Gwynne heeft 15.000 rijen met gegevens in drie kolommen. Ze wil graag dat de gegevens worden afgedrukt met 6 kolommen per pagina. Bijvoorbeeld de eerste 50 namen in A2: C51, dan de volgende 50 namen in E2: G51. Verplaats vervolgens de derde 50 rijen naar A52: C101 enzovoort.
In plaats van dit op te lossen met formules, ga ik een beetje Excel VBA gebruiken om de gegevens opnieuw in te delen.
De VBA-macro laat de gegevens achter in A: C. Een lege kolom verschijnt in D. De nieuwe gegevens verschijnen in D: F, lege kolom in G, nieuwe gegevens in H: J.
Opmerking
Bijna 10 jaar geleden heb ik een vraag beantwoord over hoe je 1 kolom in 6 kolommen kunt slingeren. In het geval waren de gegevens horizontaal gerangschikt, met Apple in C1, Banana in D1, Cherry in E1,… Fig in H1, dan Guava beginnend in C2 enzovoort. Destijds beantwoordde ik de vraag met formules. Je kunt die oude video bekijken: hier.
De eerste stap is om erachter te komen hoeveel rijen er op uw afgedrukte pagina passen. Sla deze stap niet over. Voordat u met de macro begint, moet u al deze dingen doen:
- Stel de marges in op het tabblad Pagina-indeling van het lint
- Als u wilt dat uw koppen van rij 1 op elke pagina worden herhaald, gebruikt u Pagina-indeling, Rijen om bovenaan te herhalen en specificeert u 1: 1
- Specificeer eventuele kop- en voetteksten die op elke pagina worden weergegeven.
- Kopieer de koppen van A1: C1 naar E1: G1.
- Kopieer de koppen van A1: C1 naar I1: K1.
- Specificeer E: K als het afdrukbereik
- Vul de cijfers 1 t / m 100 in E2: E101 in met
=ROW()-1
Als al uw pagina-instellingen correct zijn, gebruikt u Ctrl + P om het document Afdrukvoorbeeld weer te geven. Klik indien nodig op de tegel Afdrukvoorbeeld weergeven in het midden van het scherm. Zoek in het afdrukvoorbeeld het laatste rijnummer op pagina 1. In mijn geval is dat 46. Dit zal in de toekomst een belangrijk getal zijn.
Volg deze stappen om de macro te maken:
- Sla uw werkmap op met een nieuwe naam voor het geval er iets misgaat. Bijvoorbeeld: MyWorkbookTestCopy.xlsx
- Druk op alt = "" + F11 om de VBA-editor te openen
- Kies Invoegen, Module in het VBA-menu
-
Kopieer de volgende code en plak deze in het codevenster
Sub WrapThem() ' the following line says XLUP not x1up ! FinalRow = Cells(Rows.Count, 1).End(xlUp).Row ' Change 46 to match your Rows Per Page RowsPerPage = 46 NextRow = 2 NextCol = 5 For i = 2 To FinalRow Step RowsPerPage Cells(NextRow, NextCol).Resize(RowsPerPage, 3).Value = _ Cells(i, 1).Resize(RowsPerPage, 3).Value If NextCol = 5 Then NextCol = 9 Else NextCol = 5 NextRow = NextRow + RowsPerPage End If Next i End Sub - Zoek de regel
RowsPerPage = 46met de tekst en vervang de 46 door het aantal rijen dat u in uw afdrukvoorbeeld hebt gevonden.
Hier zijn een paar andere dingen die u mogelijk moet wijzigen, afhankelijk van uw gegevens:
De FinalRow =regel zoekt naar het laatste item in kolom 1. Als uw gegevens zijn begonnen in kolom C in plaats van in kolom A, zou u dit wijzigen:
FinalRow = Cells(Rows.Count, 1).End(xlUp).Rowhieraan
FinalRow = Cells(Rows.Count, 3).End(xlUp).RowIn dit voorbeeld is de eerste plaats voor de nieuwe gegevens cel E2. Dit is rij 2, kolom 5. Als u vijf regels met titels heeft en uw nieuwe gegevens beginnen in G6, verandert u NextRow = 2in NextRow = 6. Verander NextCol = 5naar NextCol = 7(omdat kolom G de 7e kolom is).
