I am making a spreadsheet file for our football offcials group to review rules.
I tried to record a macro to copy a shape and put it into the spreadsheet, but the shape does not copy.
How do I get the shape to copy into the spreadsheet?
What I want is for them to "think" what they would do and then click the macro and it will show them where the ball would be after the foul/fouls.
The following works perfect in 2003.
Private Sub CommandButton1_Click()
Dim shpTemp As Shape
Set shpTemp = Worksheets("Sheet3").Shapes(ListBox1.Value)
shpTemp.Copy
With Worksheets("Sheet1")
.Activate
. Range("A1").Select
.Paste
Set shpTemp = .Shapes(.Shapes.Count)
shpTemp.Fill.UserPicture ListBox2.Value
End With
End Sub
However, when run in excel 2007 the shape is not filled. If you right click the shape, format shape and click on the "Picture or texture fill" it will fill the shape with the previously selected picture in the userform. I have tried by adding
shpTemp.UserPicture.Fill.Visible = True....................
It's difficult to explain, the attached shows the situation better. Basically there's a picture that is somehow linked to a cell. But, you can update the picture or the cell and the other one gets updated.

The option if you select the picture then tick format, picture shape and it's the second rectangle in. I can not seem to find that particular piece of code for that particular shape. The other comparison is the (reflected beveled, black) option under picture format.

I have set up a rollover hyperlink so that when I hover over the cell it changes colour and creates a good effect. To do this I have another cell on the sheet that turns to 1 when the cell in question is hovered over.
I need a code so that when that cell displays the number 1. the object (which is rectangle 2) changes from white fill. to a picture I have saved on my desktop.
I cant quite figure out the coding and have been messing about with things like..
if cell range e.g a1 = 1 then rectangle 2 .userpicture " path " else .solid etc.
I'm trying to make a map of 14 regions where each region changes brightness depending on values in the worksheets. I think I've got this bit sorted. I'm planning on creating the map using a collection of tessellated shapes or images, and using VBA to alter the properties of each one to create a dynamic map.
The output of the individual maps from MapInfo, our GIS software, is in .png or .jpg. format, and come with a white background. Is there any way to either make the background transparent so multiple shapes can be tessellated effectively, or a way to crop the image to the area's border?
Either that, or does someone know a way to output from MapInfo in such a way to make this possible? (Granted, it's a long shot, but you can't blame a guy for trying...)
when i run the below code i get an error 438 'object doesnt support this property or method'

Now verified to be occur on other machines running various versions of Office 2007...
In Excel 2007, write this simple macro and assign it to a shape:
I have to create an identical button on 20 sheets.
I have a shape creation macro but it creates in the default format.
Can I either change the default format so they are created in the way I want or code to add formatting? I need no shadow, can colour (pref with gradient fill), bevelled edges and text.
Sounds like the first option will be easiest if it works!
I created a shape and named it Cheque and created a macro to print the shape as follows:
ActiveSheet.Shapes("Cheque").PrintOut
But the macro is not printing!
I am trying to write a set of code, part of which involves moving a shape around an excel spreadsheet in a square shape within a certain range. It is based on a random number generator. The shape moves a number of cells to the left/right/up/down depending on the random number (d) multiplied by 16. If the shape reaches a row or column border point, it will change direction but continue moving in the new direction until it has gone as far as was determined by the random number (*16). I have some code which works fine... to a point! The shape starts out, reaches a right hand border, changes direction to go up, reaches another border, changes again and goes left, but then when it comes to change dorection the 3rd time and go down, it fails. The direction of the shape is determined by a word in cell A1 - left/right/up/down:
Sub MoveRed()
Application. ScreenUpdating = True
Dim d As Integer
Dim i As Integer
d = Range("AZ1").Value
With ActiveSheet.Shapes("RedDot")
For i = 1 To 16 * d
Select Case Range("A1").Value

I am changing command buttons over to shapes for aesthetic purposes. I went to assign a macro to call useform4 using a rectangle with the following code:
[Code] .....
It throws me some kind of file path error which makes no sense. Do I have to dim the rectangle2 for active sheet or something?
I've got a macro function which calculates the area of a polygon freeform using the 'shoelace'-methode. I would like to excute this function after i leave the shape editing mode.
For example: I have a square, freeform shape. By right-mouseclick I can edit the shape nodes. If i drag one of the nodes of the square to another position and click outside of the shape, the new shape is updated. Right, on that moment i would like to trigger my macro to recalculate the area.
Is there an event in excel to aim for, like the Worksheet.change-event or something similar?
I've got a macro that I can rund when I click on a shape. It's called "Shape_Click".
Basically, I want this macro to be automatically assigned to any shape I create, as I create it.
I know the line will be something like: [Code] ........
I have a macro that runs when I click on a shape. This macro is called "Shape_Click"
I can apply that to a shape by selecting it and manually running this macro:
[Code] .....
How do I get the subroutine to run as soon as the new shape has been selected, rather than haviong to manually run it.
Something like "Sub Worksheet_ShapeAdded" or something like that? I can't work it out.
I have map shape in my excel sheet. each country is a shapes on its own. If i Select one of the country i want to display a pop up Box. For examle if i select Americas I need it to display another box with some data and when i deselect it it should hide the box. Tried some code over here but does not work.
Sub HideShowRectangle()
With ActiveSheet.Shapes("Data1")
If ActiveSheet.Shapes("Americas").Select = "True" Then
.Visible = True
Else
.Visible = False
End If
End With
End Sub
I found in an old file that i triggered the macro by clicking a button! I would post a pic but i don't know how. How do I activate a macro by clicking a shape on the excel 2002 page?
View 7 Replies View RelatedIn Excel 2010, is there any way to paste a picture into a small picture/diagram box, and upon double clicking the picture it would explode to a larger size? And I guess double clicking it again would make it return to its original (smaller) size. I would be pasting several pictures into several different picture/diagram boxes and would need this to be a relative reference so that upon selection it explodes the appropriate picture?

