How to prevent chart / picture / button from moving in Excel?
In Excel, we always insert some objects, such as charts, pictures or buttons and so on to make the worksheet more vividly and clearly. But, when you drag the cells below these objects, the floating objects will be moving or resizing with the cells automatically. How could you prevent these objects from resizing or moving in Excel?
