Aligning Autoshape In The Center Of Cell
Jul 2, 2013
Any way to vertically and horizontally center an autoshape in a cell without VBA. I created a shape and placed it in a cell but don't think it is centered. Also, if I add shapes to adjacent cells, I would want them all to be centered directly in the middle of the cells they are in. Using the align feature only seems to make sure the shapes are aligned to each other but doesn't seem to put them in the center of their respective cells.

My current spreadsheet shows text that's aligning just slightly to the left of center. In the Format Cells menu under Alignment, I have selected Center for both Horizontal and Vertical. There is no indent. Orientation is 0 degrees. Text is set to wrap. Merge cells is unchecked. Text direction is Context.
When I double click a cell to change the text, it centers correctly as the cursor blinks. But when I click somewhere else and it stops blinking and allowing me to type in the cell, it aligns slightly to the left of center.

I have a sheet that contains several autoshape objects. What I need to do is find all the cell addresses & then format the same cell addresses on another sheet with a solid colour. So for instance if my first autoshape is in Sheet1!A8, I need to fill say red or blue the same cell on sheet 2 ...

I've seen examples of VBA that will colour autoshapes based on cell values. I have a map of the UK made up of autoshapes that have been edited to create a shape of each postcode area such as EX, GL, NR etc. Also I have a list of all these postcode areas and I have given them a zone number (1-7) depending where in the UK they are.
PcodeZoneDH3DL3DN2DT1DY2E4EC4EH5
At the moment I have set the colours using the fill option so anything that is a particular zone is a certain colour (i.e. zone 2 is green).
What I would like to do is to set a zone to a colour, so the map will update all the zones with the right colours.
I need to be able to read the zone number that is assigned to a postcode area and change the relevant autoshape to the correct colour so that any postcode area can be one of 7 colours.
I can't attach a spreadsheet with my map and postcodes otherwise I would have.
Is there an easy way i can read the zone number of each postcode area in the list and update that autoshapes colour? Would the autshape need to have a name so it know which one to update or is this not possible?

I have created an employee schedule with 26 pay periods. Each pay period has its' own worksheet for scheduling employees.
To navigate to the worksheets I created a home page on one of the worksheets and would like to create an AutoShape for navigating with a hyperlink based on the pay period which is selected in cell B3. When the autoshape is clicked the user would go to the correct pay period worksheet.
For example Home Page:
Cell B3 contains drop down list of the 26 pay periods which the user selects the proper pay period (ie. 8Jun14-21Jun14)
Cell E3 is a cell reference on the sheet A1
Cell B6 contains hyperlink formula =HYPERLINK("#"&"'" & B3 & "'!" & E3)
Autoshape has formula =B6
When I click on the autoshape the hyperlink does not work.

Let's say I place a rectagle/textbox on a worksheet. If I select it and go to the formula bar and write =A1 the content of cell A1 will be displayed in the rectangle (and of course if i change the content of A1 cell, the content of the rectangle/textbox will be updated). How can I do this from a VBA macro? How can I link the content of a rectangle/textbox to a cell?

The idea is to center an image in the middle of a cell where the cell's size is variable. This shall be done for a column of images if a certain cell in the same row contains content different from 0. If not the image shall be invisible.
Sub Center()Dim Position As Integer
Dim Picture As Integer
Picture = 6
For Position = 7 To 320If Sheets("List of Measures").Cells(Position, 2).Value
[Code] ......

I'm having to run at low resolution on a sheet currently, so I'm using a zoom/center routine to make the dropdown lists visible for selections.
Issue I have is how do I select cell A1 after my error handling and exit routine properly. I couldn't get it to work without trying to select cell A1 before I would make a dropdown list selection. For now I am just running a separate macro to select a1 tied to a pushbutton as a temp fix. Code is attached.
Code:
Private Sub Worksheet_SelectionChange(ByVal Target As Range)
Dim lZoom As Long
Dim lZoomDV As Long
Dim lDVType As Long
lZoom = 57

I use the following codes to copy a cell which contains a picture and paste it to another worksheet. I think these codes copy more than just the picture.
Since pictures in Excel are not associated with cells, how do I copy just the picture in a particular cell and how to determine the size of the picture?
These codes are in a for loop.
Code:
tempCell.Offset(0, -1).Copy
Workbooks(fileName & ".xlsx").Activate
Workbooks(fileName & ".xlsx").Sheets(1).Cells(cell.Row, cell.Column - 1).Select
Sheets(1).Pictures.Paste
Workbooks(fileName & ".xlsx").Sheets(1).Cells(cell.Row, cell.Column - 1).RowHeight = tempCell.RowHeight

I have a range of cells that, when ever I try to click on, bring up the AutoShape rectangle. I don't know how I managed to turn this off, but I'd love to know how to turn it off.

Seems like this should be pretty cut-n-dry to me...I thought I could "hide" an Autoshape (AutoShape 19) using some formula [I.E. =IF(B12="","",SUM(C37:C45)) ] but I cannot get it to work...
Basically I dont want to see the shape if there is no data D49.