In dit voorbeeld beginnen de gegevens in A2 (direct na de koppen in rij 1). Als u drie regels koppen heeft, beginnen uw gegevens in A4. Verander deze regel:
For i = 2 To FinalRow Step RowsPerPagenaar deze regel:
For i = 4 To FinalRow Step RowsPerPageMijn uitvoerkolommen verschijnen in kolom E (5e kolom) en kolom I (9e kolom). Stel dat u vier kolommen met gegevens heeft. De originele gegevens staan in B: E. Zet de eerste set kolommen in G: J en L: O. G is de 7e kolom. L is de 12e kolom. Wijzig in de volgende tekst 3 in 4 op twee plaatsen omdat je 4 kolommen hebt in plaats van 3. Verander 5 in 7 op twee plaatsen omdat de eerste uitvoerkolom G is in plaats van E. Verander 9 in 12 omdat de tweede uitvoerkolom L is in plaats van ik.
Verander dit:
Cells(NextRow, NextCol).Resize(RowsPerPage, 3).Value = _ Cells(i, 1).Resize(RowsPerPage, 3).Value If NextCol = 5 Then NextCol = 9 Else NextCol = 5 NextRow = NextRow + RowsPerPage End Ifnaar dit:
Cells(NextRow, NextCol).Resize(RowsPerPage, 4).Value = _ Cells(i, 1).Resize(RowsPerPage, 4).Value If NextCol = 7 Then NextCol = 12 Else NextCol = 7 NextRow = NextRow + RowsPerPage End IfU bent nu klaar om de macro uit te voeren. Sla de werkmap nog een laatste keer op.
Klik in het VBA-venster ergens in de macro. In de onderstaande afbeelding staat de cursor er direct achter Sub WrapThem(). Klik op de F5-toets of klik op het pictogram Uitvoeren, zoals hieronder wordt weergegeven.
Schakel terug naar Excel. U zou als volgt resultaten moeten zien:
Zorg ervoor dat de achternaam op pagina 1 kolom E correct wordt gevolgd door de voornaam in pagina 1 kolom I.

Leer Excel voor Podcast, aflevering 2194: Wrapping Columns.
Hé, welkom terug bij netcast, ik ben Bill Jelen. De vraag van vandaag, ingezonden door Gwen. Gwen kijkt naar video 984, genaamd Sneaking Columns. Dit is van jaren geleden, en ik heb toen eigenlijk een formule gebruikt om dit op te lossen, maar dit tweelingprobleem is ingewikkelder.
So she has a three column worksheet with around 15,000 rows. and needs to make each page six columns. So, on the first page, these 60 cells; and then next to it, the next 60 cells. Now, Gwen has figured out that she can fit about 60 rows. But for anyone else watching this, the most important part here is to figure out how many rows because you'll really screw things up if you make any of these changes after the fact.
Alright, so for me, what I'm going to do is I'm going to come here to page layout, I'm gonna declare that these seven columns are going to be my print area-- Print Area, Set Print Area. I'm going to go into Print Titles and say that “Rows to repeat at top” is 1:1. I'm going to go… Actually, I'd like to use Margins here-- Margins, Narrow, and then back in the Page Setup, Header/Footer, and choose whatever my, you know, Custom Footer should be-- Confidential. Do all of the those settings, anything you're ever going to change first. Alright? Because that's going to change the number of rows per page.
Now, I'm going to type in the number 1 here, this is just going to be some temporary data. I'm going to hold down the Ctrl key and grab the Fill handle, and go down until I'm sure I'm past the first page like that. And then, we'll just do a Print Preview-- Ctrl+P, Show Print Preview-- and you'll notice that I have 46 rows that fit on the first page. And let's just check, go to the second page-- so 46 plus 46 is 92, so we're getting 46 rows per page, 46 rows per page. That number is incredibly important-- 46. In fact, I'm going to write it down over here just so I don't forget-- 46 rows per page.
Alright, now, I'm going to solve this today with a Macro; back in video 984, I used some complex formulas to do it, but today a macro feels better. If you've never used macros before don't be intimidated. Here's how we start: We press Alt+F11-- Alt+F11-- that brings open this screen and actually, the very first time that you open Alt+F11, it's going to be just a big gray screen-- probably a lot like this-- like that. So you want to say, View, Project Explorer, Find your workbook here, and say Insert Module-- I've already done that-- and what we'll get-- and what we get-- is a white screen. And over here in this white screen, you're going to type this code, alright? The word "Sub" which means that this is a subroutine, and then any naming you want-- I call it WrapThem, no spaces there, so just jam everything together-- open and closing parenthesis. Then we're we're going to create a variable: FinalRow = Cells(Rows.Count, 1).End, and these four letters here are XL, not X1-- everybody screws this up, XL. And you can type it in all caps if you want but they're going to change it back to that format where the L looks like a 1-- don't put a 1 there. Rows.Per.Page-- and this is where you put whatever number you figured out. Now, for me it's 46; for Gwen, it sounds like it's 60. And then, the next row where we want the first data to go is Row 2, and then the next column-- 1, 2, 3, 4, 5-- is Column 5.
