I have a drop down list for a few cells within my Excel spreadsheet that has a few options. I was wondering if it were possible to show an image depending on which option was selected in the list. Ideally this image would show when you hover over it.
I have tried putting the image as a comment but comments are tied to the particular cell so you can't vary the image depending on the option shown.
Thanks.
I have figured it out. Here's the code below
If method = "Spaced" Then
Range("B29").Select
Range("B29").Comment.Visible = False
Range("B29").Comment.Text Text:="" & Chr(10) & ""
Range("B29").Select
ActiveCell.Comment.Visible = True
Range("B29").Comment.Shape.Select True
Selection.ShapeRange.Fill.Transparency = 0#
Selection.ShapeRange.Line.Weight = 0.75
Selection.ShapeRange.Line.DashStyle = msoLineSolid
Selection.ShapeRange.Line.Style = msoLineSingle
Selection.ShapeRange.Line.Transparency = 0#
Selection.ShapeRange.Line.Visible = msoTrue
Selection.ShapeRange.Line.ForeColor.RGB = RGB(0, 0, 0)
Selection.ShapeRange.Line.BackColor.RGB = RGB(255, 255, 255)
Selection.ShapeRange.Fill.Visible = msoTrue
Selection.ShapeRange.Fill.ForeColor.RGB = RGB(255, 255, 255)
Selection.ShapeRange.Fill.BackColor.RGB = RGB(255, 255, 225)
Selection.ShapeRange.Fill.UserPicture "C:\Users\SESA363648\Pictures\Demo.PNG"
Selection.ShapeRange.LockAspectRatio = msoFalse
Selection.Height = 60
Selection.Width = 35
Range("B29").Select
ActiveCell.Comment.Visible = False
End if
To show multiple pictures you just have different checks and for that specific case you have a different picture

I am using a macro to insert a chart into a spreadsheet:
Option Explicit
Sub Macro1()
Dim overskrifter As Range
Dim i As Long
Dim høgde As Long, breidde As Long
Call fjernkurver
i = 1
høgde = 240: breidde = 350
Set overskrifter = Oppsummering.Range("C5:L5")
With Kurver.Shapes.AddChart2(201, xlColumnClustered)
.Name = "Graf_" & i
With .Chart.SeriesCollection.NewSeries
.XValues = overskrifter
.Values = overskrifter.Offset(i, 0)
.Name = Oppsummering.Range("B5").Offset(i, 0)
' "Olive"
.Points(1).Format.Fill.ForeColor.RGB = RGB(128, 128, 0)
' "Dark khaki"
.Points(8).Format.Fill.ForeColor.RGB = RGB(189, 183, 107)
' Green (Atlantis)
.Points(9).Format.Fill.ForeColor.RGB = RGB(146, 208, 80)
With .Format.Line
.Visible = msoTrue
.Weight = 0.5
'.ForeColor.RGB = RGB(0, 0, 205)
.ForeColor.RGB = RGB(255, 0, 0)
.Transparency = 0
End With
End With
.Height = høgde
.Width = breidde
.Top = 5 + ((i - 1) \ 3) * (5 + høgde)
.Left = 5 + ((i - 1) Mod 3) * (5 + breidde)
.Chart.HasTitle = True
.Chart.ChartGroups(1).GapWidth = 150
.Chart.ChartGroups(1).Overlap = 0
End With
End Sub
Sub fjernkurver()
Dim co As ChartObject
For Each co In Kurver.ChartObjects
co.Delete
Next co
End Sub
For the most part it works fine, but I am having some issues with this part of the code:
With .Format.Line
.Visible = msoTrue
.Weight = 0.5
'.ForeColor.RGB = RGB(0, 0, 205)
.ForeColor.RGB = RGB(255, 0, 0)
.Transparency = 0
End With
It is supposed to add a border around all the bars in the graph, red with RGB(255,0,0), blue with RGB(0,0,255).
However, as far as I can tell, no border is added to any of the bars. Can someone please point out where I am going wrong here?
The chart ends up looking like this:
It appears that the .Format.Line property of a series applies to something else than the border of a bar chart - a guess would be that it is the line connecting the datapoints of e.g. a line or scatter chart.
To actually outline the bars, I replaced the offending code;
With .Format.Line
.Visible = msoTrue
.Weight = 0.5
.ForeColor.RGB = RGB(255, 0, 0)
.Transparency = 0
End With
with
.Border.LineStyle = xlContinuous
.Border.Color = 9851952
.Format.Line.Weight = 0.5
Please don't ask me why .Format.Line.Weight still applies to the border, at least I got it working. Big props to the people who'd written the thread where I found the answer on Ozgrid forums.
I try to set a border to a existing powerpoint table. It runs through fine (and the row and column number is inserted in each cell as test data), but the border just does not appear. What am I doing wrong?
