Automate printing after data refresh
- 8 years ago
I managed to reach a solution by using Macro. Not sure if this can be achieved by any other way.
The task was to import an input table into PQWRY and generating two outputs and print them upon refresh.
Sheet 1 contains Raw data and Sheet 2 and 3 contains output generated by PQWRY- https://drive.google.com/open?id=0B7imabOIHE8QTTFBLWw4aFU5dzg
Sub Macro1() ' ' Macro1 Macro ' ' With ActiveWorkbook.Connections("Query - Table1").OLEDBConnection .BackgroundQuery = False .CommandText = Array("SELECT * FROM [Table1]") .CommandType = xlCmdSql .Connection = _ "OLEDB;Provider=Microsoft.Mashup.OleDb.1;Data Source=$Workbook$;Location=Table1;Extended Properties=""""" .RefreshOnFileOpen = False .SavePassword = False .SourceConnectionFile = "" .SourceDataFile = "" .ServerCredentialsMethod = xlCredentialsMethodIntegrated .AlwaysUseConnectionFile = False End With With ActiveWorkbook.Connections("Query - Table1") .Name = "Query - Table1" .Description = "Connection to the 'Table1' query in the workbook." End With With ActiveWorkbook.Connections("Query - Table1 (2)").OLEDBConnection .BackgroundQuery = False .CommandText = Array("SELECT * FROM [Table1 (2)]") .CommandType = xlCmdSql .Connection = _ "OLEDB;Provider=Microsoft.Mashup.OleDb.1;Data Source=$Workbook$;Location=Table1 (2);Extended Properties=""""" .RefreshOnFileOpen = False .SavePassword = False .SourceConnectionFile = "" .SourceDataFile = "" .ServerCredentialsMethod = xlCredentialsMethodIntegrated .AlwaysUseConnectionFile = False End With With ActiveWorkbook.Connections("Query - Table1 (2)") .Name = "Query - Table1 (2)" .Description = "Connection to the 'Table1 (2)' query in the workbook." End With ActiveWorkbook.RefreshAll Sheets("Sheet2").Select ActiveWindow.SelectedSheets.PrintOut Copies:=1, Collate:=True, _ IgnorePrintAreas:=False Sheets("Sheet3").Select Range("Table1__2[[#Headers],[Name]]").Select ActiveWindow.SelectedSheets.PrintOut Copies:=1, Collate:=True, _ IgnorePrintAreas:=False End SubIf there any more ways to achieve I would be very intersted to know.