I have a shared document I created. In has been in use for 4 months with no problems. This last month, 3 other individuals not very cognizant with Excel were using the document. One of these individuals placed a 'line' in the document. It appears that they used Autoshapes to draw the line.
I want to remove the line they have drawn. It sounds like a simple problem, but I've tried:
* Edit, Clear, All
* Edit, Cut
*Right Click the 'line', Format AutoShape, under Colors and Lines, change Line Color to No Line
* Delete a series of rows with the line in the middle row,
Everything I’ve tried to eliminate this line is not working and this is very frustrating. This type of 'line formatting' is rampant in the department and has appeared in multiple documents, which I've had to recreate.
I'm not sure what they did, so I'm not sure how to correct this issue. I'm presuming they used AutoShapes. There are two small white circles - above and below the line. And a small green circle above the top white circle that has circular arrows surround it....perhaps a rotate feature.

Can I lock an autoshapes position relative to the screen size?
i.e. I have a disclaimer that appears at the bottom of my screen in the middle, however when the workbook is sent to another user and their monitor has different aspect ratio's the autoshape is positioned a couple of inches from the bottom of the screen.
I have looked at locking to cell references but this has the same effect.

I have been trying to make it so that an autoshape changes colour according to the value of a particular cell but every time I run the macro the shape is black and I cannot work out why. The code is -
Private Sub CommandButton1_Click()
Dim X As Integer
X = Range("H5").Value
With Sheets("Sheet 1").Shapes("Rectangle 1").Select
Select Case X
Case Is > 0:
Selection.ShapeRange.Fill.ForeColor.RGB = 2
Case Is < 0:
Selection.ShapeRange.Fill.ForeColor.RGB = 3
Case Else:
Selection.ShapeRange.Fill.ForeColor.RGB = 1
End Select
End With
UserForm2.Hide
End Sub

I have a large map of a region with which I want to create autoshapes to allow certain areas to be zoomed into. So far i have made an autoshape, assigned a macro, and used
ActiveWindow.Zoom = True
To zoom into it. At least that is the theory. What I have discovered is that this only works when a shape is selected, which does not occur when you click on it. Is there a way to get the name of the autoshape being clicked, so that i may select it within the macro and zoom in on it. Or is there a better way of doing this? I am trying to avoid making explicit macros for each autoshape as I will have many of them by the time this is complete.

How do I sort out columns aligning them to match data in another column?
Column B is 200 rows long all with data such as FLEZ054246. Columns C is 100 rows long but it will match some from B. I need to align C,D,E with B as long as C & B match. The rows that don't match can be left open for C, D, E.
EX.
Column B Column C Column D Column E

aligning some data. Cupno has more entries than seqno and there are duplicate entries. I cannot think of a way to get seqno+results to align with cups. If it's possible to delete rows the don't have a corresponding seqno thats ok too. I've attached the example workbook. Sheet1 is the data and Sheet2 contains what ideally the results should look like

My application is in vba and I want to log information in text file which required four columns. The tool should open the log file and log the issue and close the file immediately so that other processes running in parallel could also post the issues to it without loss of data. Keep appending to the log file.
Log file should look like: LogFile.txt

Column A contains the date, every day since 1/2/07 to present
Column B contains a value for that date
Column D has dates within the range in Column A but at odd days (e.g. 4/2/07, 10/2/07)
Column E has data which corresponds to the date in Column D.
Can anyone advise of a formula which can allow me to put the data in Column E in line with the dates on column A rather than the dates in column D?
I want to have in Column C values from Column E that match with the dates in Column A, so for example next to 1/2/07 the cell would be empty but next to 4/2/07 in column A would be the value corresponding with that date in columns D & E.

Morning all. I'm trying to use VBA to generate autoshape arrows to track changes in values.
Something allong the lines of Column B (Jans data) C (Febs Data) E (autoshape arrow, green up, for improvement, or red downwards for a worsening).
The problem I'm having is postioning my autoshapes. The only way I can do it at present is to keep all columns and rows a standard width, and position using multiples of those.
Is there anyway to set the autoshape to the cell height and width, and position it within the boundries of the cell? This way I don't have to worry about rewiting my code every time I change a cell width?

If you know the autoshape number, it is easy to retrieve any caption text but is there a way to retrieve the text from any autoshape without knowing its number.
Dim ASText As String
ActiveSheet.Shapes("AutoShape 43").Select
ASText = Selection.Characters.Text
This will place the text in AutoShape 43 into variable ASText.
I need the code to get the text from any autoshape I click on reguardless of what its number is.
I use a lot of autoshapes on a worksheet as command buttons. Sometimes, the macro code is identical for many buttons with the exception of what the autoshapes text is. This text is the variable the macro needs. It would alow me to use one macro instead of sometimes 30 or more.

I am using a diamond shape that is copied into the active sheet when the user runs a macro. The user then selects the shape and enters some text. I want to limit the characters to a certain number or at least be able to give the user some advice when they enter too many characters.
I have found that, as long as I have manually named the shape "Diamond1", I can get the count in my immediate window with the following:
?ActiveSheet.Shapes("Diamond1").TextFrame.Characters.Count
but I want the count to relate to the active shape. So I tried:
?selection.shapeRange.TextFrame.Characters.Count
and I get a "runtime error 438 Object doesn't support this property or method".
How should I count the characters in the selected shape, and then if it is over say 12, require the user to shorten it or at least present yield a message Box?

I have drawn an arrow on a worksheet using the Autoshape menu on the Drawing Toolbar. Now I'd like to write some code that will hide this arrow (make it not visible). Later on in my code the arrow should become visible again. The idea is that users will not see this arrow untill certain actions have been performed.
