I am trying to add a feature to an excel spreadsheet that will display image files (map files, .emf if possible), whenever its respective cell is clicked. I have a reasonable amount of experience with macros, although it was purely in excel which completely limits my vba skills. I could probably figure something out if I spent a few weeks on it and then it would probably be like 90 mb and slow.
View 2 RepliesI need to link an image to a cell value and display the selected image in a new sheet of the same excel. I am attaching samplefile for easy reference. The requirement is, from the workout sheet when I select from drop down list, then the corresponding cell value appears in Parameter sheet in C9 cell.
There are four images copied in Parameter excel. The given image has to be selected and linked to the C9 cell value. Based on the selection that particular image should be shown on Sample Picture sheet. Here based on the selection only the image should reflect here.
Is there a way to have image box display an image with a name matching data from a cell? example: if I type "hello" in cell a1, Image box will load image named "hello". And display new images by changing the name in cell a1. Note: the images will be located in a permanent folder.

View 1 Replies View RelatedI have found Displaying an image based on text contained within a cell. which appears to be a very similar question, but no steps to follow.
Basically I have a folder with around 300 images in it, each is called ProductId number.jpg
eg Z99S1234567.jpg
In my sheet I am using the same ProductId number and would like to display the product image on the sheet. I have A1:D19 as spare space Lookig at the info I have found the image will have to go into a cell, so can I break all the rules and merge cells to fit the image in, or do I need to make a single cell big enough or can I use VBA to import the image somehow to a specific place on the sheet.
There will only ever be one looked up image on the screen at a time.
I'm trying to display a different image based on the contents of a cell. For example if cell A1 = "Gerrard" I would then like to display a picture of Steven Gerarrd. Is this possible? If so can anyone give me a steer in how I might acheive this.
View 3 Replies View RelatedIn excel 2007, I have an embedded image on a sheet which I want to make it hidden by default. When someone hovers over a particular cell say cell B3, then image should be displayed below this cell (sort of hyperlinking) and when the cursor or activell cell is not in B3 it should be hidden again. What steps/technique/VBA code will make it happen ?

Is there any way of opening this in a specific part of the spreadsheet (say aligning with C5) rather than a separate web browser?
I have a code that generates a URL for an image (on the internet, not on the local machine) and I would like that picture to be displayed within a userform (preferably at it's original resolution).
View 5 Replies View RelatedIs there a way to insert a reference image thumbnail into my worksheet? I've tried inserting images/pictures directly, however these are duplicate copies of the originals from my system folder. C:/my documents/my pictures. I have about a hundred small images in this folder which are continually updated. (ie: the image changes) I would need this update to be reflected in excel as well.
View 3 Replies View RelatedI am looking for a way to take the picture name associated with an image ie: (picture 571) and place that picture name in the cell next to the image.
I can see the picture name - it registers in the top left box that usually indicates the cell the cursor is on... and I could manually type that name next to each image.
However my spreadsheet has several thousand rows- each with several columns of information and an image..
I am looking for a way "formula?" to automatically read the image in cell J4 and populate cell K4 with the image name... and so on.
The reason for my request... is I am importing products into a web based shopping cart... to do so I have to export the products to a csv and import that csv into the shopping cart. The process of exporting to a csv- strips away all the images and leaves just data.
I found that I can save the document as an html and that process creates a folder with all the images- saved as (picture 571.jpg) if the resulting csv had the image name... the shopping cart would then look for that image name in my image file and it would populate into the shopping cart appropriately.
This seemed on it's face like a really simple thing to do, I have plenty experience with excel & I thought I'd be able to make cell k4= j4 and tada it would glean the image name & I could simply copy that formula all the way down the sheet & it would be done... but I just cant find the magic button that freely gives up the image name...

