Hi All,

Is there anyone who knows how to move shapes or objects in excel 2016 around a spreadsheet.

The vba code below works fine, the shape moves back & forth Left to Right with Red Off | Green On. But I can't figure out how to move the shape Up & Down and keeping the Red Off | Green On as the same.

Cell A1 if the value = 1 or nothing (cool way to switch the formula Off/On).

Code:
Sub ADOSwitch()
    
With Application
        .ScreenUpdating = False
        .EnableEvents = False
End With
    If Range("A1").Value = "1" Then
        
        ActiveSheet.Shapes("btnADO").IncrementLeft -47
        ActiveSheet.Shapes.Range(Array("btnADO")).Select
        Selection.ShapeRange(1).TextFrame2.TextRange.Characters.Text = "OFF"
            With Selection.ShapeRange.Fill
                .Visible = msoTrue
                .ForeColor.RGB = RGB(200, 0, 0)
                .Transparency = 0
                .Solid
                Range("A1").Select
        End With
    
    Range("A1").Value = "0"
    'MsgBox "off"
    Else: Range("A1").Value = "1"
    
        ActiveSheet.Shapes("btnADO").IncrementLeft 47
        ActiveSheet.Shapes.Range(Array("btnADO")).Select
        Selection.ShapeRange(1).TextFrame2.TextRange.Characters.Text = "ON"
            With Selection.ShapeRange.Fill
                .Visible = msoTrue
                .ForeColor.RGB = RGB(0, 176, 80)
                .Transparency = 0
                .Solid
                Range("A1").Select
            End With
    'MsgBox "on"
    End If
With Application
        .ScreenUpdating = True
        .EnableEvents = True
End With

End Sub

Whats the difference between CONCAT and CONCATENATE?
The newer CONCAT function can reference a range of cells. =CONCATENATE(A1,A2,A3,A4,A5) becomes =CONCAT(A1:A5)
ActiveSheet.Shapes("btnADO").IncrementTop 50

Thanks rpaulson I appreciate your help, so simple.

I had slightly changed the values for it to move up and down;

Code:
ActiveSheet.Shapes("btnADO").IncrementTop -45 '(= "OFF")
and
ActiveSheet.Shapes("btnADO").IncrementTop 45 '(= "ON")

Cheers :)
