Excel VBA - Copy pictures from on sheet to another in specified location - excel

I'be built a code for a calendar-type plan with textboxes and pictures. I've managed to make a code so the shapes are all placed on the right spot. However, I'm struggling to copy some pictures from one sheet to another.

As you can see I'm very new to coding... Anyway, what I'm trying to do is to copy a pic named after "w" and paste it to the right side of the added Textbox (within the box - I guess the location would be textbox.left + textbox.width - pic.width but it doesn't work). I've tried recording it but it doesn't work for me. Any ideas?
*Edit - I updated the with the code I use for that task and the error I get. The location is wrong as well - they go outside the textbox...
I also struggle to understand how to change the fillcolor.RGB of the shape dynamically. I made it work with "if" statement but looks ugly. Any ideas how to sort the code there? Why .ForeColor.RGB = "rgb" & p not working?
Thanks in advance

I found the problem.
On the initial code, the name of the picture I was copying was not changing, hence not unique on the Sheet. So, when I was tying to move the Shape("example"), I was moving all with the same name.
Anyway, code updated with name change variable!

Formatting a Shape (Command button) using VBA

I am simply trying to create a rectangle shape in a specific worksheet, formatting it & assign a macro to it using VBA.
Here goes my attempt :
Set t = wsJTO.Range("H" & 5 & ":G" & 6)
Set btn = wsJTO.Shapes.AddShape(msoShapeRectangle, t.Left, t.Top, t.Width, t.Height)
With btn.ShapeRange.Fill
.Visible = msoTrue
.ForeColor.RGB = RGB(146, 208, 80)
.Transparency = 0
.Solid
End With
With btn.ShapeRange.ThreeD
.BevelTopType = msoBevelArtDeco
.BevelTopInset = 9
.BevelTopDepth = 6
End With
btn.OnAction = "Module2.Selection_JTO"
According to the debugger, there is an error with the third line & I don't seem to understand what's wrong with it. Help would be appreciated
Silly me ... All I had to do was get rid of "ShapeRange" since it doesn't have a fill property. The following code does the job if it might serve someone in the future :
Set t = wsJTO.Range("H" & 5 & ":G" & 6)
Set btn = wsJTO.Shapes.AddShape(msoShapeRectangle, t.Left, t.Top, t.Width, t.Height)
With btn.Fill
.Visible = msoTrue
.ForeColor.RGB = RGB(146, 208, 80)
.Transparency = 0
.Solid
End With
With btn.ThreeD
.BevelTopType = msoBevelArtDeco
.BevelTopInset = 9
.BevelTopDepth = 6
End With
btn.OnAction = "Module2.Selection_JTO"

