I have two Textboxes created from the drawing toolbar, named "FlowChart1", "FlowChart2". Below is a simple macro I recorded and modified which connects these two textboxes.
Sub FlowChartConnection()
ActiveSheet.Shapes.Range( Array("FlowChart1", "FlowChart2")).Select
ActiveSheet.Shapes.AddConnector(msoConnectorCurve, 149.25, 146.25, 159.75, _
257.25).Select
Selection.ShapeRange.ConnectorFormat.BeginConnect ActiveSheet.Shapes( _
"FlowChart1"), 3
Selection.ShapeRange.ConnectorFormat.EndConnect ActiveSheet.Shapes("FlowChart2" _
), 1
End Sub
Although it works fine... A problem I am having is that I am working with multiple (duplicated) flowcharts. Currently, the connection is based on the name of the objects. If I duplicate both textboxes and run the macro, the connection will connect to the first set of ( already connected) textboxes.
Q. Is it possible to form a connection based on active selection rather than the name of the objects? ie: if any two textboxes are selected.. connect these two objects.
How to turn off or default the warning box message ...
"Data on the Clipboard is not the same size and shape as the selected area. Do you want to paste the data anyway"
I hate having to click yes on this every time I paste something. I do it hundreds of times a day.
My tables is centered and merged because my external date changes sizes each time I paste to the table.
I have looked all over to try and find an "OFF" warning/message button for this. I just want to know how to turn it off or default it to never pop up again!
I am trying to write a simple macro that would start a timer (in hh:mm:ss format) when the cell is selected. In other words, if I have the following:
Row Col B Col C 1 00:00:00 (form btn) 2 00:00:00 (form btn) 3 00:00:00 (form btn)
I would like to select B1 to start a timer and C1 (button) to stop the timer for that row.
I was given code from another IT guy but the problem with this code is that I have to write multiple macros by just switching out the cell number (in this example = [C4] )
I would like to have the macro use the selected cell as input parameter in the line that reads Set count = [C4].
Dim CD As Date Sub RunTime() CD = Now + TimeValue("00:00:01") Application.OnTime CD, "Counter" End Sub
I need some assistance taking dates entered in a userform and applying them to the sheet 'Completed_Report' cells Q1 and R1. The userform code that stores the input values is:
On the attached spreadsheet there is two irregular shapes. "Area1" & "Area2". I need to be able to determine which area the "ball" shape is located in. If the ball is in Area1 then "Multiply 8" gets the ball and "Multiply 9" moves to the blue cell "AH39". If the ball is in "AreaB" Multiply 9 gets the ball and "Multiply 8" runs to cell "S37"
I should be able to do the moving of the shapes using all the samples, its determining which area the ball is in is the problem.
In the real spreadsheet i will probably have around 10 different Areas.
I am using this code to hide or unhide rows of text on another sheet:
VB: Sub ProcessSheet1ChangeOnCellJ7(ByVal Target As Range)
Dim sAddress As String Dim sValue As String
'Get the address of the cell that changed without '$' signs sAddress = Target.Address(False, False)
[Code]....
When the "Not Pursuing" list box option is selected (in cell "J7" or "J8" in Sheet 1) I need to add (or over-write) "Not Pursuing" to the range of cells in column "B" (in the "Tasks" sheet), but only for that particular Goal, meaning a limited range of cells in column "B". If the "Pursuing - Show All Tasks" option is selected for a Goal then these same cells need to be blank so that the appropriate person can enter their name into the cell.
The purpose for adding "Not Pursuing" automatically to these yellow highlighted cells is that it will facilitate filtering of tasks by individual in the "Tasks" sheet..
Again I have tried several times to upload a sample file and am unable to, which I know makes it more difficult to solve. (Is there some common mistake people make? I know it's an allowed format and is very small in file size....)
Code solution can be entered directly beneath:
VB: If Target.Value = "Not Pursuing" Then ActiveWorkbook.Sheets("Tasks").Rows("29:29").EntireRow.Hidden = False ActiveWorkbook.Sheets("Tasks").Rows("30:48").EntireRow.Hidden = True
I have D4=0.42. I thought this formula =IF(D4<0.38,"Thin",IF(0.38<D4<=0.48,"Good shape","Bad shape")) was supposed to give me "Thin" for D4<0.38, "Good shape" for 0.38<D4<=0.48 and "Bad shape" for the contrary, but it only gives me "Bad shape" when D4 is clearly between 0.38 and 0.48.
