How to Reset Picture Effects in Excel VBA: A Step-by-Step Guide

In the world of Excel, images can enhance your data representation. However, when you apply artistic effects to your pictures using VBA (Visual Basic for Applications), it can sometimes be tricky to switch them back to their original format. One popular query revolves around how to reset a picture that has been transformed into grayscale back to its vivid original color. If you find yourself grappling with this issue, you're in the right place. In this guide, we'll break down the solution in a simple and structured way.

The Problem

You have a picture in your Excel worksheet that you'd like to turn grayscale by clicking on it. You've successfully accomplished this using a VBA command:

However, when you attempt to revert the picture back to its original color (essentially performing a 'reset' operation), the standard options like msoEffectNone and msoEffectTypeNone do not yield the desired outcome. Even after searching extensively for a solution, no clear paths seem to lead to the desired result.

The Solution: Removing the Effect

The trick to solving this issue isn't to set a different effect but to actually remove the existing effect from the picture using VBA. Below, we outline a method to efficiently toggle between the grayscale effect and the original picture formatting.

Step-by-Step Code Explanation

Here’s a concise VBA subroutine that will help you toggle the effect on and off:

Breaking Down the Code:

Subroutine Definition: The subroutine, toggleEfect, takes as parameters a Shape object and an effect type (in this case, msoEffectPencilGrayscale).

Looping Through Picture Effects: The For Each loop iterates through all applied PictureEffects to check if the specified effect is already applied to the shape.

Deleting the Effect: If the specified effect is found within the loop, it is deleted, and a flag (found) is set to true.

Inserting the Effect: If no existing effect is found, the specified effect is inserted back onto the shape.

How to Call the Subroutine

You can apply the subroutine in your worksheet as follows:

Conclusion

In a nutshell, toggling and resetting picture effects in Excel VBA involves effectively managing the picture effects applied to shapes rather than creating/removing effects in a conventional manner. By leveraging the toggleEfect subroutine shared above, you can easily switch between artistic effects and the original state of your pictures without hassle.

Now go ahead, experiment with your VBA skills, and transform your Excel experience with stunning images!
