How to check if a cell has a picture?

Question

In Excel, I want to check if a specific cell for instance \"C12\" has a picture?
How could I do this?

Answer 1

I had a situation where I wanted to delete pictures (In my case charts) from selected cells on a worksheet and leave others in place therefore removing all pictures was not an option. I've left behind some debugging and also some extra code to tell the user what is going on.

Public Sub RemoveUnWantedGraphs()

    Dim shp As Shape
    Dim rangeToTest As Range
    Dim c As Range
    Dim shpList

    'Set the rangeToTest variable to the selected cells
    Set rangeToTest = Selection

    'Loop Over the the selected cells
    For Each c In rangeToTest


        'Inner loop to iterate over the shapes collection for the activesheet
        Set shpList = ActiveSheet.Shapes
        For Each shp In shpList

            Application.StatusBar = "Analysing:- " + c.Address + " Graphs To Find:- " & shpList.Count


            'If the address of the current cell and the address
            'of the shape are the same then delete the shape
            If c.Address = shp.TopLeftCell.Address Then

                Debug.Print "Deleting :- " & shp.Name
                shp.Delete

                DoEvents
            End If

        Next shp

    Next c

    Application.StatusBar = ""

    MsgBox "All Shapes In Range Deleted"

End Sub
