+
+### Overview
+- In this tutorial, I'll show you how to change Image size when you click on it
+- This is effective way to save space for large images and make excel more interactive for user
+- I am assuming that you have basic knowledge of `VBA` and how to create new modules
+- If you don't know how to work with excel macro then watch this video first: [How to create or use excel macro Tutorial](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Tepc4iioSaA)
+
+### Setup
+
+![Output1](/assets/images/excel/excel-image-toggle-1.webp)
+_Screenshot 1 : Excel sheet with selection pane_
+
+- Open your Excel sheet, Insert New image in excel sheet (Place image over cells, this code won't work with in-cell images)
+- Open Selection Pane using `ALT`+`F10` and change name of image to `ImageName_Size1_Size2` format refer Screenshot 1
+  - `ImageName` is name of your image
+  - `Size1` is Larger or Zoom In image width
+  - `Size2` is default image width
+  - Both sizes value are in centimeters
+  - Don't forget to add underscore `_` as separator for ImageName, Size1, and Size2
+  - You can also use smaller size first and larger second, sequence doesn't matter
+- I am going to use `P1_6_3` Image name, where 6cm is Image Width when it's zoomed in and 3cm is Image Width when it's zoomed out
+- Convert your excel file to macro unable file if it's regular excel file
+- Create new module with VBA code from below and assign `ImageSizeToggle` macro to your image, refer Screenshot 2
+
+```vb
+Sub ImageSizeToggle()
+
+    On Error GoTo ErrorHandler
+
+    'Get Shape that triggered the macro
+    Dim shape As shape
+    Set shape = ActiveSheet.Shapes(Application.Caller)
+
+    'Lock Aspect Ration to adjust height automatically
+    shape.LockAspectRatio = msoTrue
+
+    'Get Shape Toggle Sizes
+    Dim Sizes() As String
+    Sizes = Split(shape.Name, "_")
+
+    Dim width1 As Double, width2 As Double
+    width1 = Application.CentimetersToPoints(CDbl(Sizes(1)))
+    width2 = Application.CentimetersToPoints(CDbl(Sizes(2)))
+
+    'Toggle width
+    If Math.Abs(shape.Width - width1) > Math.Abs(shape.Width - width2) Then
+        shape.Width = width1
+    Else
+        shape.Width = width2
+    End If
+
+Done:
+    Exit Sub
+
+ErrorHandler:
+    MsgBox "Invalid Shape Name : " & shape.Name & vbNewLine & "Use ImageName_Size1_Size2 Format"
+
+End Sub
+```

+
+### Conclusion
+- Image toggles are simple way to save space and add some good visuals to excel sheets
+- You can also use this code to toggle excel shapes and charts
+- one downside of this method is that you'll lose your undo history, so you won't be able to undo your changes after running this macro
