Summary: Depending on your version of Excel, macros are usually added to toolbars and menus. You can also add them to graphics, so that the macro is executed when someone clicks on the graphic. This tip explains how to establish that relationship between a graphic and a macro. (This tip works with Microsoft Excel 97, Excel 2000, Excel 2002, Excel 2003, and Excel 2007.)
You already know that Excel allows you to add graphics to your worksheets, such as pictures. You may not know, however, that you can assign macros to these graphics. With a macro associated with a graphic, the macro is executed whenever someone clicks on the graphic.
To assign a macro to a graphic, follow these steps:
Save your workbook and test out your assignment by clicking on the graphic. The macro should run, as desired.
