Excel Export Border

Hi,

does anyone know how I can set the borderstyle and color of an range?

Excel Macro Recorder returned this:

Range("A1:O22").Select
Selection.Borders(xlDiagonalDown).LineStyle = xlNone
Selection.Borders(xlDiagonalUp).LineStyle = xlNone
With Selection.Borders(xlEdgeLeft)
.LineStyle = xlContinuous
.ColorIndex = 0
.TintAndShade = 0
.Weight = xlThin
End With

With Selection.Borders(xlEdgeTop)
.LineStyle = xlContinuous
.ColorIndex = 0
.TintAndShade = 0
.Weight = xlThin
End With

With Selection.Borders(xlEdgeBottom)
.LineStyle = xlContinuous
.ColorIndex = 0
.TintAndShade = 0
.Weight = xlThin
End With

With Selection.Borders(xlEdgeRight)
.LineStyle = xlContinuous
.ColorIndex = 0
.TintAndShade = 0
.Weight = xlThin
End With

With Selection.Borders(xlInsideVertical)
.LineStyle = xlContinuous
.ColorIndex = 0
.TintAndShade = 0
.Weight = xlThin
End With

With Selection.Borders(xlInsideHorizontal)
.LineStyle = xlContinuous
.ColorIndex = 0
.TintAndShade = 0
.Weight = xlThin
End With

Using this I get a selection is required error.

I also tried this:

With xlSheet
.Cells.Borders.LineStyle = 1
.PageSetup.Orientation = 2
.AutoFilterMode = False
End With

-> looks good so far but makes border around all cells 😞

Another problem I have is that sometimes a second excel document .

This file has no filename (e.g. sheet1) and . Seems as somehting is cached?

does somebody know what's the reason for this?

My Macro looks like this:

function ExcelCopy(path)

set XLApp = CreateObject("Excel.Application")
XLApp.Visible = False
set XLDoc = XLApp.Workbooks.Add
set XLSheet = XLDoc.Worksheets(1)

XLSheet.Range("A1").select

'Copy First Table and paste it to xcel sheet
set obj = ActiveDocument.getsheetobject("CH25")
objname = obj.getCaption.name.v
obj.CopyTableToClipboard true

XLSheet.paste

XLSheet.cells.select

'Resize Excel Rows and Columns
XLSheet.Cells.EntireColumn.AutoFit
XLSheet.Cells.EntireRow.AutoFit

'Set Header Row height
XLSheet.Rows("1:1").RowHeight = 25.5

'add Autofilter

XLSheet.Range("A1").AutoFilter

'set to print landscape

'With XLSheet.PageSetup
'.Orientation = 2 'xlLandscape
'.FitToPagesWide = 1
'.FitToPagesTall = False
'.PaperSize = 9 ' xlApp.xlPaperA4

With xlSheet
.Cells.Borders.LineStyle = 1
.PageSetup.Orientation = 2
.AutoFilterMode = False
End With

'XLSheet.Rows("2:2").Select
'XLApp.ActiveWindow.FreezePanes = True

'XLSheet.Range("E2").Select
'XLApp.ActiveWindow.FreezePanes = True

XLDoc.SaveAs path
XLApp.Quit
End function

Thanks in advance.

I'm a little confused as to what you're trying to do and what is happening.

You seem to have a solid setup there in your macro. I don't see anything obvious.

You mention all cells getting borders and using Cells will apply to all cells.. Are you trying to get borders around only certain cells?

You also mention a selection required error. I usually select the cells I want to edit:

.Cells.Select
.Selection.Borders(10).LineStyle = 1

That would give every cell a right border.

To make a specific selection:

.Range("A1").Select
.Selection.Borders(10).LineStyle = 1

This would give only A1 a right border.

Also, the problem you describe where you're getting an extra sheet sounds like what happens when the macro crashed in the middle of the process and can't close out the file correctly. Sometimes, I'll see another document or have problems opening or deleting the Excel document.

Hi,

thanks for your help.
I tried with:

With xlSheet
.Range("A1").Select
.Selection.Borders(10).LineStyle = 1
End With

I'm getting an error: Object dosen't support this property or method: 'Selection''

Sorry I' quite new to macros.

Oh, sorry, it looks like QlikView does not like the Selections. Instead, you can just continue to use the range:

With xlSheet.Range("A5").Borders(7)
 .LineStyle = 1
 .Weight = 2
 .ColorIndex = -4105
 End With

Basically, instead of using .Range().Select and then .Selection, just use .Range()...

Hi Daniela

I've been looking for something similar but the code you've written does not seem to work, if it worked for you, please share a sample .qvw.