Basically it is a if statement saying that if the selected cell falls between 1/01/06 and 31/01/06 then Jan would be selected. The end part is not a problem; I’m just not sure how to write the one line of code that would test if the cell falls between the two dates. I attemped to create it as shown in the code attached below but wasn't successful. I used an else if statement to test the other 11 months.
Sub test() Dim SelectDate As Range Set SelectDate = Range("SelectedDate") If selectedDate >= 1 / 1 / 2006 And selectedDate <= 31 / 1 / 2006 Then ActiveSheet. PivotTables("PivotTable1").PivotFields("PnLDate").CurrentPage = _ "Jan" ElseIf selectedDate >= 1 / 2 / 2006 And selectedDate <= 28 / 2 / 2006 Then
I have a shape in Excel called Canada. I grouped it with another shape and want this new grouping to be called Canada. But when I enter Canada in the shape name entry box, it doesn't actually change it (as it thinks I am referring to the existing Canada).
I need something like Names manager, but for shapes, not ranges.
Is there any way that I can get the name of the shape i just clicked to call a procedure?
I have 35 shapes in my Worksheet. Each shape has a different name. Each shape has a macro procedure assigned, wich do almost the same procedure (with just small differences, depending on from wich shape the macro was called).
I want to make just one macro procedure and catch from wich shape the macro was called.
How do i Keep shape where it is no matter if i scroll up or down.
Sub KeepshapeStatic() Dim ws As Worksheet Dim shp As Shape Set ws = Sheets("Sheet1") Set shp = ws.Shapes("MyShape") 'How do i Keep shape where it is no matter if i scroll up or down End Sub
I want to create a shape connecting them and place that shape on a userform. I can create the area without any problems on a worksheet using ActiveSheet.Shapes.BuildFreeform but I don't know how to get it onto my userform.
I have looked through previous posts on similar topics and seen responses that it's as easy as copying the shape from the worksheet and pasting it into an image or frame on the userform. I can copy the shape to the clipboard without any problem. However, when I try to paste it onto an image or frame in a userform I get a message saying that the object doesn't support the use of paste. I've tried using both Selection.Copy and Selection.CopyPicture xlScreen, xlBitmap thinking it might treat a bitmap differently. When I paste I'm trying both UserForm1.Frame1.Picture.Paste and UserForm1.Image1.Picture.Paste but neither work, even though I have blank images and frames with those names on my form.
I have put a rectangle shape in a cell in excel. The shape is within the border of a particular cell.
Is there a way to find the reference of the cell on which that particular shape resides.
For example, I have kept a rectangle shape in cell F5. I was looking for a macro which would return the cell reference "F5" in which the shape resides.
Have an .xls file with multiple sheets and many objects (Shapes) on of those sheets. The objects are all rectangles, some of which contain text frames, where I had entered manually some text.
Also, each shape has a name.
Now, I want my VBA Macro to take a specific shape (using its name), and find out if it has text frame in it.
I have a macro which hides rows in excel. The lines that I am hiding have a "Rounded Rectangle" shape inserted with a hyperlink. I want the shapes to be hidden as well when I hide the rows. However, when hiding the rows, the shapes persist. Is there a way to hide the shapes as well?
I am hiding the rows via the following vba code...
If Range("CurrentVersion").Value = "1" Then Rows("20:25").EntireRow.Hidden = True Else Rows("20:25").EntireRow.Hidden = False End If
I am trying to get an inputbox name a shape within my workbook. This is what I have so far and i am getting a Run-time error ("The specific value is out of range") on the part in red.
I have many spreadsheets that use shapes such as arrows and other symbols. The process for these spreadsheets is to move the shape (arrow for Ex) to indicate a specific location of pain or something like that.
Once the arrow is in position, the spreadsheet is printed to PDF and and a snapshot (in adobe) is "taken" and the picture (with the arrow) is pasted into our application.
My questions is how can I move the shapes back into position when you want to do it all over again.
When I have a few shapes I use
PHP Code:
Set sShape = ActiveSheet.Shapes("Right Arrow 6") 2     With sShape        .Top = 220        .Left = 91        .Rotation = 20    End WithÂ
For each shape
But if I have lots of shapes, 50+, it's a bit more cumbersome.
Can I loop through the shapes when I enable the macros to pick up the current positions and use that information when I do a reset (loop back again to move any shape that were touched back to where it was when the spreadsheet was opened?
Currently I have them close the spreadsheet without saving and just reopen.