For i = 1 To myPresentation.Slides(w).Shapes(tableName).Table.Rows.Count
For j = 1 To myPresentation.Slides(w).Shapes(tableName).Table.Columns.Count
myPresentation.Slides(w).Shapes(tableName).Table.Cell(i, j).Shape.TextFrame.TextRange.Text = "R:" & i & " C:" & j
With myPresentation.Slides(w).Shapes(tableName).Table.Cell(i, j)
.Borders(ppBorderTop).DashStyle = msoLineSolid
.Borders(ppBorderBottom).DashStyle = msoLineSolid
.Borders(ppBorderLeft).DashStyle = msoLineSolid
.Borders(ppBorderRight).DashStyle = msoLineSolid
.Borders(ppBorderTop).ForeColor.RGB = RGB(255, 110, 0)
.Borders(ppBorderBottom).ForeColor.RGB = RGB(255, 110, 0)
.Borders(ppBorderLeft).ForeColor.RGB = RGB(255, 110, 0)
.Borders(ppBorderRight).ForeColor.RGB = RGB(255, 110, 0)
.Borders(ppBorderBottom).Weight = 1
.Borders(ppBorderTop).Weight = 1
.Borders(ppBorderLeft).Weight = 1
.Borders(ppBorderRight).Weight = 1
.Borders(ppBorderBottom).Visible = msoTrue
.Borders(ppBorderTop).Visible = msoTrue
.Borders(ppBorderLeft).Visible = msoTrue
.Borders(ppBorderRight).Visible = msoTrue
End With
Next j
Next i
Create a single slide presentation and add only two tables on it. Then run this code:
Public Sub TestMe()
Dim myTable As Table
Dim sh As Shape
For Each sh In ActivePresentation.Slides(1).Shapes
Set myTable = sh.Table
myTable.Cell(1, 1).Borders(ppBorderTop).ForeColor.RGB = RGB(255, 110, 0)
Next sh
End Sub
It should work.
From there try to build a bit further.
I'm trying to generate area charts that comes out with green colors for values over a threshold, and red values for values under. I'm able to generate the charts, but my problem is that I don't get continuous graphs (they always come out with gap spaces between the different colored values, even if there is a number in the cell that represents the gap in the graph).
Sample code for the graphs:
Sub x_Graph()
'Define Chart
Dim c As Chart
Set c = ActiveWorkbook.Charts.Add
Set c = c.Location(Where:=xlLocationAsObject, Name:="RRL")
With c
.ChartType = xlArea
.HasTitle = True
.ChartTitle.Text = Sheets("Control Data").Range("C4").Value
End With
'Delete pre-defined series
Do Until ActiveChart.SeriesCollection.Count = 0
ActiveChart.SeriesCollection(1).Delete
Loop
With c
.SeriesCollection.NewSeries
.SeriesCollection(1).XValues = Sheets("PD").Range("AN$34:AY$34")
.SeriesCollection(1).Values = Sheets("PD").Range("AN$40:AY$40")
.SeriesCollection.NewSeries
.SeriesCollection(2).XValues = Sheets("PD").Range("AN$34:AY$34")
.SeriesCollection(2).Values = Sheets("PD").Range("AN$41:AY$41")
'Name series and format size
c.SeriesCollection(1).Name = "HU (days/month)"
c.SeriesCollection(2).Name = "LU (days/month)"
.Parent.Width = 700
.Parent.Height = 450
End With
c.SeriesCollection(1).Select
With Selection
.Format.Fill.ForeColor.RGB = RGB(0, 255, 0)
End With
c.SeriesCollection(2).Select
With Selection
.Format.Fill.ForeColor.RGB = RGB(255, 0, 0)
End With
'Format fonts
c.Legend.Select
With Selection.Format.TextFrame2.TextRange.Font
.BaselineOffset = 0
.Size = 14
.Name = "Arial"
End With
c.Axes(xlValue).Select
With Selection.TickLabels.Font
.Size = 14
.Name = "Arial"
End With
c.Axes(xlCategory).Select
With Selection.TickLabels.Font
.Size = 14
.Name = "Arial"
End With
End Sub
The graphs come out like this:
With a gap in between the red and green area, even if there's data in the cell.
The input data is in the following format:
The green is created from the "Good" series and the red is created from "Bad"
And background code:
etc
Anyone know what could be done?
Many thanks in advance

I have two columns were is information that I use in chart and it is changing according to what time range I choose. The main problem is that the columns length can be different, it can be 5 rows and when I choose another period of time it can be 7 rows or less then 5. The data in chart is refreshing, but the number of columns not, e.g. I have data like this:
Tom 20
Susan 30
John 15
So the chart would have three columns and their color is different according to the value in the first column, but when I choose another period of time data changes to:
Peter 40
Patrick 70
Joe 36
Megan 57
Susan 74
Now the chart will contain three columns with only the first three names: Peter, Patrick, Joe and the color of columns will be the same as in the first chart.
