Mr. Deitrick,
I have a similar question (at least I think it just builds on the previous
post below):

I would like to have a macro that inserts one of 5 symbols to a cell based
on the value in the cell. What I'm aiming for is something similar to the
tables Conumer Reports uses to rate the items they evaluate: Red circle,
half full (upper half) red circle, empty circle, black half full (lower)
circle, and black full circle.

I have the images are ready to go and the code below will work for inserting
an image for a single "if" statement, but I'm not getting the (I'm guessing)
nested statements correct.

Any help you can provide will be most appreciated.

Many thanks in advance,
M John

First off, you should post with a name. It's only polite to let us know who
you are.

You can use the worksheet's change (if A1 is directly entered) or calculate
event (if A1 contains a formula) to hide or show the bitmap (change the
visible property to either true or false) based on the value in A1. Copy the
first procedure, right-click on the worksheet tab, select "View Code" and
paste into the window that appears. Copy the second procedure, and paste
into a standard codemodule. Change the file and path, and you can lose the
MsgBoxes as well.

HTH,

Private Sub Worksheet_Change(ByVal Target As Range)
If Target.Address = "$A$1" Then
Application.EnableEvents = False
HandleBMP
Application.EnableEvents = True
End If
End Sub

Sub HandleBMP()
Dim myCell As Range
Set myCell = Selection

On Error Resume Next
If Range("A1").Value = 1 Then
MsgBox "Inserting"
ActiveSheet.Shapes("A1 Picture").Delete
Range("B1").Select
ActiveSheet.Pictures.Insert( _
"C:\Path\Filename.BMP").Select
Selection.Name = "A1 Picture"
Else
MsgBox "Deleting"
ActiveSheet.Shapes("A1 Picture").Delete
End If

myCell.Select
End Sub

I need to show a bitmap only if (for example) cell A1 = 1 but not if A1 =
0.

Is this possible using conditional formatting or other method?

Thanks
