In this article I am going to explain about how to export a range of data in a Microsoft Excel 2010 worksheet to PDF or XPS format. For this we use Excel.ExportAsFixedFormat Method. Using this method we can export a range of data in a Microsoft Excel 2010 worksheet to PDF or XPS format.
Microsoft Office 2010 offer some powerful tools, using this tools you can create application. Using Microsoft Visual Basic for Applications (VBA) you can create your own application according to your need. These application can performer some specific task.
For creating application we can use
- VBA host of Excel 2010
- VBA host of PowerPoint 2010
- VBA host of Word 2010
NOTE : OneNote 2010 is not a VBA host.
Code that we use in this application are given below

fileName:=fileName, Quality:=xlQualityStandard, _
IncludeDocProperties:=True, IgnorePrintAreas:=True, _
From:=1, To:=1, OpenAfterPublish:=True)
End Sub
Sub SetupRangeData(rng As Range)
rng.Formula = "=RANDBETWEEN(1, 100)"
End Sub