I hope it is easy to understand my problem, the main thing is that the visualization of the chart doesn't change as it's supposed to. I add a part of my code:
Sub Macro1()
Dim MyRangex As Range
Dim LastRow As Long
Dim ChartRange1 As Range
LastRow = Worksheets("Calculate").Cells(Rows.Count, "E").End(xlUp).row
Set MyRangex = Worksheets("Calculate").Range("E2:E" & LastRow)
Set ChartRange1 = Sheets("Calculate").Range("G2:G" & LastRow)
ActiveChart.SeriesCollection(1).Select
ActiveChart.SeriesCollection(1).XValues = MyRangex
ActiveChart.SeriesCollection(1).Values = ChartRange1
For i = 1 To Worksheets("Calculate").Cells(9, 10).value
ActiveChart.SeriesCollection(1).Points(i).Select
Select Case Worksheets("Calculate").Cells(i + 1, 5).value
Case Is = "Tom"
With Selection.Format.Fill
.Visible = msoTrue
.ForeColor.RGB = RGB(255, 0, 0)
.Transparency = 0
.Solid
End With
Case Is = "Susan"
With Selection.Format.Fill
.Visible = msoTrue
.ForeColor.RGB = RGB(0, 176, 240)
.Transparency = 0
.Solid
End With
Case Is = "Joe"
With Selection.Format.Fill
.Visible = msoTrue
.ForeColor.RGB = RGB(255, 255, 0)
.Transparency = 0
.Solid
End With
Case Is = "John"
With Selection.Format.Fill
.Visible = msoTrue
.ForeColor.RGB = RGB(191, 191, 191)
.Transparency = 0
.Solid
End With
End Select
Next i
End Sub
You should employ a Worksheet_Change event. It must reside in the worksheet module.
Private Sub Worksheet_Change(ByVal Target As Range)
If Not Intersect(Me.Range("C2"), Target) Is Nothing Then
MsgBox "data in C2 was changed"
End If
End Sub
The MsgBox in this example appears only when data in the cell C2 is changed. Depending on how you change your new period, this part should be changed.
No matter if you update your period manually or automatically, I am sure the code below will work for you. (Unless there are formulas under these names.)
Requirements for usage:
1. Place this code inside your worksheet module (not a regular module which appears after you record a macro).
2. Rename your chart to "MyChartName" OR replace this name in the code with your actual chart name.
Private Sub Worksheet_Change(ByVal Target As Range)
Dim MyRangex As Range
Dim LastRow As Long
Dim ChartRange1 As Range
Dim i As Long
Dim mySeries As Series
If Not Intersect(Me.Range("E2:E100"), Target) Is Nothing Then
LastRow = Worksheets("Calculate").Cells(Rows.Count, "E").End(xlUp).Row
Set MyRangex = Worksheets("Calculate").Range("E2:E" & LastRow)
Set ChartRange1 = Sheets("Calculate").Range("G2:G" & LastRow)
Set mySeries = ActiveSheet.ChartObjects("MyChartName").Chart.SeriesCollection(1)
mySeries.XValues = MyRangex
mySeries.Values = ChartRange1
For i = 1 To Worksheets("Calculate").Cells(9, 10).Value
With mySeries.Points(i).Format.Fill
Select Case Worksheets("Calculate").Cells(i + 1, 5).Value
Case Is = "Tom"
.Visible = msoTrue
.ForeColor.RGB = RGB(255, 0, 0)
.Transparency = 0
.Solid
Case Is = "Susan"
.Visible = msoTrue
.ForeColor.RGB = RGB(0, 176, 240)
.Transparency = 0
.Solid
Case Is = "Joe"
.Visible = msoTrue
.ForeColor.RGB = RGB(255, 255, 0)
.Transparency = 0
.Solid
Case Is = "John"
.Visible = msoTrue
.ForeColor.RGB = RGB(191, 191, 191)
.Transparency = 0
.Solid
End Select
End With
Next
End If
End Sub
I have been working on a macro for the past week to automatically create charts in excel. I have gotten pretty far along with it (thanks in large part to help from this website and its users), but I am stuck on a seemingly insignificant step. For some reason my line with markers graph shows up with discolorations in it. What I mean by this is that the middle fill of the marker is the standard blue that excel defaults to. I think the issue lies with the [ .Visible = msoTrue] line but no matter how I manipulate the code, I cannot make my markers one solid color.
The code is below
Sub DM1R_Graph()
Dim ws As Worksheet
For Each ws In Sheets
ws.Activate
If ws.Name <> "WSNs" Then
Dim sht As Worksheet
Dim xVals As Range, yVals As Range

Below is a picture showing what I mean. You can see it obviously in the red series, but it also appears in the green and blue series as well.
I believe you need to set the MarkerBackgroundColor on the series.
s.MarkerBackgroundColor = RGB(255, 0, 0)
