    can't delete image in excel sheet

    I am working in a Call Center Back office & has a lot of data kept in it. But today when i opened the file i saw that someone has inserted image in it. I tried deleting/removing it but was not worthy as it cannot be deleted by the means of removing/deleting as the way i was knowing. Can someone help with this. Please Help.....!

    Select the file or image & then delete it directly from there or you can go to Edit option & can cut it from there. Also you can remove it by moving that file to the different sheet but should be blank & then can delete that sheet directly.

    Re: cant delete image in excel sheet

    The following code will solve your problem of deleting picture from excel :

    Code:
    Dim eqn, pic, graphics, sh, temp, shAddress, shCount, shName
    Set graphics = Sheets("Graphics")
    shCount = ActiveSheet.Shapes.Count
    If shCount = 0 Then
    Else
        For Each sh In ActiveSheet.Shapes   'Find and delete the existing equation box & schematic
            shCount = ActiveSheet.Shapes.Count
            shName = sh.Name
            Select Case Left(LCase(shName), 3)
            Case "pic", "eqn", "obj"
                     sh.Delete               'Delete it
            Case Else   'Don't delete drop-down lists or other shape objects
            End Select
        Next sh
    End If

    Try this Macro on the Excel file after taking the backup of that file :

    Code:
    Sub Macro1()
    Dim ShapeName As Shape
    
    For Each ShapeName In ActiveSheet.Shapes
    ActiveSheet.Shapes(ShapeName.Name).Delete
    Next ShapeName
    End Sub

    The problem might be that the workbook is being Shared. Turn that off, and you might be able to select and remove the image.

    Try resizing the image to zero by zero. That was the only way I could get rid of my company logo from the top of my spreadsheet.
