheets, our accountants in the office are going crazy because it's taking way too long to enter the rents into the accounting software.

    Thanks!!!!!!!

    Do you have a sample of the data containing all the details?

    I've attached a version with some data. You'll notice the rent roll section has 29 tenants, however since 25 of them paid, the journal page only displays the ones who paid.

    TB,

    I hope you are pleased with the attached.

    Assuming you distributed the file to multiple property managers, each would begin by clicking the 'Format RR' button, which asks the users for the total unit count of their property. A rent roll capable of up to 350 units is then reduced to only the amount of units for that property/manager. (I thought this might be handy so that a manager sees only the number of entry fields applicable to THEIR property.

    Data entry stage commences.

    When manager is ready, they click the 'Create Journal' button, which

    1. Creates a total of n worksheets under the template you provided where n = total paid tenants / 25 rounded up for remainder (n then increments as the worksheet name "Rent Journal 1", "Rent Journal 2", etc.
    2. Populates up to 25 per worksheet while ignoring those who have not paid
    2a) User is prompted to confirm that they want to print.
    If click "Yes", then Step 3 below
    If click "no", then journals created without printing, msgbox goes away.
    3. Sets the print area for each worksheet to the range you specified; landscape view
    4. Prints the created Journal sheets with a sheet number provided at the top.

    In the attached enter 160 for your number of tenants within the 'Format RR' button and then click the 'Create Journal' button.

    Rent Journal_Master.xls

    Hope this helps,

    -as-
