I did some Googling but didn't find a solution. I am attempting to center a shape on the screen. Here is what I have tried.

VBA Code:
With oShape

        .Name = psName
                
        '.Left = (ActiveWindow.VisibleRange.Width / 2) - .Width / 2
        
        '.Left = (Application.Width / 2) - (.Width / 2)
        
         '.Left = Application.Width / 2
        
        '.Top = (ActiveWindow.VisibleRange.Height / 2) - .Height / 2
        
        '.Top = (Application.Height / 2) - (.Height / 2)
        
        '.Top = Application.Height / 2

        .Width = 116
        
        .Height = 90
    
    End With
 

Excel Facts

Square and cube roots
The =SQRT(25) is a square root. For a cube root, use =125^(1/3). For a fourth root, use =625^(1/4).
A bit more Googling brought me to this which works

VBA Code:
With oShape

    .Left = ActiveWindow.VisibleRange(1).Left + (ActiveWindow.VisibleRange.Width / 2 - .Width / 2)

    .Top = ActiveWindow.VisibleRange(1).Top + (ActiveWindow.VisibleRange.Height / 2 - .Height / 2)

End With
