    Muliple print outs from one proforma

    i work in a hospital laboratory and we are performing an antibiotic study.
    i have a work book consisting of 2 sheets
    1 sheet is a list 7 antibiotics in a column for a1 to a8
    2 sheet is a blank results sheet

    what i want to do is print out the blank result sheet once for every antibiotic on sheet 1
    with the name of the antibiotic in sheet 2 pos "a,1"

    i have copied the blank 7 times and linked to the antibiotic list but this seems very untidy

    is there a way to print out 7 identical sheet2's differing only by reference to sheet 1 a1 to a8

    Hi Rhino,

    Welcome to the forum.

    You can have multiple sheets where A1 of those sheet would be linked back to a1 to a8 of the original sheet respectively... Hope I have understood your query, if not please elaborate more. thanks

    perhaps it's because i'm a newbie

    but

    i was looking for a macro to print out the 7 report sheets from just one "constant" report with the antibiotic variable in the top corner of each, not simply printing out 7 separate reports

    Thats too untidy

    Okay... so you need that the same report will be printed but with different variable (antibiotic name) which you have in A1 to A8 ?

    in a nutshell yes.. as long as the antibs are on sheet 1 and "report" is on sheet2

    Hi rhino4eva,


    Firstyou should create different copies of sheet 2 and then you can use lookup function / offset function to have antibs name per sheet. Upload a sample workbook in case of any issues. thanks.
