Hi all,

I've got a grouped shape that will move based on the cell value entered in cell A1.
Now I want this grouped shaped to always move 5 columns to the left.

So when I enter value M8 in cell A1 VBA should automatically move the grouped shape to H8 (at least that is the upper left corner of the grouped shape.)
I've tried using offset but I guess i'm using a wrong syntax. Can anyone help me out?

So far this is my code:

Public Sub Move_shape()

Dim oShape As Shape

Set oShape = ActiveSheet.Shapes("Group 7")

Dim oCell As Range

Set oCell = Range(Range("A1").Value)


'the value of Range("A1) will be a text saying which cell the shape will go to.


oShape.Top = oCell.Top
oShape.Left = oCell.Left


End Sub



Thanks Remco
 

Excel Facts

Why are there 1,048,576 rows in Excel?
The Excel team increased the size of the grid in 2007. There are 2^20 rows and 2^14 columns for a total of 17 billion cells.
How about ...

VBA Code:
Public Sub RemcoVBA()

    With ActiveSheet
        Dim oShape As Shape
        Set oShape = .Shapes("Group 7")
        Dim oCell As Range
        On Error Resume Next
        Set oCell = .Range(.Range("A1").Value).Offset(0, -5)
        On Error GoTo 0
    End With

    If Not oCell Is Nothing Then
        oShape.Top = oCell.Top
        oShape.Left = oCell.Left
    End If
End Sub