Add a textbox below node in diagrams VBA Excel

Hi i am making a organisational hierarchy chart and i want to have a textbox below each nodes. What i did until now was to retrieve the data and plot out the hierarchy. But how do i add textbox under them? I have to add 2 textboxes below each nodes. Any help will be appreciated!
Code:
Option Explicit
Sub OrgChart()
Dim ogSALayout As SmartArtLayout
Dim QNodes As SmartArtNodes
Dim QNode As SmartArtNode
Dim ogShp As Shape
Dim shp As Shape
Dim t As Long
Dim i As Long
Dim r As Long
For Each shp In ActiveSheet.Shapes
If shp.Type = msoSmartArt Then: shp.Delete
Next shp
Set ogSALayout = Application.SmartArtLayouts( _
"urn:microsoft.com/office/officeart/2009/3/layout/HorizontalOrganizationChart" _
)
Set ogShp = ActiveSheet.Shapes.AddSmartArt(ogSALayout, 630, 36, 1000, 1000)
Set QNodes = ogShp.SmartArt.AllNodes
t = QNodes.Count
For i = 2 To t: ogShp.SmartArt.Nodes(1).Delete: Next i
Set QNode = QNodes(1)
If Range("D1").Value = "CONFIRM" Then
QNode.Shapes.Fill.ForeColor.RGB = RGB(255, 0, 0)
ElseIf Range("D1").Value = "PENDING" Then
QNode.Shapes.Fill.ForeColor.RGB = RGB(128, 128, 128)
ElseIf Range("D1").Value = "SUSPECTED" Then
QNode.Shapes.Fill.ForeColor.RGB = RGB(255, 255, 0)
ElseIf Range("D1").Value = "NO" Then
QNode.Shapes.Fill.ForeColor.RGB = RGB(0, 255, 0)
End If
With QNode.TextFrame2.TextRange
.Text = Range("B1").Value
.Font.Fill.ForeColor.RGB = vbBlack
.Font.Size = 12
.Font.Bold = True
End With
With QNode.Shapes.AddTextbox(msoTextOrientationHorizontal, _
100, 100, 200, 50) _
.TextFrame.Characters.Text = "Test Box"
End With
r = 1
Call AddChildren(QNode, r)
ogShp.Copy
Sheets.Add After:=ActiveSheet
ActiveSheet.Paste
End Sub
Sub AddChildren(ByVal QParent As SmartArtNode, ByVal r As Long)
Dim QChild As SmartArtNode
Dim Level As Long
Dim s As Long
Const MyCol As String = "C"
Level = Range(MyCol & r).Value
s = r + 1
Do While Range(MyCol & s).Value > Level
If Range(MyCol & s).Value = Level + 1 Then
Set QChild = QParent.AddNode(msoSmartArtNodeBelow)
If Range("D" & s).Value = "CONFIRM" Then
QChild.Shapes.Fill.ForeColor.RGB = RGB(255, 0, 0)
ElseIf Range("D" & s).Value = "PENDING" Then
QChild.Shapes.Fill.ForeColor.RGB = RGB(128, 128, 128)
ElseIf Range("D" & s).Value = "SUSPECTED" Then
QChild.Shapes.Fill.ForeColor.RGB = RGB(255, 255, 0)
ElseIf Range("D" & s).Value = "NO" Then
QChild.Shapes.Fill.ForeColor.RGB = RGB(0, 255, 0)
End If
With QChild.TextFrame2.TextRange
.Text = Range("B" & s).Value
.Font.Fill.ForeColor.RGB = vbBlack
.Font.Size = 12
End With
Call AddChildren(QChild, s)
End If
s = s + 1
Loop
End Sub
This is what it looks like now:
Edit: Added screenshot of data layout.
Adding a textbox under a node would mean that you would have to move the node up to make room for the textbox. As far as I know, it's not possible to move the nodes using VBA.
As a workaround, you could create another node under each node and format it as a textbox.
The outcome would look something like this:
To do this, I would first remove this from OrgChart
With QNode.Shapes.AddTextbox(msoTextOrientationHorizontal, _
100, 100, 200, 50) _
.TextFrame.Characters.Text = "Test Box"
End With
And replace it with:
Dim PseudoTxtBox As SmartArtNode
Set PseudoTxtBox = QNode.AddNode(msoSmartArtNodeAfter) 'Pseudo text box
'Add some text to the textbox
With PseudoTxtBox.TextFrame2.TextRange
.Text = "Some Text"
.Font.Fill.ForeColor.RGB = vbBlack
.Font.Size = 12
End With
'Make the textbox background transparent
PseudoTxtBox.Shapes.Fill.Transparency = 1
Then I would insert the following code right after adding the node in AddChildren :
Dim PseudoTxtBox As SmartArtNode
Set PseudoTxtBox = QChild.AddNode(msoSmartArtNodeAfter) 'Pseudo text box
'Add some text to the textbox
With PseudoTxtBox.TextFrame2.TextRange
.Text = "Some Text"
.Font.Fill.ForeColor.RGB = vbBlack
.Font.Size = 12
End With
'Make the textbox background transparent
PseudoTxtBox.Shapes.Fill.Transparency = 1
'Get the parent shape
Dim mshp As Shape
Dim tempObject As Object
Set tempObject = QChild.Parent
Do While TypeName(tempObject) <> "Shape"
Set tempObject = tempObject.Parent
Loop
Set mshp = tempObject
'Set the corresponding connector (line) to be transparent.
mshp.GroupItems(Level).Line.Transparency = 1

