Hi All,
I am wondering if it is at all possible to fill 2 shapes with a picture based on a cell value, using vba.
I am currently using vba to display images based on another cell value and this is working fine. This uses the
Code:
Private Sub WorkSheet_Change(ByVal Target As Range)
Dim MyPict As Picture
Dim PictureLoc As String
Dim MyPict1 As Picture
Dim PictureLoc1 As String
If Target.Address = Range("M4").Address Then
ActiveSheet.Pictures.Delete
PictureLoc = "C:\Users\Greg\Documents\DVD Covers\" & Range("M4").Value & ".jpg"
With Range("B4")
Set MyPict = ActiveSheet.Pictures.Insert(PictureLoc)
'.RowHeight = MyPict.Height
MyPict.Top = .Top
MyPict.Left = .Left
MyPict.Width = 400
MyPict.Height = 350
MyPict.Placement = xlMoveAndSize
End With
End If
End Sub

My shape is called "Header" and "Header1"
My Cell that this will look at is I7.. This cell contains a drop down list with the selections of either "Music" or "Movies"
If this cell changes then I want shape Header to change its background image. same for Shape1.

I hope I have explained this enough for everyone to understand.

Any help greatly appreciated.
 

Excel Facts

Move date out one month or year
Use =EDATE(A2,1) for one month later. Use EDATE(A2,12) for one year later.
Something like this will let the user entry in I7 determine which picture is used for a shape's fill.
This is for one picture. Similar code could handle the second shape.
Code:
Sub Macro1()
    Dim oneShape As Shape
    Dim picPath As String
    
    Select Case Sheet1.Range("i7").Value
        Case "a"
            picPath = "Macintosh HD:Users:michaelerickson:Desktop:temp:111_1000.jpg"
        Case "b"
            picPath = "Macintosh HD:Users:michaelerickson:Desktop:temp:517_160.jpg"
    End Select
    
    With ActiveSheet.Shapes(1)
        .Fill.UserPicture picPath
    End With
End Sub
