Hi Rick
Thank you for your reply.
When I execute the codes, it stops at this line
Selection.Characters.Text = "Foor"
Runtime error 1004
Unable to set the text property of the character class.
Best regards
John

Forget trying to combine things on the same line and use normal blocking...

If nx = Range("A3").Value Then
Selection.Characters.Text = "Foor"
Exit Sub
Else
Selection.Characters.Text = "4"
End If

As for your error, you can't mix putting commands after the Then keyword with
Else conditionals. If you have this...

If <logical expression Then <do something

then you cannot follow it with an ElseIf nor and Else; however, if you put the
<do something code on a separate line from the Then keyword, you can.

Hi Everyone
Below is a sample of my codes for a Staircase Calculator.
My problem is at the If command at the bottom, I tried different things
but no success, I need your help.
Regards
John

Sub Make_Stairs4()

Dim nx As Variant
nx = 4
Application.ScreenUpdating = False
ActiveWindow.Zoom = 100

Height_size = Range("G1").Value
Width_size = Range("G2").Value
Left_size = Range("K1").Value
Top_size = Range("K2").Value

ActiveSheet.Shapes.AddShape(msoShapeRightTriangle, _
Left_size, Top_size, Width_size, Height_size).Select

'Selection.Characters.Text = "4"

Selection.ShapeRange.Fill.ForeColor.RGB = RGB(255, 255, 255)
Selection.ShapeRange.Fill.Transparency = 0.65
Selection.ShapeRange.Line.Weight = 0.75
Selection.ShapeRange.Line.ForeColor.RGB = RGB(10, 10, 10)
Selection.ShapeRange.Line.BackColor.RGB = RGB(255, 255, 255)

ActiveSheet.Range("D2").Select

If nx = Range("A3").Value Then Selection.Characters.Text = "Foor" , Exit
Sub

Else: Selection.Characters.Text = "4"

End If

Call Make_Stairs5

End Sub
