I'm trying to write a small function that takes in a filepath (where the workbook was saved at), targetpath (where the pdf will be saved to), and a string of tab names (pipe (|) delimited) in excel.
The user of the function doesn't have to input a string of tab names (it's optional) and if they don't, I want to select all of the visible tabs and print them. This would be in the case if the user has 50 charts in separate worksheets and don't want to write a string like "Chart1|Chart2|...."
Code:
For Each WSO.Name In WBO.Worksheets
strSheets = strSheets & WSO.Name & "|"
Next WSO
strSheets = Left(strSheets, Len(strSheets) - 1)
arraySheets() = Split(strSheets, "|")
WBO.Sheets(arraySheets()).Select
WBO.ActiveSheet.ExportAsFixedFormat Type:=xlTypePDF, FileName:= _
strFilePath, Quality:=xlQualityStandard, _
IncludeDocProperties:=True, IgnorePrintAreas:=False, OpenAfterPublish:= _
True
There's two problems with the For Each loop: it doesn't grab any sheets such as "Chart1", it only grabs sheets such as "Sheet1". Also, it will grab hidden sheets so that when I try to select them all I get an out of bounds error.
I didn't know if a Chart sheet is referred to differently then a regular sheet or why hidden sheets are also chosen.
In Excel VBA: The 'Worksheets' collection would refer to the collection of all the worksheet objects in a workbook. In the above example, the Worksheets collection would consist of three worksheets. The 'Sheets' collection would refer to all the worksheets as well as chart sheets in the workbook.
In VBA, each workbook has a collection of worksheets. There is an entry in this collection for each worksheet in the workbook. This collection is simply called Worksheets and is used in a very similar way to the Workbooks collection. To get access to a worksheet all you have to do is supply the name.
Use WBO.Sheets
instead of WBO.Worksheets
in the loop.
Verify that WSO.Visible = xlSheetVisible
to filter out hidden sheets.

Charts and Worksheets are two different collections.
Try this:
Sub Demo()
Dim oWs As Worksheet
Dim oCs As Chart
For Each oWs In ActiveWorkbook.Worksheets
Debug.Print oWs.Name
Next
For Each oCs In ActiveWorkbook.Charts
Debug.Print oCs.Name
Next
End Sub
