Excel Facts

Copy formula down without changing references
If you have =SUM(F2:F49) in F50; type Alt+' in F51 to copy =SUM(F2:F49) to F51, leaving the formula in edit mode. Change SUM to COUNT.
Here's another way:

VBA Code: 
Sub DrawFlag()
    Dim Code(1 To 3) As String
    Dim Filename As String: Filename = Environ("TEMP") & "\flag.svg"
    Code(1) = "<svg width=""440"" height=""275"" xmlns=""http://www.w3.org/2000/svg"" xmlns:xlink=""http://www.w3.org/1999/xlink"" xml:space=""preserve"" overflow=""hidden"">"
    Code(2) = "<defs><clipPath id=""clip0""><rect x=""0"" y=""0"" width=""440"" height=""275""/></clipPath></defs>"
    Code(3) = "<g clip-path=""url(#clip0)""><rect x=""0"" y=""0"" width=""440"" height=""138"" fill=""#055AB4""/><rect x=""0"" y=""138"" width=""440"" height=""137"" fill=""#FAD205""/></g></svg>"
    CreateObject("Scripting.FileSystemObject").CreateTextFile(Filename, True).WriteLine Join(Code)
    Application.ActiveSheet.Shapes.AddPicture Filename:=Filename, LinkToFile:=msoFalse, SaveWithDocument:=msoTrue, Left:=Application.ActiveCell.Left, Top:=Application.ActiveCell.Top, Width:=-1, Height:=-1
    Kill Filename
End Sub
