MS Office Forum / Excel / New Users / March 2008Fill shape with data
Is it possible to fill an excel shape, circle, rectangle, autoshape etc. with data from a cell or a name. I mean for it to actualy read and display the data not just paste in as text. I cant see anything so far but maybe that is a "trick" Thanks Select your rectangle (say) and type this in the formula bar: =A1 Now type something in A1. > Is it possible to fill an excel shape, circle, rectangle, autoshape > etc. with data from a cell or a name.
