Dynamically move linked pictures, to avoid overlaps / blank gaps between them

Hey everyone,

I was hoping someone could help with some ideas. I have an Excel report with multiple linked pictures, one after another in a vertical layout. Each of these linked pictures points to a named range, and each of these named ranges points to a specific pivot table. Some of these pivot tables row count (and therefore height) changes, depending on the filter value I select in a slicer that is connected to both pivot tables; however, in my final report, I need the linked pictures that reference these pivot tables to be exactly one below the other, with no overlaps, but no blank gaps between them. This has to update everytime I change my slicer value.

The problem right now is that everytime I select a new value in the slicer, if the linked picture at the top grows in height, it overlaps with the linked picture below; and viceversa, if the linked picture at the top shrinks in height, there is a huge white space between that picture and the linked picture below.

Is there a way to automate the behaviour I am looking for? Any help would be greatly appreciated!

Select all contiguous cells
Pressing Ctrl+* (asterisk) will select the "current region" - all contiguous cells in all directions.
Is this what you want

If it is, amend this code to suit your needs
VBA Code:
Sub LoopPics()
    Dim shp As Shape, cel As Range
    For Each shp In ActiveSheet.Shapes
        Set cel = shp.TopLeftCell
        If cel.Column = 2 Then
            With shp
                .Left = cel.Left
                .Top = cel.Top
                .Height = cel.Height
            End With
        End If
    Next
End Sub
