Copy buttons by rows

I'm learning Excel by myself and I've run into something I can't figur
out. I have a button at the end of a row that takes 4 seperate cell
from that row and puts them in 4 seperate cells on another sheet.
want to be able to make 1000 buttons that will be at the end of eac
row that takes the data from that row and puts it on another sheet jus
so I can print it, but I don't want to make them one at a time. Unles
there is another way...
 
I think I'd put the button in row 1 (shift the other stuff down).

Then window|freeze panes so that row 1 is always visible.

And modify the macro to use the row that has the activecell.
 
OK, I froze the button. Now how do I modify the macro? I'm trying to
program this sheet so that anyone can use it, even a Marine.
 
Or, perhaps, allow the user to select several rows and have the macro act on
all the selected.

Do you take the data from each row, populate the other worksheet, then print,
then get the next row and repeat?

If yes, then maybe selecting all the rows you want to use makes more sense??

And I made some assumptions--sheet names, cell addresses and the like:

Option Explicit
Sub testme()
Dim prtWks As Worksheet
Dim actWks As Worksheet
Dim myRng As Range
Dim myCell As Range
Dim iRow As Long

Set actWks = ActiveSheet
Set prtWks = Worksheets("Sheet2")

Set myRng = Intersect(Selection.EntireRow, actWks.Range("a:a"))

With prtWks
For Each myCell In myRng.Cells
iRow = myCell.Row
.Range("a1").Value = actWks.Cells(iRow, "b").Value
.Range("c99").Value = actWks.Cells(iRow, "x").Value
.Range("b3").Value = actWks.Cells(iRow, "C").Value
.Range("d4").Value = actWks.Cells(iRow, "A").Value
Application.Calculate
.PrintOut preview:=True
Next myCell
End With
End Sub

I put the info in column B into A1
X into C99
C into B3
A into D4

I also called the sheet to be printed Sheet2.

Change those things and test it out.

When/if you're happy, get rid of the preview:=true portion. (That's just to
save some trees!)
 
All I have is single buttons that I have to record a macro for eac
time. A thousand buttons will take me a week to record. I need
quicker, easier way.
 
I copied everything and changed "sheet2" to what it was and the B, X, C
and A back to what they were and I get an error. When I leave B, X, C
and A the same I get a print preview of the form but it doesn't hav
the info.
 
I am lost now. I think it would be easier if I sent someone the workbook
and they fix it for me. I won't read this again until tomorrow.
 
Post your code and what you want to happen.

HERE IS THE CODE I STARTED WITH:

Sub BUTTON1()
'
' BUTTON1 Macro
' Macro recorded 08/29/2005 by harrisonsl
'

'
Sheets("TURN-IN DOC").Select
Range("B6").Select
ActiveCell.FormulaR1C1 = "=BTR!R9C14"
Range("D10").Select
ActiveCell.FormulaR1C1 = "=BTR!R9C1"
Range("B12:E13").Select
ActiveCell.FormulaR1C1 = "=BTR!R9C26"
Range("B17").Select
ActiveCell.FormulaR1C1 = "=BTR!R9C51"
Range("B18").Select
End Sub

HERE'S WHAT I WANT TO HAPPEN. HOPEFULLY THIS ISN'T TOO CONFUSING. I
WROTE THIS SO YOU CAN REPLICATE THIS IN YOUR OWN EXCEL.:

BUTTON1 = MOVE ROW *9* SHEET2 (BTR) CELLS TO SHEET1 (TURN-IN DOC)
CELLS

SHEET2 CELLS
CELL: A*9*|N*9*|Z*9*|AY*9*
VALUE: 05W297|310|Flashlight,Mag,2Cell,withBaton|6230-01-432-6430

SHEET1 CELLS
CELL: D10|B6|B12|B17
CELL NAME: REPORT #|WORKCENTER|NOMENCLATURE|NSN

SHEET2 A*9* TO SHEET1 D10
SHEET2 N*9* TO SHEET1 B6
SHEET2 Z*9* TO SHEET1 B12
SHEET2 AY*9* TO SHEET1 B17

BUTTON2 = MOVE ROW *10* SHEET2 (BTR) CELLS TO SHEET 1 (TURN-IN DOC)
CELLS

SHEET2 CELLS
CELL: A*10*|N*10*|Z*10*|AY*10*
VALUE: 05W297|310|Flashlight,Mag,2Cell,withBaton|6230-01-432-6430

SHEET1 CELLS
CELL: D10|B6|B12|B17
CELL NAME: REPORT #|WORKCENTER|NOMENCLATURE|NSN

SHEET2 A*10* TO SHEET1 D10
SHEET2 N*10* TO SHEET1 B6
SHEET2 Z*10* TO SHEET1 B12
SHEET2 AY*10* TO SHEET1 B17

I need this for every row without recording each macro over and over
again.
 