View 2 Replies View Relatedmy code brings up an empty dialog box.
The file I am trying to view is saved as follows: C: Test.gif
What I have done.Added a image control to a dialog box, called image1
Added the following event handler to image1:
x = c: test.gif
Image1.picture = loadpicture (X)Pressed F5 to test the code and brings up a dialog box with a blank image box.
Not called the userform in the main module (didn't seem much point considering the test failed)
My questions
where I am going wrong with this, the correct code?
Also in inputting the address of the file I could not use the C: format as this brought up an error. What is the correct format?
I have a dataset that includes the path and optionally an HTTPS URL to an image. Is it possible to embed this image in a cell?
Short of that what might be some other options?
I need to find an easy way to locate an image on my server and upon selection rather than inserting the actual image I need to insert the image path. e.g. "s:imageshighresgreen1234.jpg"
View 3 Replies View RelatedMy workbook simply has multiple columns of data which will be summarized visually in a tag cloud (I have the tag cloud part taken care of already creating either a jpg or png, I simply have to change the extension within a batch file to change between picture formats)
I need to have the tag cloud image display and update depending on which column the user would like to summarize (for now I have simplified the issue by only having one of the data columns in my workbook, and will worry about the user selection of the data column to be summarized later).
My Main Question:
Focusing on the image display and updating now, whether it be an ActiveX Image Control or any other way. I've been playing around manually before I try and code it and I can not get either a jpg or png file to attach to the ActiveX control (both of which cause an Invalid Picture Message).
The file name can stay the same if need be and for now I think/assume that'd be easiest (I have my Tag cloud generator just replacing the previously existing image file of the same name).
Would ActiveX control be the way to go for this dynamically changing image?
is there a way to load an image out when u type the image name in the textfield.
Example when I type in my name it load my image out beside the name.
I have a number of image controls on a user form, each being loaded with an image from file.
Image1 being loaded with a picture of a bus image2 being loaded with a picture of a school
And so on
Now what I am trying to do is when that image is clicked the name of that image is passed to a textbox
So the action would be
1 image of bus loaded into image control1 , the name of that image being bus.jpg
2 image is clicked
3 the name bus.jpg appears in a text box
Here is what I have so far
Code:
Private Sub Image1_Click()
DataInput.TextBoxItem.Value = bus.jpg
DataInput.TextBoxItem.Value= Image1.Name - this does not work
End Sub
Which works but as you can see this is static, as I have supplied the value , were as I would like the clicking action to pick up the name of the jpeg being displayed
So expanding upon this if say image1 is loaded with say a picture of a car instead of a bus
LValue4 = "E:Car.jpg"
Image1.Picture = LoadPicture(LValue4)
Now when it is clicked the name of the image being displayed in image control1 would be Car.jpg
And it is this value I wish to transfer to a text box for now will do more with it later
In addition to this I am not sure if the best idea is to have a number of image controls and load each with an individual picture or have one image control and swap the picture by clicking a command button
Example:....
i m wanting Cell B1 to display true if any of the values in column C match otherwise I want to display false.
A 1
B 0
C 0
D 0
But I can't determine how to get this done.
I am trying to display an image ("image") on an image control ("Image1") placed in a worksheet ("Sheet1"). The problem is that I want this action to take place when I press a button in a user form. I am trying to use the following code, but it seems that VBA does not recognize the image control ("Image1") in the worksheet.
Private Sub cmdDisplayImage_Click()
Dim image As Variant
image = ThisWorkbook.Path & "sun.jpg"
Sheets("Sheet1").Activate
Image1.Picture = LoadPicture(image)
End Sub

In Excel, I have a sheet for each team that I manage. Each sheet lists the team members and displays their picture below their names. Some people are on multiple teams/sheets.
I have a master list with everybody's name and picture that I copy and paste the pictures from when putting a team together. This has become a very tedious process.
Is there a way I can type the person's name on a team sheet and have their picture automatically appear below their name? I don't know if this can be done with some kind of lookup or if it will involve VB. I tried making the picture the background of an Autoshape or comment, but I could not figure out how to dynamically change the picture based on the name in a cell.
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.
