Send Multiple Straight Tables to One XLS Sheet Looped through Field

Hi All,

Sorry for the long Heading...

Ok here is my scenario, i will try keep it as simple as possible. I have one Sales report by Store and one Sales report by Product. What needs to happen is a Department needs to be selected, the 2 reports sent to excel (on 1 Sheet - side by side), the Sheet renamed to the Department Name. This process must happen for each Department until you have multiple sheets in a single document. I have no trouble with the Looping process or naming each sheet per Department.

My problem is getting the 2nd report on the sheet.

Here is my Macro:

Sub SalesReport

print_excel "CH1028" 'Change this to be the relevant chart objectID that you would like to send to Excel

End Sub

Sub print_excel(v_object)

Dim sheetname,i

Set XLApp = CreateObject("Excel.Application")

XLApp.Visible = FALSE

Set XLDoc = XLApp.Workbooks.Add

Set Ftg = Activedocument.Fields("Department") '''This is the field I am looping on.

Set UrvFtg = Ftg.GetPossibleValues

Set MyTable = ActiveDocument.GetSheetObject(v_object)

For i= 0 to UrvFtg.Count-1

sheetname = ""

sheetname = UrvFtg.Item(i).Text

Ftg.Select sheetname

If Len(sheetname)>29 Then '''Checking length of Sheet caption

sheetname=left(sheetname,27)

End If

sheetname= replace(sheetname,"'","") '''Only alphanumeric .

sheetname= replace(sheetname,"/","")

sheetname= replace(sheetname,":","")

NoOfRows = MyTable.GetRowCount

If NoOfRows > 1 Then

XLDoc.Sheets.Add.Name= "tmp"

XLSheet XLDoc,"tmp",v_object,sheetname

End If

Next

Ftg.Clear

XLApp.Visible = TRUE

End Sub

Function XLSheet(ExcelDoc,SheetName,ChartName,Category)

Set obj = ActiveDocument.GetSheetObject(ChartName)

obj.CopyTableToClipboard True

ExcelDoc.Sheets(SheetName).PasteSpecial '-4163

ExcelDoc.Sheets(SheetName).Columns("A:A").ColumnWidth = 100

ExcelDoc.Sheets(SheetName).cells.select

ExcelDoc.Sheets(SheetName).columns.select

ExcelDoc.Sheets(SheetName).cells.mergecells = false

ExcelDoc.Sheets(SheetName).Cells.EntireRow.AutoFit

ExcelDoc.Sheets(SheetName).Cells.EntireColumn.AutoFit

ExcelDoc.Sheets(SheetName).Cells(1, 5).Select

ExcelDoc.Sheets(SheetName).name = Category

End Function

Help would as always be hugely appreciated.

Thanks,

Richard

It looked that you copied the second chart over the first chart, right? You need then to transfer your for-loop counter i to the export-function which will then specify (per further if-loop) the target cell for your paste-statement. I think if you looked here you will find various examples how to adress this:

Thanks Marcus,

The 3rd link you sent me was definitely a winner!, just added a loop by field on there and a field variable for the Sheet Naming and i was sorted.

Thanks
