What is the Report Manager ?

 
 

You can combine Microsoft Excel 2002 worksheets, views, and scenarios into reports that can be printed by using the Report Manager add-in program.

 
 

Once you add a report, it is saved with the workbook so that you can print the report later.

 
 

This add-in is useful if you want to print multiple worksheets in one batch.

 
 

It lets you create a report which consists of a series of worksheets in a specified sequence.

 
 

You can’t choose a print range within a sheet, but the report respects any page breaks and headers and footers already present.

 
 

The add-in also supports views and scenarios. The report can only be printed to paper - there is no preview feature.

 

 

Download the Report Manager Add-in

 
 

If you are using Excel 2002 or 2003 and would like to use this add-in you can download it from the office.microsoft.com - Microsoft website.

 

 

Using the Report Manager

 
 

Select the Report Manager option from the View menu. Excel displays the Report Manager dialog box.

 
 

From the list of available reports, select the one you want to edit.

 
 

Click on the Edit button. Excel displays the Edit Report dialog box.

 
 

The only difference between this dialog box and the Add Report dialog box discussed in the last tip is that all of the fields are already filled in.

 
 

Make any changes you desire to the information in the dialog box.

 
 

You access the Report Manager from the View menu. The report parameters are saved with the workbook, and can be recalled and edited at any time.

 
 

You will probably find the reporting features of the Access Links add-in more flexible, but the Report Manager is faster and more convenient.

 
 

The add-in is supplied with Excel 97 and 2000, but if you use Excel 2002 you must download it from Microsoft’sWeb site.
