Select Shape In Active Cell
Mar 30, 2014
I am trying to select a shape in a cell and place a cell reference into the shape. I know the cell address, but do not know the shape reference. (The row that the cell and shape reside came from copying the row from another sheet and inserting it into the current sheet). I can not seem to come up with the correct code to accomplish this. Right now I have:
Cells(r + 1, 48).Select
ActiveCell.Shapes.Select
ActiveShapes.Formula = "$AW:" & r + 1
Where r+1 is the row where the line finally resides after insertion and "AW" is the column to the right of the cell where the shape resides.
I have tried to put the cell reference into the shape at the location where it is copied from but the reference is not dynamic and I can not seem to get it to be. Another issue that will arise is that the rows in the new sheet will probably be sorted and I question if the cell reference will follow the shape's new location.

I now have this code that inserts a picture and then resizes it the active cell shape.
Sub InsertPicture()
Dim myPicture As String
myPicture = Application.GetOpenFilename _
("Pictures (*.gif; *.jpg; *.bmp; *.tif),*.gif; *.jpg; *.bmp; *.tif", , "Select Picture to Import")
If myPicture "" Then
ActiveSheet.Pictures.Insert (myPicture)
ActiveSheet.Shapes(ActiveSheet.Shapes.Count).Select
With Selection
.ShapeRange.LockAspectRatio = msoFalse
.ShapeRange.Height = ActiveCell.RowHeight
.ShapeRange.Width = ActiveCell.Width
.Placement = xlMoveAndSize
End With
End If
End Sub

I need to select the row for the active cell without using an explicit RC address. I don't seem to be able to make the syntax work.

Using vba how do I tell a macro to select the row that the active cell is in?
I'm just using a basic delete Row macro but I'd like for the macro to automatically select the entire row when it's time to delete instead of me highlighting the section.

If statement, any way where I can, when I run the macro, choose active cell?
Ex.
Start macro
and it will ask for active cell,
check if active cell higher then 0
then set cell to color red
I have this atm:
Code:
Sub LookForValue()
' Declare Current as a worksheet object variable.
Dim Current As Worksheet
' Loop through all of the worksheets in the active workbook.
For Each Current In Worksheets
[Code] .........

I have a button on say, sheet1 with text that I want to change after a certain action takes place; however, I was trying to change this text without switching sheets. (switching sheets isn't a big deal, I'm mainly trying to do it my way for the practice). I'm able to select the button on the other sheet without actually switching sheets, but when it comes to changing it's text I get an error. Here is the code I tried:
Sub macro1 ()
Worksheets("sheet2").Select
Worksheets("sheet1").Shapes("Button 2").Select
Selection.Characters.Text = "Done"
End Sub
Problem with this is it gives cell A1 on sheet2 the "done" text. I also tried this...but it gives the error.
Sub macro1 ()
Worksheets("sheet2").Select
Worksheets("sheet1").Shapes("Button 1").Select
With Worksheets("sheet1").Shapes("Button 1")
.Characters.Text = "Done"
End With
End Sub

I want my code to evaluate each cell in column B, and based on its value, copy the row from D to X and paste on the newly activated worksheet. I'm trying to use Offset, but it's not working.

I'm trying to select a range of cells whereby the range is dependent on the currently active cell. I know you can use the "Activesheet.Range("A1:D2").select" method to select a range where the cells are always the same, but I'm after a dynamic selection where the values can be programmatically altered depending on some other result.
For example, let's say that I make a certain cell active (based on the result of some other formula), and I want to select the range of cells in the adjacent column that is X rows deep. Putting this into context, imagine the resultant active cell is B2, I then want to select the range C2:C10, but if the active cell is E10, the range selected would be F10:F18 (if active cell is X, then range would be Y:Z).
The Offset function would allow me to position the cell based on the current active one, but it doesn't let me select a range. The Range function only lets you choose either hard coded or index cells, e.g. "Range(cells(y,z), cells(y,z)).select", but this is still no good because I'd need to know the index value of the active cell (can this be done?).

A custom UserForm pops up when a cell is double-clicked. The form contains a ListBox that presents the user with a list of values to select. When the UserForm first pops up I want the item that matches the value of the activecell to be highlighted/selected.

I need a macro that will select row 15 in the active column. (basically returns to the top of the data where rows 1-14 are frozen in place, only in the current column).
I have been able to accomplish the opposite (skip to specific column while maintaining active row) by using the code below:
Range("V" & (ActiveCell.Row)).Select
But it does not work when I try the reverse:
Range((ActiveCell.Column) & "15").Select

I have the following code Range("M402").Select
This very simple code brings me to M402 everytime I click on the button.
However, I would like to stay in the same column that I am at the moment when I click the button, and go to row 402. (i.e. if I am in cell "Z56", I would like to be redirected to "Z402" when I click the button.

I have multiple excel workbooks open at the same time. I need to run a macro on one of them every 15 min but I need to return to the active window when the macro is done. How do I read what window is active then return to it when the macro is done?
Sub AutoSave()
dTime = Now + TimeValue("00:15:00")
Application .OnTime dTime, "AutoSave"
Windows("data.xlsm").Activate
Sheets("Data").Copy
Application.DisplayAlerts = False
ActiveWorkbook. SaveAs Filename:="c:excel" & Format(Time, "hhmmss"), FileFormat:=xlCSV
ActiveWorkbook.Close
Application.DisplayAlerts = True
Windows(1).ActivatePrevious

So for example if I have a1, a5, and a6 selected, I want to be able to select row 1, 6, and 7 in one action. Is there a hotkey for this, and if not what macro could I use?
ActiveCell.EntireRow.Select only gives me one row. I want to be able to select all of them at once.

whenever the active cell is within a given range, highlight the cell on the same row in column S (by changing its interior colour). This should occur each time the active cell is changed, whether by cursor keys or mouse. The effect would be similar to the row and column highlights at left and top of the worksheet.
This action should be restricted to one sheet in the workbook.
It's for Excel 2003.

I have got stuck on one piece of my code and having trouble fixing... Overall I am trying to find variable station name in cell L2 of Sheet 2 in Sheet 1 and then select and copy the data from the data in "cell L2 of Sheet 2" to the last entry of that row. I have attached an example test spreadsheet of the data and a macro is within Sheet 1 called test1. Please note that cell L2 in Sheet 2 will always be different station name and the station list in Sheet 1 will change with differing station name.
The code I am using is:
