Hi,
I currently have the code below placed into a wksheet that changes the size of an arrow when the value (from a formula) in cell B13 automatically changes.
I would like to be in control of when to execute this routine using a command button / macro at any time that will simply just change the arrow size based on B13's value.
What would the code be to achieve this? many thanks.

Private Sub Worksheet_Calculate()
If Range("B13").Value > 0 Then
Shapes("YourselfArrow").Height = Range("B13").Value
End If
End Sub

What did Pito Salas invent?
Pito Salas, working for Lotus, popularized what would become to be pivot tables. It was released as Lotus Improv in 1989.
Put this part of the code into a separate macro and then attach that macro to a button on the sheet:
Code:
If Range("B13").Value > 0 Then
   Shapes("YourselfArrow").Height = Range("B13").Value
End If

Hi,
I tried that and it gave me an error as follows:
'Sub or Function not defined' with the word 'Shapes' highlighted

Try:
Rich (BB code):
If Range("B13").Value > 0 Then
   ActiveSheet.Shapes("YourselfArrow").Height = Range("B13").Value
End If
