Convert Excel tabs to PDF (keeping very specific formats)

Bren312

Hi all, I'm hoping someone will be able to help me answer a question.  I'm trying to automate sending 20 - 30 Excel tabs which have multiple sections per sheet as PDFs attached to emails.

 

The spreadsheets all have very specific formats which must be keep intact (basically they are scorecards with conditional formatting built on a rat's nest of calcs).  An example of one of these scorecards is included below.

 

I'm hoping to create PDFs of each one of these monsters and send to various distro lists while maintaining the exact structure of each section of the individual worksheets.  If I use a Render tool, I believe I'll need to create a table to input into the tool which will wreck the structure I need to maintain.  Hopefully that makes sense.  Please let me know if you have any questions and I'll be happy to try and clarify.  Thanks all!

@ArnaldoSandoval Hope you are still active :) I actually like to upload a flow to the server conatining this macro, but as you already mentioned it will not work properly. What exactly needs to be adjusted to make it work? I saved it as an Analytics App already. I guess I have to change something else, too?

 

Hope you or anyone else can help!
