i need to have a way to link a small picture/thumbnail to a cell. so that there is a way to preveiw it. Ideally like what happens with the comments where you hover over the cell and the comment would pop up. or failing that may be a cell linking to the image.

View 6 Replies View RelatedI'm trying to do something with pictures that have been inserted into cell comments. I'd like to be able to copy a picture that had been inserted into a cell comment, and save as .jpg with file name and file location designated by other cells in the spreadsheet. For example A1 contains "monkey" and has a picture of a monkey inserted into a comment on the same cell. B1 contains "zoo". I'd like to copy the picture from A1's comment and save as monkey.jpg to location c:zoo. Is this kind of thing possible in VBA?
View 5 Replies View RelatedI have this code tat I am using to important a picture via a comment box:
Private Sub Worksheet_Change(ByVal Target As Range)
If Target.Address = "$AI$10" Then
newpic = "J:help" & Range("AQ21").Value
Target.Comment.Shape.Fill.UserPicture newpic
End If
End Sub
The problem is if you put a value in AI10 that is not AQ21 it gives and error. I would like for it to call another cell (B3) for newpic in the case of a value that is not present in AI10.
My goal is to have a picture pop up (preferably for a set amount of time), when a user selects a certain option from a data validation drop down list.
I have seen that you can add a picture to a comment, bu I can't combine comments with data validation lists.
Is there any way to get a comment to be part of a data validation list?
It mentioned something about getting comments which display dynamic data as if something metioned in the cells will appear in the comment and on changing the data in the cells, the data in the comments also changes with it..
Unfortunately, I could not save that file or remember the website as my Internet went bonkers...
So can someone please help me with the same....
I have done the above where when I select a picture name from a drop down list it displays the relevant picture in another cell by using the IF function in the named formula
My question is why cant I use VLOOKUP instead of IF in the named formula. When I use it it comes with an error.
I want to paste/show a photo in a particular cell (D2) on a worksheet (called PP). I wish to delete any photo that may already be there in D2.
The picture's name (e.g. J-145.jpg) will be found in another sheet (called MP) in cell H1.
My pictures are stored in a folder (lets call it c:pictures) and the one I want has the same name (J-145.jpg).
I've tried many macros but none work.
i have saved some pictures in my excel sheet.
in the next sheet i want that when i write the picture name the picture will appear as vlookup helps in the getting text and nos. can i do this with pictures or i tried to get to much from excel.
how to copy the contents of multiple comment boxes and paste in a single comment box.
The big picture is that I have a number of cells with numerical values in and text in comment boxes. I want to be able to click a button to copy the contents of the comment boxes and paste them, along with the numerical value from the cell, into a single comment box, ordered by highest to lowest value within the comment box, then delete the original cells and comments.
I am quite new to VBA but have been coping quite well so far with information of the web and analysing recorded macros.
In Excel 2010, is there any way to paste a picture into a small picture/diagram box, and upon double clicking the picture it would explode to a larger size? And I guess double clicking it again would make it return to its original (smaller) size. I would be pasting several pictures into several different picture/diagram boxes and would need this to be a relative reference so that upon selection it explodes the appropriate picture?
View 1 Replies View RelatedI'm wondering if it is at all possible to have a cell comment automatically update depending on what data is input in the cell (via user input, VLOOKUP, etc.)?
For example, if cell A1 contains the text "CHARLES" with a comment saying "Employee of the Month", and is then subsequently updated with the new text "JOHN" (again, via direct input, a VLOOKUP, data validation, etc.) is there a way to have the comment automatically update to say something else, such as "Team Lead" for example?
I've considered using VBA to accomplish my goal, but am unsure how to compose an effective code to do so. I've also considered perhaps creating a named table filled with all the different comment possibilities I would like to have used in this cell and then inputting a formula in either cell A1, or the comment contained therein, that would then call the corresponding text from that table based on the data in cell A1. Honestly, I'm not sure that what I'm trying to do is even possible;
I have some code that finds the appropriate string for a comment from another sheet. I then want to add the string to the appropriate range selection but am encountering an Object Variable or With Block Variable Not set on this section of

ActiveCell.AddComment (Commenta)

Where Commenta is the string value I want to add.
How, via VBA, would I add a comment from a userform (text box name: txtReason) into a cell that may already have a comment in it? I would like to keep the comment that is in the cell and then have the program add a "/" and the next comment from txtReason..