It looks like you:

BTR --> turn-in doc
-------- -----------
column A --> D10
N --> B6
Z --> B12
AY --> B17

Do you do something with those values after you copy them to "turn-in doc"? I
did a print preview in this code:

Option Explicit
Sub testme()
Dim prtWks As Worksheet
Dim actWks As Worksheet
Dim myRng As Range
Dim myCell As Range
Dim iRow As Long

Set actWks = ActiveSheet 'BTR is the one with the buttons
Set prtWks = Worksheets("TURN-IN DOC")

Set myRng = Intersect(Selection.EntireRow, actWks.Range("a:a"))

With prtWks
For Each myCell In myRng.Cells
iRow = myCell.Row
.Range("d10").Value = actWks.Cells(iRow, "a").Value
.Range("b6").Value = actWks.Cells(iRow, "n").Value
.Range("b12").Value = actWks.Cells(iRow, "z").Value
.Range("b17").Value = actWks.Cells(iRow, "ay").Value
Application.Calculate
.PrintOut preview:=True
Next myCell
End With
End Sub

If you just copy the values over, then do some manual effort, you'll only want
to get the row with the activecell.

If that's the case, you can change this line:
Set myRng = Intersect(Selection.EntireRow, actWks.Range("a:a"))
to:
Set myRng = ActiveCell

And delete that .printout line.
 
It works. I'll just have to select the row and click the button. Can yo
get it to just stay on the "Turn-in Doc" sheet without the print previe
each time I hit the button?
 
Instead of this:
..PrintOut preview:=True
use:
..select

Or even

application.goto .range("a1"),scroll:=true

If you want to go to a specific cell.
 
Now I need something else along the same lines. I need a button to mov
2 cells in multiple selected rows to another sheet.

sheet2 --> sheet 1

row(rows selected) column a --> rows (# of rows selected) column a
row(rows selected) column z12 --> rows (# of rows selected) column
 
Maybe something like:

Option Explicit
Sub testme2()
Dim toWks As Worksheet
Dim actWks As Worksheet
Dim myRng As Range
Dim myCell As Range
Dim iRow As Long
Dim DestCell As Range

Set actWks = ActiveSheet
Set toWks = Worksheets("Sheet1")

Set myRng = Intersect(Selection.EntireRow, actWks.Range("a:a"))

With toWks
Set DestCell = .Cells(.Rows.Count, "A").End(xlUp).Offset(1, 0)
End With

With toWks
For Each myCell In myRng.Cells
iRow = myCell.Row
DestCell.Value = actWks.Cells(iRow, "a").Value
DestCell.Offset(0, 1).Value = actWks.Cells(iRow, "z").Value
Next myCell
End With
End Sub

I'm guessing that z12 meant column Z.
 
I copied what you wrote and renamed sheet2 to DRMO SHEET but nothin
happened. I took what you already showed me yesterday and I can get on
row to the sheet with this:

Option Explicit
Sub DRMO()
Dim prtWks As Worksheet
Dim actWks As Worksheet
Dim myRng As Range
Dim myCell As Range
Dim iRow As Long

Set actWks = ActiveSheet
Set prtWks = Worksheets("DRMO SHEET")

Set myRng = Intersect(Selection.EntireRow, actWks.Range("a:a"))

With prtWks
For Each myCell In myRng.Cells
iRow = myCell.Row
.Range("a6").Value = actWks.Cells(iRow, "a").Value
.Range("e6").Value = actWks.Cells(iRow, "z").Value
Application.Calculate
Application.Goto .Range("a1"), scroll:=True
Next myCell
End With
End Sub
