Resizing Charts And Positioning Legend

May 4, 2007

I have made charts in VBA charts that needs to be placed on specific position and have specific sizes on a chartsheet. I use plotarea (top, left, width, height) for that. Unfortunately when I set these values they keep chaning, there is some scaling going on in Excel and they won't get the specified size. I have been looking on the internet and finally I found a piece of code which works, but still not good enough, because the legend is also not good positioned

De data for resizing the new charts (ChtNew), the legends and the charttitle I get from other charts (ChtOrig). The legend.legendposition of ChtOrig does not have a value but it still have a top,left,height en width which I use.

I show you my code, the part with the for-next is taken from the internet.
I am trying to find a solution now for 3 days and now I only dream of huge charts (which is not good). So please can someone help me with this? This is the last forum, that I can try, I didn't get reactions from others.


with ChtNew.legend
.Top = ChtOrig.Legend.Top
.Height = ChtOrig.Legend.Height
.Left = ChtOrig.Legend.Left
.Width = ChtOrig.Legend.Width '* 1.1
.Top = ChtOrig.Legend.Top + ChtOrig.ChartTitle.Top
end with

With ChtNew.Plotarea
.Top = ChtOrig.PlotArea.Top
.Height = ChtOrig.PlotArea.Height
.Width = ChtOrig.PlotArea.Width
.Left = ChtOrig.PlotArea.Left

For i = 1 To ChtOrig.PlotArea.Top........

List Box Positioning

Apr 10, 2009

I've got an Excel spreadsheet with quite a bit of code behind it (2007).
User can select a cell in Col A and push 'F2" and a ListBox pops up (becomes visible).
But if the User is on line 72 say, then the box is in the wrong position (and often becomes visible with diagonal lines across it!); that is I need to determine where the User is and set the ListBox position further down.

I tried to do this by calculating the offset based upon the row number they were on. This works really well, unless, the lines/records are varying heights.

Is there an easy way to do this ????? I have this feeling I must be missing something really simple about how this should work - I'm sure there must be a way that Excel has to handle this.

Positioning Shape Objects In VBA

Aug 22, 2006

I am trying to work out how to pisition a new object in some VBA code, I can do this if I copy an object then click on a cell, e.g. H74 then paste, but the properties for an object want this in points.

ActiveSheet.Shapes.AddShape(msoShapeOval, 50, 50, 26.25, 26.25).Select

What I want to do is select the cell H74, then find the coordinates for that cell then use these when creating the shape, I appreciate these coordinates will need to be assigned to variables, but how do you get then from a given cell?

Sizing And Positioning Of Shapes

Feb 14, 2007

I have a workbook where each name in a list has a picture of a flag of the country for that name. The flags are initially assigned to a cell with the country name (see sample attached). Later in the project the flag is copied to a cell in another sheet and assigned to the correct name in the list. The row heights in this list of names is larger than the row height of the sheet with list of countries.

The flags in the sample have been manually sized and positioned as accurately as possible. I am struggling with the VBA code to size and position each flag exactly so that there is a very small gap between the top, bottom and left of the flag and the cell border. Each is set to move and resize with cell.

Positioning Of Validation Input Message

Apr 2, 2009

is it posible to control the positioning of the pop-up data validation input messsage box via vba? As often it obscures the view of critical cells below.
You can manually click and drag it to a desired position manually. Mana users are not aware of that. It would be desirable to reposition it elsewhere rogramatically.

Positioning Input Validation Message Box

Jan 9, 2008

I am using data validation input messages for data entry tips/definitions. The data entry cells are grouped in small tables (about 5 rows X 6 columns) so when the user clicks on a cell, the data validation input message box pops up next to the active cell. This covers the adjacent cells which need to be completed as well.

If I drag the message box over to right of the input table, the messages for the other cells stay in the new location as well. However, Excel doesn't remember this location the next time the workbook is opened.

Is there a way to set the location of the message box or some other way to achieve the same objective of having text boxes pop up in a defined location when a cell is activated?

i try to change the chart position (chart properties) to make it auto- move to empty cells, but anyway i fail.

Copy Paste With Macros - Variable Positioning

Jul 12, 2007

Using a macro, how do I tell Excel to:

1. Copy the xth row and paste it before the yth row

2. Copy the mth column and paste it before the nth column

3. Copy the cell a,b and paste it in he position c,d
where x,y,m,n,a,b,c,d are variables, the value of which the user inputs, say in cells A1, A2, A3, A4, A5, A6, A7 and A8 respectively.

