Organization chart with VBA – Part 3 - This version allows for pictures and two-colored boxes

  • This is a continuation of the project mentioned below. To produce the chart, run the main routine.
  • The information on each box is now presented in two different colors. These colors come from the corresponding cells at the source table. For more detailed explanations, refer to the previous articles.
  • Boxes with pictures are nice, but images take up precious space. I chose to provide an option for pictures by right clicking any sheet cell; the images appear over the...

Will the fill handle fill 1, 2, 3?
Yes! Type 1 in a cell. Hold down Ctrl while you drag the fill handle.

Hello
I will prepare a suitable test workbook.
 
Thank you hugely - this is really cool - and has so much potential to help us finally map our staff out in an interactive kind of way....

Hi Worf,

Super awesome stuff!!!! and big "thank you" for the generosity in spending time creating this workbook.
I've tried adding another line of data in the "tdata" sheet > executed the "main" macro but was getting issues with the chart.
Please see screenshot 1 and 2 (also noticing that the new data line "CAT 6" did not create.

I then closed the file and re-opened the original file and added "CAT 6" to "secdata" tab and executed "main" macro.
This resulted in a different issue but I noticed the new data CAT6 was appearing on fshap table but the charts weren't appearing as they should.
Please see following screenshot.

Once again - really appreciate your assistance on this.

Hi Worf,

Thanks for replying so quickly - very much appreciated.
I re-tried it and unfortunately it's returning an error.
I also re-downloaded a copy of the workbook - "Org 3.xlsm" from the link in this discussion.
Here is a screenshot of the error in the VBA window and of the workbook where it stopped.
The org chart and shape creation looks to be working but something didn't work to flip the chart vertically.

Once again can't say enough thanks for your generous help.

this is probably because you do not have the pictures at the correct path, the code expects something like

c:\test\pic1.png

if you do not want pictures, delete the RecPic call at the end of main routine.
 
That's super! Worf. That worked!

Unfortunately, as I'm adding more CATs to CHILD5 I've gotten another error. :(

The steps I performed was -
(1) added CAT6 with same details - update worked
(2) added CAT7 with "desc longer" - update worked
(3) added CAT8 with "desc super long" - error (Could it be a limit on the number of characters?)

Here's are the error screen and tab screen's I'm seeing when the error occurred.
