Hello!

I'm using a shape to contain a delete function for a particular row of data. Since there are multiple delete shapes cooresponding to different rows, I need to use the activated shape's position data to determine which row needs to be deleted.

I can't figure out how to call the shape that has initiated the macro. Any ideas?

Thanks!

Press F7 to start spell check in Excel. Be careful, by default, Excel does not check Capitalized Werds (whoops)
Application.Caller will return the name of the object that called the macro.

This will reference the Shape object that called the macro.

ActiveSheet.Shapes(Application.Caller)
