    Geting the Shape (name or objet) that is over a given cell

    Hi,
    Is there any command to get the shape that is over a given cell?

    I have done the opposite using the ".TopLeftCell" command. (given any shape name, get wich cell is beneath it).

    Thanks !

    Hello Wizz,

    Unfortunately, there isn't. I have wished many times that there were. Excel draws on a "canvas" which is separate from the worksheet. While shapes on the canvas can move and be sized with the cells, there is no provision made in the Range object to know if there is a shape above a given cell or cells.
    Sincerely,
    Leith Ross

    You can loop through all the shapes on the sheet, and see which one has the topleftcell that you're looking for.