Bold only one portion in VBA

I am currently building a macro that will create a Powerpoint from an excel workbook. I have two cells that I currently combine into one powerpoint textbox. I want to be able to bold one cell value in the textbox. Is this possible?
This is my current code:
Proj = Sheets("Bay du Nord").Range("A23")
Proj2 = Sheets("Bay du Nord").Range("B23")
Set LCProj = Slide2.Shapes.AddTextbox(msoTextOrientationHorizontal, Left:=210, Top:=265, Width:=110, Height:=100)
With LCProj
.Name = "LC Proj"
With .TextFrame.TextRange
.Text = Proj & vbNewLine & Proj2 & vbNewLine & "kg CO2/BOE"
.Font.Size = 12
.Font.Bold = False
.ParagraphFormat.Alignment = ppAlignCenter
End With
With .Fill
.TwoColorGradient msoGradientHorizontal, 2
.ForeColor.RGB = RGB(140, 0, 0)
.BackColor.RGB = RGB(180, 5, 0)
End With
.Shadow.Type = msoShadow14
End With
Say I want to bold the value that is in cell A23 (Proj) and leave the value in B23 (Proj2) the same.
Thanks
You can use TextRange.Characters() to change the properties of a subset of the original TextRange like so:
Proj = Sheets("Bay du Nord").Range("A23")
Proj2 = Sheets("Bay du Nord").Range("B23")
Set LCProj = Slide2.Shapes.AddTextbox(msoTextOrientationHorizontal, Left:=210, Top:=265, Width:=110, Height:=100)
With LCProj
.Name = "LC Proj"
With .TextFrame.TextRange
.Text = Proj & vbNewLine & Proj2 & vbNewLine & "kg CO2/BOE"
.Font.Size = 12
.Font.Bold = False
.ParagraphFormat.Alignment = ppAlignCenter
With .Characters(1, len(Proj))
.Font.Bold = True
End With
End With
With .Fill
.TwoColorGradient msoGradientHorizontal, 2
.ForeColor.RGB = RGB(140, 0, 0)
.BackColor.RGB = RGB(180, 5, 0)
End With
.Shadow.Type = msoShadow14
End With

Suggestions for codes format to set the chart coordinates,title and added text in excel macro

Wrote a macro to draw line with markers plot with excel, it works well in a single macro xlsm file. But when I tried to convert it to a excel addin (xlam file) , it got a lot of bugs. All the bugs are related to the format of both X and Y coordinates, position, font type and size of chart title, and position, font type and sizeof added text. Not sure what is the reason, need to know the correct format of them. Any debug suggestions or help, really appreciated. Please see the error message and my full macro codes as the following. Thanks.
The error message is run time error '-21474627161 (800004003)': the object is no longer valid.
After you clicked the debug, the code " .left=358" was highlighted with yellow.
But you checked with excel, the plot was drawn without chart title and the add text (that I want) and the format of coordinate was not that I tried to set. Again all these errors only happen with the xlam file, the macro works well with xlms fie.

Formatting Chart Legends Using With (Syntax)

I have a macro which adds and removes (filterseries) set data series of a chart (in its own sheet) by looping through checkboxes in a separate sheet. When I add and remove them, I want to cycle the legend off then back on so that it resizes itself automatically.
I think this is just a syntax error of how I'm using the with statement.
I have a separate macro which does this for a different purpose, but it loops through chart-sheets and treats them as variables and, for some reason, it works there.

Runtime Error '9'. Subscript out of range
on the With statement: With ActiveWorkbook.Charts("I.Surf (1)").Legend
That means a chart named "I.Surf (1)" does not exist you are probably missing the space between the dot and Surf. It should be "I. Surf (1)".
I recommend to reference the chart by a variable so you only have to use its name once. Coding rule number 1: Don't repeat yourself.
Dim ActChart As Chart
Set ActChart = ActiveWorkbook.Charts("I. Surf (1)")
This prevents typos and if you have to change it you only need to change it in one position:
