FORMAT.MOVE Syntax 2

Macro Sheets Only

Equivalent to moving an object with the mouse. Moves the base of the selected object to the specified position and, if successful, returns TRUE. If the selected object cannot be moved, FORMAT.MOVE returns FALSE. There are three syntax forms of this function. Use syntax 3 to move pie-chart and doughnut-chart items. Use syntax 1 to move worksheet objects. It is generally easier to use the macro recorder to enter this function on your macro sheet.

Syntax

FORMAT.MOVE(x_pos, y_pos)
FORMAT.MOVE?(x_pos, y_pos)

X_pos specifies the horizontal position to which you want to move the object and is measured in points from the base of the object to the lower-left corner of the window. A point is 1/72nd of an inch.

Y_pos specifies the vertical position to which you want to move the object and is measured in points from the base of the object to the lower-left corner of the window.

Remarks

Example

On a chart, the following macro formula moves the base of the selected chart object 10 points to the right of and 20 points above the lower-left corner of the window:


FORMAT.MOVE(10, 20)
