Questions:
I have a chart in Excel. I’ve added a shape to the chart with:
excelChart.Shapes.AddShape(msoShapeRectangle, 0, 0, excelChart.ChartArea.width, 15)
I selected the green box and ran the below macro:
Sub Macro6()
Selection.ShapeRange.Left = 0
Selection.ShapeRange.Top = 0
End Sub
I was expecting the green box to be positioned flush in the top left of the orange chart area, but as you can see there seems to be some kind of margin before the top/left zero coordinate starts..
How can I programmatically position the green box flush in the corner?
How to&Answers:
Try using IncrementLeft and IncrementTop.
Sub AddBox()
Dim cht As Chart
Set cht = Worksheets(1).ChartObjects(1).Chart
With cht.Shapes.AddShape(msoShapeRectangle, 0, 0, cht.ChartArea.Width, 15)
.Name = "MyShape"
.IncrementLeft -5 //Experiment with number to get desired effect
.IncrementTop -5
End With
End Sub
