Yeah. Like how Magnum p.i. says it...),
I have downloaded someone else's vsd file with a real big object on it.
I have ungrouped it, but all I got were a bunch of shapes, each of which appears to contain multiple geometries.
The one that I am looking at right now contains 33 geometries. The ungroup button is dimmed. Pressing ctrl + shift + U does not do anything further.
How do I break them down to where each geometry winds up being its own shape?
Why doesn't Stack Overflow let me start out the possting by saying, "Hi Guys,"?
Sad but truth...
No way, we cant ungroup merged shape!
Yes, you can delete some sections.

If I have multiple data points on a bubble graph. Is there any way to get a line drawn between data-point-pairs, with a text box?
- This will probably need some coding skill.
Here is a representation of what I am looking for, however the lines between data-point-pairs, with a text box was manually drawn.
Please help!
Line:
Right-click one of the data-points and "add trend-line" (linear). Right-click to format the trend-line and select arrows in begin/end arrow type
Text:
There a various ways of doing this, a simple solution: Go to Chart Tools->Format->Insert shape and type "= Cell with text+value to be displayed" in the formula bar when editing the text-box. People can join in as there may be a more sleek way of creating data-labels for a trend line.
Save it:
Right-click the chart and "Save as template" for future use.
It is tedious to extend the height and width of the class shape areas after added new fields or methods to the class representation.
Googling suggests ctrl-shft-y, / Arrange -> Autosize, but this does not appear to work as expected for "Class" shapes. (It works fine on a regular rectangle).
Has anyone found a good way to add extra fields without manual overhead?
Draw IO's class shape with new line not fitting once added
When text is written only in one line,
(when a new row is added)
try to select only that row (not the whole UML shape)
and go to Arrange > Autosize or press Ctrl+Shift+y
It should work well.
When the new row is added,
but the text is written in 2 or more lines,
please tick a "Formatted text" in Text tab (Format panel)
and then go to Arrange > Autosize or press Ctrl+Shift+y
It should increase the hight of the row.
If you have a problem with this,
please vote for a Trello feature card I opened here:
https://trello.com/c/NSIxt85Y/424-support-autosize-for-uml-when-new-row-is-added-with-multi-line-text-change-height-correctly
cause there is a possibility that this feature should be improved.
I didn't understand list shapes in Draw.io.
It's explained here https://desk.draw.io/support/solutions/articles/16000054082-adding-entries-in-uml-diagrams
Ctrl-Enter to 'add a new line' (clone a shape in the list) and enter to edit/rename that shape.
I programmed a reporting tool in VBA. It does structure some data and then puts together a report. The report only consists of shapes, pictures and charts, i.e. no information is stored in cells.
All elements are either already the report sheet or get positioned by using the .left and .top properties. In the end, the sheet gets exported as a pdf. It is a nice two pager, at least on my computer and a different one I have access to.
However, when a collegue tries to run the code on his computer (exact same Excel version), the output gets distorted. It does not fit on two pages anymore (in height) and some elements (charts and tables inserted as pictures) are not on the exact same positions where they should be.
It looks like the fixed elements that are already on the report sheet are compressed horizontally so that they get to high for the pages (the fit the page width in the output). All the other elements are put where they belong but do not fit the compressed page anymore. I cant show you the real thing, but I made one part of the report unreadable to show it to you. (And I have put red text and arrows to explain the issue)
I dont have access to the computer that produces the flawed output, only to the pdfs it produces.
I have no idea how to solve this problem, as the print area and page properties are defined in the workbook itslef, and should not change. Also .Top and .Left positions should be accurate everywhere.
Maybe somone has experienced something similiar and can give me hint. Thanks.
I'm using SSRS 2008 to export data to an excel file. I need 4 worksheets in the file. As a result, I'm inserting a page break after each Tablix. But when there's no data in the page,it's merging the sheet with the next one. I looked up for help, I found one where it says I need to insert a rectangle to avoid this. I'm not sure how I do this. Any help?
To add a rectangle On the Insert tab, in the Report Items group, click
Rectangle. On the design surface, click the location where you want
the upper left corner of the rectangle, and drag to where you want the
lower-right corner. Note that as you move the cursor, "snap lines"
appear as the cursor lines up with other objects on the design
surface. These help you if you want objects to be aligned.
Then I believe you set the page break to occur after the rectangle instead of after the tablix
I must work with nightmare Excel files. (I didn't create them, I just have to work with them).
They were so big (more than 50 big columns and 100 big rows) then I must scroll up/down and use "<" and ">" buttons to scroll left and right. When I scroll around, Excel always jumps to the next column or row. This make me crazy!
Can I develop a plugin or add-in to make Excel just scroll smoothly, like web browsers do? If so, please give me some resource or just some keyword to learn how to do it.
Another tip: when you click on Scroll lock on your keyboard, this will change the way your arrows keys will work.
Instead of moving from cell to cell, it will move the screen.
Yet, as Issun said, you cannot change Excel and AFAIK, you cannot "split" a cell when scrolling.
Furthermore, you can also change the number of rows that will scroll in the Windows Control Panel.
I'm sorry to tell you but the snapping to the top of a cell when you scroll is a design choice by Microsoft that you simply cannot get around while working within Excel. You can middle click your mouse to enable smooth preview zoom with the mouse, but once you click the program, it will snap back.
Instead of looking for a plug-in, you should look for a different program to run the .xls files to work on them. Perhaps even something as simple as opening the document in Google docs might allow you to scroll normally.
That being said, if you are having the problem of the cells being so big that when you scroll down it skips over some cells, assign either a command button or keyboard shortcut to this macro:
Sub DownOne()
ActiveWindow.SmallScroll Down:=1
End Sub
I have used this on several occasions due to Excel skipping cells because of their size. The reason is that the mouse "single scroll down" is by default set to Down:=3
You might be able to map this macro to a mouse wheel scroll event, but I believe you need to add a .dll to use that event (ref: http://support.microsoft.com/kb/837910)
Click down on scroll wheel (middle) of mouse (remember not turn, but click down). This will produce unique four way arrow. Now drag mouse up or down (or even sideways, left or right) and you will get slow smooth scroll.
Well, this is an extremely old thread, but I was having the same problem today.
Try going into your Mouse Settings in Control Panel and set your Wheel to Scroll 1 line at at a time.. I have some rows that are merged, and it was frustrating the hell out of me how quickly it would scroll past them. Turns out, I had my Wheel set to scroll 3 lines at a time (default I think).
Took me forever to figure it out (felt like an idiot once I did).
Note - You'll want to go back and set it back to 3 lines when you're done in Excel because it makes it painfully slow to scroll in your web browser.
Old thread I know, but I found a work around (if this is a repeat suggestion, sorry). Leave Column A alone, with "normal" sized cells. You can hide this column if you don't want to see it. Put all your contents in the remaining columns as you normally would and merge the content over several rows. Since column A is normal sized, you will get "smooth scrolling".
I had the same problem until I upgraded by office from 2014 to 2017. Now I have office 2017 [version 15.33 (170409)] and I can scroll by pixels using Mouse as well as Laptop trackpad. I am using MacOS Sierra version 10 operating system.
