I would like to replace 45 icons looping n = 1 to 45
using Worksheets("Print Label").Shapes.Range(Array("Icon " & n))
with another picture Worksheets("Print Label").Shapes.Range(Array("Choice"))

I tried using the macro recorder to copy the selected shape and then right-click on the shape to be pasted, selected change picture, and selected from clipboard. But none of that was captured by the recorder

Can anyone help?

TIA John

In my testing I named the picture that you want to use to replace all of the icons as "Source". Doing that, the code above, or this version with the For loop, work on this end.

Code:
Sub shps()
Dim ws As Worksheet: Set ws = Sheets("Print Label")
Dim rep As Object: Set rep = ws.DrawingObjects("Source")
Dim shp As Object


rep.Copy


For n = 1 To 45
    Set shp = ws.Shapes("Icon " & n)
    ws.Pictures.Paste.Select
    With Selection
        .Height = shp.Height
        .Width = shp.Width
        .Top = shp.Top
        .Left = shp.Left
    End With
    shp.Delete
Next n
End Sub

Excel Facts

Can you sort left to right?
To sort left-to-right, use the Sort dialog box. Click Options. Choose "Sort left to right"
Works great!

I made one little add after the line: shp.Delete
and renamed the created picture to the icon picture that was deleted, i.e: Selection.Name = "Icon " & n

Thanks for your help!
