Hi there,
I would like an arrow to show if cell H107 does not equal zero.
I'm not even sure if I'm going in the right direction with this VBA code. Can anyone help please?

Private Sub Worksheet_Change(ByVal Target As Range)
If Range("h107") = 0 Then
ActiveSheet.Shapes.Range(Array("Arrow")).Select
Selection.ShapeRange.LineColour.RGB = RGB(0, 0, 0)
End Sub

I was thinking I could have the arrow black if cell H107 does not equal 0 and white (so it can't be seen) if it does equal 0.

Thank you!
 

Excel Facts

Remove leading & trailing spaces
Save as CSV to remove all leading and trailing spaces. It is faster than using TRIM().
Why not use this:
Set the color of the shape to the color you want.
Then we show or hide the shape.
Now this cell change must be done manually and not the result of a formula change.

Code:
Private Sub Worksheet_Change(ByVal Target As Range)
'Modified  8/9/2018  12:42:11 AM  EDT
If Range("h107") <> 0 Then
ActiveSheet.Shapes.Range(Array("Arrow")).Visible = True
Else
ActiveSheet.Shapes.Range(Array("Arrow")).Visible = False
End If
End Sub

Puts an arrow in the cell to the right of the cell that changes.
Code:
Private Sub Worksheet_Change(ByVal Target As Range)
If Not Intersect(Target, Range("H107")) Is Nothing Then
    If Range("H107").Value > 0 Then
        With Range("I107")
            .Font.Name = "Calibri"    '<---- or whichever is your standard font
            .Value = ""
        End With
    Else
        With Range("I107")
            .Font.Name = "Wingdings 3"
            .Value = "a"    '<---- or a host of other Wingdings 3 possibilities
        End With

    End If
End If
End Sub

Wingdings 3 possible cell values: Z, a, b, c etc up to m or 3, 4, 5 or 6.

Thank you Jolivanes! That is an interesting code. In this instance I need a real BIG arrow but I think I'll save your code for use somewhere else in the spreadsheet.
Thanks again! :)
