VBA code: Auto change shape size based on specified cell value in Excel

Private Sub Worksheet_Change(ByVal Target As Range)
    On Error Resume Next
    If Target.Row = 2 And Target.Column = 1 Then
        Call SizeCircle("Oval 2", Val(Target.Value))
    End If
End Sub
Sub SizeCircle(Name As String, Diameter)
    Dim xCenterX As Single
    Dim xCenterY As Single
    Dim xCircle As Shape
    Dim xDiameter As Single
    On Error GoTo ExitSub
    xDiameter = Diameter
    If xDiameter > 10 Then xDiameter = 10
    If xDiameter < 1 Then xDiameter = 1
    Set xCircle = ActiveSheet.Shapes(Name)
    With xCircle
        xCenterX = .Left + (.Width / 2)
        xCenterY = .Top + (.Height / 2)
        .Width = Application.CentimetersToPoints(xDiameter)
        .Height = Application.CentimetersToPoints(xDiameter)
        .Left = xCenterX - (.Width / 2)
        .Top = xCenterY - (.Height / 2)
    End With
ExitSub:
End Sub

Note: In the code, “Oval 2” is the shape name you will change its size. And Row = 2, Column = 1 means that the size of shape “Oval 2” will be changed with the value in A2. Please change them as you need.

For auto resizing multiple shapes based on different cell values, please apply the below VBA code.

        xAddress = Target.Address(0, 0)
        If xAddress = "A1" Then
            Call SizeCircle("Oval 1", Val(Target.Value))
        ElseIf xAddress = "A2" Then
            Call SizeCircle("Smiley Face 3", Val(Target.Value))
        ElseIf xAddress = "A3" Then
            Call SizeCircle("Heart 2", Val(Target.Value))
        End If
    End If
End Sub

Sub SizeCircle(Name As String, Diameter)
    Dim xCenterX As Single
    Dim xCenterY As Single
    Dim xCircle As Shape
    Dim xDiameter As Single
    On Error GoTo ExitSub
    xDiameter = Diameter
    If xDiameter > 10 Then xDiameter = 10
    If xDiameter < 1 Then xDiameter = 1
    Set xCircle = ActiveSheet.Shapes(Name)
    With xCircle
        xCenterX = .Left + (.Width / 2)
        xCenterY = .Top + (.Height / 2)
        .Width = Application.CentimetersToPoints(xDiameter)
        .Height = Application.CentimetersToPoints(xDiameter)
        .Left = xCenterX - (.Width / 2)
        .Top = xCenterY - (.Height / 2)
    End With
ExitSub:
End Sub

Notes:

3. Press Alt + Q keys simultaneously to close the Microsoft Visual Basic for Applications window.

From now on, when you change the value in cell A2, the size of shape Oval 2 will be changed automatically. See screenshot:

Or change the values in cell A1, A2 and A3 to resize the corresponding shapes "Oval 1", "Smiley Face 3" and "Heart 3" automatically. See screenshot:

Note: The shape size will no longer change when the cell value is greater than 10.
