Hover over different parts of image

[jay2kidd]

Hi Everyone,

I've signed up on the site as I cant figure out how to do this for the life of me. I'm trying to accomplish some sort of a heat map in excel where the values change depending on where the you hover in the map.

For example, using the image below. If i hover over number 1 it will populate data for that container on the right, and will change if i hover over 2,3,4 etc.

Also, am planning on populating the data for each container in another sheet.

Is this possible?

This should point you in the right direction.

Create a new workbook - Add 2 Active X Labels (Important to make sure its the Active X Controls)

Go into the code for the worksheet that you have these 2 labels on and add this code. Once you do, now as you move your mouse over each label it will change the value in C12. Adjust to meet your need, you could also use on click vs mouse move. I would envision you making the labels invisible and laying them over your image in the proper place and then as you move the mouse over the various locations it will change the values on the table to the right.

Private Sub Label1_MouseMove(ByVal Button As Integer, ByVal Shift As Integer, ByVal X As Single, ByVal Y As Single)
    
    Range("C12").Value = "1250"
    
End Sub


Private Sub Label2_MouseMove(ByVal Button As Integer, ByVal Shift As Integer, ByVal X As Single, ByVal Y As Single)
    
    Range("C12").Value = "1500"
    
End Sub

I would love to know how you post pictures in this forum, I couldnt figure that out.
