Hi All

I have a spreadsheet with multiple shapes

Based on a selection i make - i hide a picture and display the relevant picture

The problem im having is that the screen flickers before it displays the shape

I have tried Application.screenupdating to false, turned off the calculation through code, tried DoEvents, tried the windows API Sleep function but nothing seems to stop this behaviour

Am i doing something wrong?

Can you AutoAverage in Excel?
There is a drop-down next to the AutoSum symbol. Open the drop-down to choose AVERAGE, COUNT, MAX, or MIN
I don't believe it is a big. It is probably normal behavior for that graphic load.

Can you show the relevant part of the code so we can replicate it here ?