View 6 Replies View RelatedI copied this from another post and am having trouble getting it to work for me. I want to be able to run this macro, find a picture on my computer which could be located anywhere and then have it paste in specific cells.
Whenever I run this it lets me find the picture I want and when I select it I get error message that says "compile error" Syntax Error". It then does not put the picture on the sheet.

A macro, which would allow me to click on a particular cell, which will have an ID number (1 through 34), each ID# is attributed to a particular employee. These ID# are located in my spreadsheet in columns B & G, and the ID #'s begin initially in B6 & G6 and continue downward to B34 & G34. These ID #'s are used in a vlookup type formula which covers 35 pages of this workbook. What I'd like to do is be able to click on any cell between B6& B34 (and/or the same in G6&G34), which has a particular ID # in it and have the photo of that particular employee designated with that ID# pop up in a window generated by the macro. I hope this makes sense! Any help would be greatly appreciated. My 1st sheet in my workbook is my "lookup" tab, which contains my ID# list and numbering sequence affiliated to each employee. So I'm not sure if I'd need to put the photograph of the employee in a column next to the employees name or have a folder designated with all my pictures in a certain directory, etc.

. . . or, can someone help me with a new macro that can open pictures
. . . I would still like to have the file checking options to see if the picture is already open and if not, that it actually exists.
I'm watching an educational D V D on my computer, and take notes in excel. I repeatedly use the print screen command, then go to excel and paste in the picture, though it is too large. I resize it to 50% and I'm done. What kind of code do I need to use to paste and shrink the picture to 50%? Also, how do I attach a shortcut key to this action (for example Ctrl+M)
I have been able to piece together something that works great for me till i tested it on a item that I did not have a picture referanced to it.
I am looking for some help with what i guess is an "if" statement that if no picture is found paste "Sorry no picture found" in c3.
Here is code
Sub Copy_Cells()
'Copying the row
addr = ActiveSheet.Shapes(Application.Caller).TopLeftCell.Address
Intersect( Range(addr).EntireRow, Range("b:ak")).Select
Selection.Copy Sheet2.Range("b65536").End(xlUp).Offset(0, 0)
Sheets("sheet3").Select
'Picture code
MyPicturesName = Sheets("sheet3").Range("i5").Text
Sheets("sheet5").Shapes(MyPicturesName).Copy
Sheets("sheet3").Range("c3").Select
ActiveSheet.Paste
Range("a1").Select
'hide tabs
Sheets("Sheet1").Select
ActiveWindow.SelectedSheets.Visible = False
End Sub
I have done the above where when I select a picture name from a drop down list it displays the relevant picture in another cell by using the IF function in the named formula
My question is why cant I use VLOOKUP instead of IF in the named formula. When I use it it comes with an error.
I have a picture that has been inserted into a worksheet via a macro and I have a number of macros to increase and decrease size. They work fine.
However, whenever I run one of those macros by selecting a button on the worksheet, it results in a border around the picture.
Facts:
- worksheet is called "Admin"
- picture is called "ClientLogo"
- Line.Weight set to "0" or "False" or "xlNone" or removed all result in a border
Question: Code / syntax for removing or setting the border to nothing?
VB:
Sub ReduceShape()
Dim shp As ShapeRange
On Error Goto NoSelectionMade
Sheets("Admin").Shapes("ClientLogo").Select
Set shp = Selection.ShapeRange

My macro generates some graph from some datas. Datas are in some range and when I filtering it shows only filtered values. I use Fixed axis (min and max) because if I use Auto it fit data to the window.
My problem is: I would like to use Auto axis because my layout would be better but bacground picture remains the same and it's useless. Background picture should change as I change filters.
example:
untitled.JPG
here is picture:
current situation is 1.
With Auto axis I get 2. (blue B and green D are filtered results)
And I would like to have 3.
Is it possible that background picture variate as datas variates?
macro which can show a picture of a certain cell and if I change the value of that cell the picture will be changed to the new cell value,
Like
If I put in cell A1 value DOG, so the pic in cell B1 is a dog pic that I defined before, and if I change that value to a cat, the pic should be changed to another pic.
I'm working on a dashboard that shows some market developments. One of the problems is that I'm using linked pictures and a combo box to choose the appropriate graph, but sometimes the picture link returns a blank. Apparently this is a bug that can be fixed by running a macro that refreshes the picture link. Unfortunately I'm a real beginner with this kind of stuff.
