RE: Excel shapes

Hi Rowan,

Thank you for the forum question. If it is a free form shape it is not possible. If it is a circle, rectangle, square or other shapes we by using math can calculate we can do it if we know the math.

We can also do it in the worksheet. If you select the shape you can find the height and width under the format tab.

Kind regards

Excel tip:

Move data worksheet to worksheet

To move data from one worksheet to another, highlight the data.

Select and hold down the ALT key and position the mouse on the border of the selection until the mouse pointer displays four-headed arrows.

Drag the selection down to the destination worksheet tab.

When the arrow touches the tab, Excel switches to the desired worksheet. Now drag the selection to the correct position. Let go of the mouse and then the ALT key.

To copy data from one worksheet to another, select and hold down the CTRL+ALT keystroke combination and perform the steps above.
