How do I select all shapes (array? range?) where the value in Cell "A:Shape.TopLeftCell.Row" = 0
?
The Array should consist only Shapes 2 and 3 as per image above.

Just as an alternative, you can reverse the logic and select as you go, then assign the selection to a shaperange if required:
Sub ShapePicker()
Dim s As Shape
Dim sr As ShapeRange
Dim i As Long
i = 1
For Each s In ActiveSheet.Shapes
If Cells(s.TopLeftCell.Row, "A").Value = 0 Then
s.Select (i = 1)
i = i + 1
End If
Next s
Set sr = Selection.ShapeRange
End Sub
Build a ShapeRange that meets the criteria and then Select that ShapeRange
Sub ShapePicker()
Dim s As Shape, sr As ShapeRange
Dim Arr() As Variant
Set mycell = Range("A:A").Find(What:=0, After:=Range("A1"))
rrow = mycell.Row
i = 1
For Each s In ActiveSheet.Shapes
If s.TopLeftCell.Row = rrow Then
ReDim Preserve Arr(1 To i)
Arr(i) = s.Name
i = i + 1
End If
Next s
Set sr = ActiveSheet.Shapes.Range(Arr)
sr.Select
End Sub
You can loop through the shapes on the sheet until you find one in the range. As someone else mentioned, selecting is often unnecessary.
Dim shp As shape
For Each shp In ActiveSheet.shapes
If Not Intersect(yourselectedrange, shp.TopLeftCell) Is Nothing Then
shp.Select
Exit For
End If
Next shp
There is another way around of this. I came across this post while looking for a solution.
So here it is the Answer for anyone looking for a way around.
The Method goes like this:
Run a loop
like this once to change the names of the Rectangles
to the Address of their TopLeftCell
Dim sh As Shape
For Each sh In ActiveSheet.Shapes
sh.Name = sh.TopLeftCell.Address
Next sh
Now in any other code you can directly access the shape using:
ActiveSheet.Shapes(ActiveCell.Address).Select
This is one way you can achieve it. Though there doesn't exist a method that you are looking for.
You can change the ActiveCell.Address
any range object or maybe just the text itself. It will take values like $D$4
Tried and Tested, it works Smoothly.
