I have an autoshape on an sheet, and use this code (it's a circle), to rezise it....
[Code] ....
However, it does rezise it, but the shape doesn't keep it's central position. Is there a bit of code I can add to stop the shape from moving? In other words, have the shape rezise around it's center of location?
I am trying to cut and paste an object (an excel shape to be more precise) into its same position. It could, for example, be relative to the top left corner, but how to modify the paste method will be welcome. Surely this is a piece of cake for most of you, but I haven't been able to find the answer for objects floating on the screen.

I created a shape (rectangle). I assigned a macro to it, to activate another worksheet.
Can I fix the position of the shape on the screen, near the top. I have 700 rows in the worksheet and I want this rectangle always visible, near the top.
i need to loop through a column of values and get each value
Dim LastRow2 As Long
Windows("SCFOutput.xlsm").Activate
Sheets("Q2SCNeg").Select
Columns("A:B").Select
ActiveSheet. Range("A65536").End(xlUp).Offset(1, 0).Select
LastRow2 = ActiveCell.Row - 1
For Each c In Worksheets("Q2SCNeg").Range("A2:A" & LastRow2).Cells
MsgBox ActiveCell.Value
Next c
i did this but it selects the first blank row (row 15) and gives me an empty message box 14 times (which is right, but i need 14 values) the reason i need the loop is because the number ov values will always change
I want to resize a shape and set the height to a specific cell. How can I achieve that?
View 7 Replies View RelatedI have written a small piece of code that handles clicks on buttons on an excel spread sheet. When a button is pressed, i need to know the row number where the button resides in.
I have searched and read about this issue on several forums, and they all indicate that i need to use something like
application.caller.topleftcell.row
to get the row number and
application.caller.topleftcell.column
to get the column number.
However, when i use the row variant, it ALWAYS returns row number 1. When i use the column variant, it returns the column number it is actually in.
i have added the full code that is creating the buttons below, and also the part that displayes the rownumber that is incorrect.
Private Sub Workbook_Open()
Dim name
Dim time As Integer
time = InputBox("Typ the hour you are checking" & vbCrLf & "eg: 7, 10, 13, 14, 15, 16, 17, 18, 19", "Which Check")
when i run the below code i get an error 438 'object doesnt support this property or method'

View 5 Replies View RelatedI have the following code that let's the user choose and " import" data to an existing sheet. It works well up until now. The problem is that the three ranges that I am trying to copy the data from on workbook to another has changed size. In previous version of my workbooks the range was two columns by 10 rows. Now, it is 1 column by 10 rows. So, when I run this macro it doesn't work because the two ranges are different. Is there any way to:
1) Only copy over one of the rows of a range thus making the macro run?
2) Do not run that part of the macro if there is an error?
Thanks so much for reading this long-winded description but the error is a big problem

How do you references the properties of a shape? I am having trouble with 2 different types. Firstly, I have a worksheet with a group of commandbuttons (all added using the Control toolbox) and I want to loop through them changing, for example, the enabled property of each to TRUE.
Secondly, I have some commandbuttons on a worksheet (added using the Forms toolbox). How would I loop through changing, say, the text on the buttons. I used the macro recorder to try to get an idea and got the following:
Sheet1.Shapes("button 15").Select
Selection.Characters.Text = "New Text"
Although this works, it is not very elegant, how can it be achieved without selecting the button each time, but rather by directly accessing the property.
Formula/code to change the position of where the subtotals are placed. I don't want them appearing at the beginning or end of the data set but in a separate column beside each data set. how to access the code so I can try and alter it myself.

I have a chart that needs to be positioned at the bottom of a table of data. (The table of data is created by some VBA which extracts data from another sheet based on user input). The chart is a pivot chart built on a pivot table from another worksheet. I've read the suggestion that the chart should be positioned above the table of data which I would do, however as there is already a series of tables and charts above, it would be too confusing for the user to see the chart out of sequence.
As I already have a fair bit of VBA to generate my existing sheet, I’d like to have something very simple that I can insert in various places depending when the user makes a change, which requires the chart to be repositioned. Something like:
Change chart position To Range ("B65536").End(xlUp).Row
