VBA Line and intersect

Hi

Looking to see how I could utilise VBA code to draw a vertical line from a defined range (say cell B1=0, B2=1000) then horizontally intersect the vertical line down the page, to scale, from a value in another cell.

For example, the vertical line would cover cells A1-A20, with A1 value =0 and A20 Value = 1000 obtained from B1 and B2. The value in cell C1 could be any value from 0-1000 but for the example say 500. The VBA code would then place a horizontal line intersection at the half way point with a label of the horizontal line.

Thanks.

Links? Where??
If Excel says you have links but you can't find them, go to Formulas, Name Manager. Look for old links to dead workbooks & delete.
Hi DanteAmor.

Any tips on scaling the text box based on the interesect above?

i.e if the first intersect is 0-300, and the second is 300-1000.

I have been trying using a number of things, but only having luck setting a fixed scaleheight, which wouldnt suit when changing the first interesect on another attempt if lines deleted.

Thanks.

Hi DanteAmor.

Code:
Set wL = ActiveSheet.Shapes.AddTextbox(msoTextOrientationHorizontal, x1 + 3, [COLOR=#ff0000]y1[/COLOR] + 3, 290, alto)


In that line the beginning of the figure is established on y1
The start is equal to cell1 and cell1 is equal to the top of the first cell found.
In this case it must be 300

Hi All

Having trouble changing a function to lookup rather than match.

In column AA i have

A1=0
A2=100
A3=200

In cells "AJ1" and "C3" are values for example 100 and 200

The following is used to draw an object/line by matching values in AJ1 or C3 to the exact value in column A to begin to create the line

Set c1 = Range("A:A").Find(Range("AJ1").Value, LookIn:=xlValues, lookat:=xlWhole)
Set c2 = Range("A:A").Find(Range("C3").Value, LookIn:=xlValues, lookat:=xlWhole)

I am trying to change the set c1 and set c2 to lookup a value rather than match. For example if C3 was 150, the line would begin between the values 100 and 200 in column AA

I have been playing with a lookup function with no luck.

Thanks!