In other words, I need to read numbers m and n which are the values of cells A1 and A2, then I need to go to column number m (for instance, if m=4, I go to column D), copy the whole row, go to column number n (for instance, if m=6, I go to column F), and insert the copied column.

Also wondering if VBA provides any way to quickly horizontally and vertially flip copied tables while pasting. While I am aware of the transpose function which swaps rows with columns, I am looking for a way to reverse the order of either the rows or the columns as per my need, without having to copy-paste row-by-row or column-by-column.

Resizing Name Box

Jan 19, 2007

I can't find a way to re-size the name box (the one in the top left hand corner of a spreadsheet, to the left of the formula bar), or change the type size that this box uses.

I've looked through Excel help, but I can only find help on re-sizing toolbars and not the name box.

Resizing Range In VBA

However I am told by the vba editor that I need an = sign ? The function Last_Row_of_data tells me the number of rows that I have.

Range Name Resizing

The range is formatted as number.

Also ...

If I delete some cells in a range, referring formulae are modified accordingly, but if I add cells in the range the formulae do not recognize the change

Resizing Non-contiguous Range

Apr 8, 2008

Is it possible to re-size a non-contiguous range? I'm guessing "no", and a Google trawl hasn't provided me with anything.

Here's what I'm trying to do:

dim mult_rng as range
dim rng2 as range

set mult_rng = range("A1:B1,D1:E1")
set rng2 = mult_rng.resize(rowsize:=10)
That is, my original range is comprised of non-contiguous cells in the same row. When re-sizing, I'm trying to increase the number of rows, but leave the columns the same.

Like I said, my gut instinct says that this isn't possible using the 'resize' property. Can anyone think of another method to use? My constraints are that the original mult_rng isn't always the same (and isn't always non-contiguous).

VBA Code For Resizing Arrows To Specified Length?

Jun 7, 2013

I have created this Excel schedule that is attached. The point of the schedule is to organize Jobs and Crew members. I have VBA code in, so when I calculate how long the job should take, the arrows next to the job will automatically extend. (This should all make sense if you take a look at the attachment.) The only problem is that my arrows do not extend the correct distance. In the attached file I have scheduled "James Lorenz" to do a job starting on tuesday, towards the bottom of the page I did my calculation that figures he should be on that job for 9.5 days. I would like the Arrow next to James' job to extend 9.5 days on the calender instead of 9.5 centimeters or whatever it is doing now.

Auto Column Width Resizing

Feb 13, 2014

Lets say i type for now...
A1 = USA
B1 = Philippines

and then later
A1 = dog
B1 = cat

Is there a way that the width would automatically adjust even as I change the values of the given cells; meaning, if a word is long, the width will automatically adjust "longer", if a word is short, then it will automatically adjust "shorter".

I know how the "AutoFit Column Width" works but I don't want to press that every time my values change (words becoming shorter or longer).

Chart Sheets - Resizing And Exporting

Jun 3, 2006

I have a two-parter...

1) Is it possible to write a macro that will resize fonts in a chart (axes, text boxes) to specific sizes?

2) I usually copy chart sheets and paste them into Publisher but I have to resize them because they are huge when pasted. I would like to create a toolbar command that will take the selected chart sheet (not just a chart in a worksheet) and resize it and its components (part 1) to specific dimensions, then copy it as a picture so that I can simply go to Publisher and paste the chart after pressing said button in Excel.

Resizing A Form To Fit A Variable Number Of Checkboxes

Jun 7, 2006

create a form that will look at the spreadsheet and figure out which of the 32 possible checkboxes will be used and resize accordingly. I can make it so that only the checkboxes I want are visible using the .visible property, but for the sake of aesthetics I'm wondering if there is a way to disable the checkboxes I don't want and to resize the form to fit the checkboxes I do want. I just don't want a form that looks like it has checkboxes put on it at random spots.

Pivot Charts Versus Charts

Sep 5, 2012

I am trying to put some charts into a report that is pivot table based. I have some code that will work if the pivot tables stay stagnic but the users may change the tables around so that could be an issue of new data. I have the following code where I changed the source to the pivot table name (general name because of numberous report possibilites). I have taken out the other charts because they are just a variation of the chart 1. I am crashing on the line with the * on it.

Sub UWTierChart()
Dim oCell As Range
Dim oChart As Chart
Set ws_data = ActiveSheet
'Chart 1
Sheets(wsPT).Select
Range("B21").Select
