VBA Macro To Move Shape Around Spreadsheet

Dec 16, 2009

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
'''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''

How To Move A Pasted Shape

Mar 2, 2013

I Have several images on Sheet 1, I can copy the needed Images to sheet 2 as needed.

Once the image is pasted to sheet2 how do I assign it to a shape variable so that I can position it as desired.

I do not want to have to use Sheet2.(Range("B2").activate or similar

I'm looking to use

Shp.top = 25
Shp.left =15

Code:

Sub Macro1()
Dim Shp As Shape
Sheet1.Shapes("Picture 1").Copy
Sheet2.Paste

'To set the shape variable to the shape on sheet2

Set Shp = "WHAT GOES HERE"
Shp.Top = 25
Shp.Left = 15
End Sub

Move Shape Across Screen

Dec 24, 2007

I'm trying to write some VB to draw a line shape and then move it across the screen. I have managed to draw the line and have used the following code to move it:

Set linetest = ActiveSheet.Shapes(1)
For iCount=1 To 100
linetest.Left = linetest.Left + 1
linetest.Top = linetest.Top + 1
Next

i) I can only actually see the line move if I run the code using the debugger and step through the loop. If I just run the code then I only see the end position of the line (note, this is not an issue with the calculation being too fast for Excel to display the line. I tried the code with a delay loop in it and it made no difference). I can get it to work by calculating the active sheet for each iteration of the loop, but this means I have no control over the speed of the movement; incidentally it moves very slowly).

ii) This seems a poor way to move the line. Is there anyway to move the start and end node of the line rather than using the left, top, width and height properties (i.e. can I get the old coordinates of the points and set them to different numbers)?

Move A Shape In A Straight Line Between 2 Cells

Sep 24, 2008

if I wanted to slowly move a shape (small circle) in a straight line between cells R20 & W7.

The straightest line possible is by drawing an arrow line between the 2 cells.

Is there a way to then use this arrow as a guide for moving the shape?

In other words, would it make sense for the porgram to draw a transparent line between the cells, and use that line as a "path" along which to move the shape?

I just don't know if this is worth the trouble.

Move Spreadsheet To End Of Workbook

Jun 4, 2009

I m moving a spreadsheet to the end of a workbook, however the amount of spreadsheets in the workbook increase each day.

Two files will be involved in this macro. 1) Headset Out Time and 2) Headset Out Time "Month". Where month is the current month.

Command Button 2 located on the file Headset Out Time will execute the macro. The macro will open Headset Out Time "Month" then move the first spreadsheet (different name on a daily basis), from Headset Out Time to the end of the workbook Headset Out Time "Month". Then it will reset the spreadsheet (this part i can handle)

Move Specific Data To Another Spreadsheet In The Same Workbook

Jul 5, 2007

What I want to know: Is is possible to have information from one spreadsheet move specific data to another spreadsheet in the same workbook?

for example: I have hundreds of listings of tool measurements.

Date Tool type Measurements


What I want to do is have all the different types of tools and the information from the above line seperated into other spreadsheets. I do not want to sort this information and manually move it I want a formula that will move each applicable tool into that sub sheet. I have tried to use if statements but find that it creates subsheets with the correct tool types but has the spaces in between the parts. how do I eliminate the spaces?

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 To Add Formatting To Shape Creation Macro

Aug 7, 2013

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!

Run Macro After Leaving Shape Editing Mode?

May 14, 2014

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?

Locate A Shape Within A Shape

Jan 24, 2014

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.

Is there a code which will enable me to say " if unable to refresh then move on to the next line"?

here's the code below.

Macro Fixes Macro: Copies Tabs From The Spreadsheet

Jun 26, 2007

I am working on a macro that copies tabs from the spreadsheet the macro (button) is located in, creates a new book for them, and then pastes values so that no formulas still exist. The problem I am having is with named ranges. The named ranges do not reference the new sheet, but rather the old spreadsheet. This is fine because the new file is solely for presentation, however, one macro (which selects print ranges based on user selected checkboxes) tries to reference the old spreadsheet once it runs. I would like the macro that I currently have working, to also make this macro in the NEW spreadsheet so that it can still highlight the correct print area when used. The macro does not reference the name of the workbook at any point, it is purely "Range("ai10") type references so I don't understand why it is trying to open the old sheet back up.

Using Macro To Move A Cell

Dec 19, 2013

I've been using the record macro function to accomplish a lot of my formatting tasks for my work reports.

I'm running into a snag that I'm not sure how to fix. Essentially I want the program to recognized the term "Grand Total" and the cell to the right of it. Then I want those two cells to be moved to the far left.

The # of rows will continuously change but he column shouldn't change.

I've tried naming the cell selection to have it moved but I can't seem to make it work.

When I use the record macro function and do a CTRL F search for "grand total", excel doesn't seem to recognize that I want that cell and the cell to the right to be the ones to move. Instead, whatever row of cells I create the macro with, it wants to duplicate the move with the same exact cell.
