Make Object(s) Visible
How would I make an object visible/invisible depending on the contents of a
cell (for instance, making a block arrow visible when the number in a cell drops below a certain level). |

Make Object(s) Visible
Here is an example using a previously inserted Picture. Install the
following event macro in the worksheet code area: Private Sub Worksheet_Calculate() If Range("A1").Value 5 Then ActiveSheet.Pictures(1).Visible = True Else ActiveSheet.Pictures(1).Visible = False End If End Sub The picture becomes visible if the value in A1 falls below 5. Because it is worksheet code, it is very easy to install and use: 1. right-click the tab name near the bottom of the window 2. select View Code - this brings up a VBE window 3. paste the stuff in and close the VBE window If you save the workbook, the macro will be saved with it. To remove the macro: 1. bring up the VBE windows as above 2. clear the code out 3. close the VBE window To learn more about macros in general, see: http://www.mvps.org/dmcritchie/excel/getstarted.htm To learn more about Event Macros (worksheet code), see: http://www.mvps.org/dmcritchie/excel/event.htm -- Gary''s Student - gsnu200853 "Dennis" wrote: How would I make an object visible/invisible depending on the contents of a cell (for instance, making a block arrow visible when the number in a cell drops below a certain level). |

Make Object(s) Visible
If you have Excel 2007 you could use Icon Sets in Conditional formatting.
Elsewise you would need VBA event code to hide/unhide the object. Example code............. With Me.Range("D4") Select Case .Value Case Is 10: Me.Shapes("UP1").Visible = msoCTrue Case Is 10: Me.Shapes("DN1").Visible = msoCTrue End Select End With If you wish I could send you a workbook with a complete set of code which changes arrow object directions depending upon cell values. email me at gorddibbATshawDOTca.................make appropriate changes to address Gord Dibben MS Excel MVP On Tue, 19 May 2009 09:24:01 -0700, Dennis wrote: How would I make an object visible/invisible depending on the contents of a cell (for instance, making a block arrow visible when the number in a cell drops below a certain level). |