Alright, so I set this up. And then, the rest of this is going to be very, very generic. it's going to work with, you know, any size data set: For I (it's a variable) = 2 To FinalRow (that's how many rows we had) Step (that means every time through the loop we're going to increase by) RowsPerPage (which in this case is 46, for Gwen's case it's going be 60). We're going to say: Cells(NextRow, NextCol) -- so, next row's going to be 2, Column 5-- .Resize(RowsPerPage, 3) -- resize 46 rows, 3 columns-- .Value = _ (and that's an underscore there) It's going to be equal to Cells(1, 1) -- so whatever is in Row 2 comma 1, Column 1-- .Resize(RowsPerPage, 3).Value. And then, what we have to do is, we have to be a little bit clever here about after we paste the first 46 times 46 rows, by 3 columns.
Where do we go next? There, right? So, if currently, the next column is pointing to Column E, well, then I need the next one to go to Column I. I is the ninth column. Alright. So that's why we say NextCol = 5. But if we're not… NextCol = 5 that means our NextCol = 9. Then we're going to reset the next group back to Column E and the NextRow is going to be = whatever the previous row was, + 46. And then next time… now here, let's just walk through this, you don't have to run it one step at a time. But I'm going to do that with F8-- just to see what we get here.
And so, what we've learned, is the final row is real-- 15,582. We're about to write to row 2, column 5. And so: For I = 2 To FinalRow. The first time through, I is going to be equal to 2. We're going to say that Row 2, Column 5, is going to be equal to Row 2, Column 1-- 46 rows, 3 columns. I want to run this with F8. We'll look over here in the spreadsheet and we'll see that it turned out those first 46 came to this area. Alright. But, we're going to let this run again. Alright.
Now, the second time through the loop, the I has jumped up from 2 to 48. Alright. And so this time, we're going to be running to Row 2, Column 9, and we're going to be getting data from Row 48. Alright, now let's go check this one right here. So, what we see is Andy Hartley-- that works great-- down here at the end, Kelly Ferguson. But the next person should be Lue Rahman-- Rahman-- and that works, and it goes down to Lue Harvey, right there. Alright. Now, what we're hoping next time, is we get Barb Davison. I'll press F8 few more times, here's the next one and we look, and it's now writing to Row 48. Alright. And it's Barb Davison, and it appears to be working. At this point, I'm happy with it, I'm just going to click run.
And, actually, you don't have to go-- if you're not creating a video to explain this to somebody-- you don't have to go through and press F8; you could just come up here, click inside WrapThem, click run, and that fast it will take your data and wrap it into two columns.
Now, some things I see here-- Surname isn't wide enough, that should not affect our page layout, I'm hoping. And when I do Print Preview, I now have 170 pages. Data there, Page 2, Page 3, Page 4. Now, if we would change the margins at this point, everything is going to be screwed up-- it's going to be horrible. That's why it's really, really important, right up front, you have to do all of your page layout things before you calculate that 46. Now, of course, at this point, Save your workbook with a new name, alright? We don't want to destroy the personal workbook. And then you can delete columns A through D, and you have your results.
Now, if you want to learn about macros-- macros are incredibly powerful-- we probably could have solved this with a formula. And, certainly, the me from 10 years ago solved it with a formula, but at this point in my life, just a simple little 15 line macro is a lot easier. This book, by Tracy Syrstad and myself, will teach you all about macros.
Alright, wrap-up for this Episode: How to wrap 3 columns of data in 2 sets of columns per page. The super important step, you have to do all the page setup things first, Rows to Repeat at Top, Margins, Header/Footer, and then just type some numbers-- 1 through whatever-- I use the Fill handle with control; go to Print Preview, How many rows per page; switch over to Alt+F11; Insert a module and then type the code that I showed you in the video; click run. And most of the time, I advise people to save your workbook as xlsm, but in this case this was a one-time thing, I'm suspecting. So if you're, you know, just want to have that macro disappear, keep it as xlsx, save the file, it'll warn you that you're about to lose your macro. That's probably okay, because we've solved the problem well.
Hé, ik wil Gwen bedanken voor het verzenden van die vraag, ik wil je bedanken voor het langskomen. We zien je de volgende keer voor een nieuwe netcast van.