I am working on a database and trying to remove duplicates. When there are duplicates, I want to take the contents of one cell and copy them as a comment on the cell above (or below).
I tried to work on a small macro to do so, but the contents of the cell cannot be copied (it comes out as a blank).
The long way is to 'double click' in the cell, Ctrl+A, cut, click the cell above, Ctrl+F2, paste. This way is very long as I have thousands of duplicates.
What is the best way to reference a cell in another workbook and return the cell contents and the comment on that cell. I would like the comment to come across as a comment in the new workbook becuase the comment is actually a picture.
Hope this makes sense. I did find a macro through googling but I couldn't get it to work? I don't really want to copy and paste because eventually I have hundreds of sheets & thousands of cells to refer to.?
I have a spreadsheet with some cells which return values using INDEX and MATCH to bring back the entire details of a person based on there membership number. However I require the comments to be attached with the returned values. The comments have there image in, rather than just text.
I have found some answers with vba, which do the process, however you had to manually enter the cell, from which the comment was to be copied from, into a pop up box. This involved finding the box myself to then select the box to take the comment from. In doing this I had found and read the comment, which is the is the process I'm trying to bypass.
I need to copy a cell content to a Comment into another worksheet in
the same cell ref.
sheet1
A1 = apple
A2 = orange
Sheet2 - target
A1 = comment (apple)
A2 = comment (orange)
make the contents of the cell comment box dependent on the cell contents? eg if the cell contents = 2 and a seperate table says 2 is "poor" can it automatically populate the comment with "poor" ?

View 3 Replies View RelatedI've some code to add a comment with the value of the corresponding cell 9 columns across:
For Each rCell In rRng.Offset(0, 0).Resize(rRng.Rows.Count, rRng.Columns.Count)
On Error Resume Next
rCell.AddComment
On Error GoTo 0
rCell.Comment.Text "Previous value was " & Cells(rCell.Offset(0, 9).Value) '(rRng.Row, rRng.Column).Value
I have the code below, and it works perfectly on my Mac. But... on my PC it does not.
The cell comment does not resize horizontally when I enter text. So if I enter a long comment I get a comment box that extends far to the right to fit the contents in. Vertically it is fine, nothing cut off and no extra space.
Any ideas why this would be? Any ideas how I can force the text to wrap in the cell comment box?
Code is below:
Sub AddCom()
Const USERNAME As String = "Greer:"
Dim strCommentName As String
Dim cmnt As String
Dim NoMore As Boolean
Dim Pos As Long
cmnt = InputBox("Please enter a comment")
strCommentName = cmnt & vbLf & Now

I have a set of data with text in one cell and images in a cell adjacent the text to illustrate the text. I am trying to figure out how to add a comment to the cell containing the text and take the image in the adjacent cell and put it in the comment.
Is there a way to do this, or do I have to write a macro that saves the images as their own files and then insert the image files into the comment?
I'm using this formula on Sheet2 to populate a cell (copied across and down)...
=IF(COUNTIF(Master!$F$1:$F$300,$A2)>=COLUMNS($B2:B2),INDEX(Master!$B$1:$B$300,SMALL(IF(Master!$F$1:$F$300=$A2,ROW(Master!$F$1:$F$300)-ROW(Master!$F$1)+1),COLUMNS($B2:B2))),"")
In cell B2 Sheet2, I would like to have a cell comment that is populated by the data in Master! that is alongside the data looked up in this formula, this principle would apply to every cell in my range... Sheet2 B2:AC100.
So on Sheet2 B3 is populated by B11 from Master!, I would like the comment to be the value of A11 on Master!
I want to select any cell on a spreadsheet, then run a macro that inserts a comment to the selected cell with the inserted comment text being the selected cell entry (value/text/ date).
