    Use spreadsheet to autofill product identification card template.

    [SOLVED]Attachment 241540

    I am trying to find a formula that will enter the info from the cells on the spreadsheet into the Product ID card template text boxes.

    So for A54 or A55 I would like those inserted into both Text Box 1 and Text Box 12. B54 or B55 would go to Text Box 2 and Text Box 11. C54 or C55 would go into Text Box 3 and Text Box 13. And so on so forth for each column along the row for that part.

    For the perfect functionality, I would like to be able to add each row of info for each part, enter all the ones I need to do, then have them all print out in the template one by one. At this point I have to do each one manually, and this could potentially save me hours.

    Please give me some ideas if you have them.

    Thanks,

    Craig

    Re: Use spreadsheet to autofill product identification card template.

    I like the idea, I would probably want to change that the sheet 2 and 3 are together so they print as one page that I can fold in half so it's dual sided. I'm not seeing it autofilling the template though. Is that a possibility? Thanks for the suggestion!

    Ok I was just toying around with that, and saw that it does autofill when You press the print button, but how is it autofilling? I would have to have the PWB CARD and the Prod Release Req sheets consolidated as one card that prints as one sheet that folds down the middle. Is it just pulling the values automatically with no formula?

    KanBan-whole card-bvj.xlsmLeah, I changed the template out a little on the 3rd worksheet labeled "prod release req." That is what I would like the datasheet to print out as, the second worksheet works great, but only prints half of the card. I also added one more column to the Data Sheet, "Warehouse Location." But I would only really need to use the Data sheet and Prod release req sheet set up as it is. I wouldn't need the backup or the pwb card. I tried going into the macro to see how you had it set up, but I am sure if I started changing things it would never work. I really appreciate the input!

    I rewrote the the macro so you can see how it moves the data from the database sheet to the printout sheet easier.

    I can definitely see how it is moving it, but not sure how to build that yet.

    I am getting a "Subscript out of range (Error 9)" Message when I try to print. I hit debug and it goes into Module 1 and highlights, "Set PWBCARD = Sheets("pwb card")" I figured since pwb card is no longer a sheet on this, I would change it to prod release req, but that didn't work. It seems like Module 1 is meant for the last set-up and not this new template. Sorry if what I'm missing is super elementary, I am admittedly a noob.

    Re: Use spreadsheet to autofill product identification card template.

    After changing what was in quotes from "pwb card" to "prod release req,"it now gives me the error 9 at "PWBCARD.Range(DataPointer(Ndx2)).Value = DataVals(Ndx2)" So, it seems like changing to "prod release req" did something right, but now I'm not sure what is logical to get past this wall.

    Leah, I think I figured it out. Wow VBA is pretty awesome, I'm going to have to keep working with it for sure. Please check my additions to your work and let me know if you see any problems. Thank you so much!

    Re: Use spreadsheet to autofill product identification card template.

    Now this is weird, in Column F if I just have one number to put, it comes up as a date when it prints. I have some examples in the data sheet. KanBan Autofill PBW.xlsm How do I get it to quit printing with the jan-5 and just have it print a number whether it's 1,2,3,20, 25?

    Re: Use spreadsheet to autofill product identification card template.

    Ok the F column wasn't the problem, the box on the template was marked as a custom-date, so I changed those to general and now they are printing just fine, issue averted there.

    One more question, is it possible to have the macro create an auto save file with the PBW part# as the filename? This has been a real crash course in VBA, definitely going to be learning more about it.

    You want the printed card saved as a new workbook?

    Re: Use spreadsheet to autofill product identification card template.

    Yeah, I was thinking that a backup would be good in case my warehouse loses one. I'll have to check it out tomorrow morning, I only have an Excel trial at home right now, so I can't do anything with the macros. Working on getting a laptop supplied one of these days. Thank you again for all the help!
