There's a 'background' button in the main 'page setup' toolbar. Presumably the 'format>sheet>background' thing was pre-2007.
Now my question is what image dimensions should I use to fill an A4 page? Does Excel have a specific dpi that I need to consider? I have Photoshop experience, I just need to know what Excel is looking for.
Excel 2010. I need to place picture into one cell or one big merged cell, as a background fill. picture must resize to size of cell. must be fixed in, not in front. i still need write into that cell, so it needs to be really background.
View 2 Replies View RelatedI'm working with a very large spreadsheet which has somehow divided itself into print areas. Each section has 'Page 1' or the equivalent as a background, behind the data itself. I thought it would be simple to remove this, but for the life of me I can't see how. I'm using Excel 2007.

I'm trying both "Development->Export" and "Save as->XML Data" procedures, but it always saves all data in the XLS document, not only the filtered. How can I obtain a new XML file with only filtered data???

I want the image in the background so I can edit cells with formulas on top of the image. Is there any way of manupilate the background image with Macro so I can have just on image instead of tiles?

In 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 ?

I would like to identify text cells of my document containing names of speakers in a conference with their nationality. I would like to do that by setting the background of the cell with the national flag of the country where the speaker comes from.
I tried to select the flag as an image and put it over the name with trasparency but then it result very not convenient to modify the text in the cell and the image makes the worksheet very heavy
I want to add an image to a sheet. The image is to print but I want the data from that sheet to go over the top. I can't seem to get the image behind my data.
View 6 Replies View RelatedI need to set a background as an image, but retain the cells so I can type in them individually (not using text boxes). This template will be used for automatically generated daily reports, so the cells have to be present. How can I retain the rows and cells as they are, but set an image behind them? Note: This isn't the header part of the header and footer, but the top of the document.

An example is attached.
I 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.
I was wondering if it is possible to make a picture box show a sheet from a pdf file?
I have a lot of pdf files with maps (all in one folder) which I need to be able to show the maps on excel by using a cell for the reference.
E.G: I type in Cell A1 = "Map1" then B1:D4 (merged Cells) shows the map from the PDF file Map1.pdf from the folder.
I need to add a background picture to a spreadsheet that only shows on the print area.
This spreadsheet is being used as a pro forma invoice that can be emailed to customers for them to view & print as required.
At the moment I can add a background image but this appears throughout the sheet and not in the place I need it to i.e. the print area.
My 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?
I 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...
I have this excel that look like this:
A1, B1, C1 contains an image with the numer 1, 2 and 3.
D1 is a cell where you can put only the number 1 2 and 3 (alert if you insert something else)
E1 have to contain the number in the D1 written with letters (I did this with the formula: =IF(D1=1;"One";IF(D1=2;"Two";IF(D1=3;"Three";"Wrong Imput")))
F1 have to contain the image from the A1, B1, C1 corresponding to the number in D1
Now, how do I do this ? I read an article here, on this forum, about doing this. I know how to copy an image from A1, B1, C1 in F1, but I don't know how to make a formula to do this.
To copy an image from A1, B1, C1 I do this:
- I copy the cell (F1)
- I hold Shift key
- I go to Start -> Paste -> Click the little arrow -> Last option (Translated from my language I think It's Linked Image) -> I switch the formula in that cell to =A1 or =B1 or =C1 -> The image appears.
I really want to know how to do that thing. I saw that you can not use an IF formula in the linked image cell so I need another option.
By the way, I attached the excel. If you will open it, go to Item2 Spreadsheet. I'm using Excel 2010 now.
It is possible to link excel cell to a image and when need i can see it just typing in cell.

View 2 Replies View RelatedI'm trying to make a map of 14 regions where each region changes brightness depending on values in the worksheets. I think I've got this bit sorted. I'm planning on creating the map using a collection of tessellated shapes or images, and using VBA to alter the properties of each one to create a dynamic map.
The output of the individual maps from MapInfo, our GIS software, is in .png or .jpg. format, and come with a white background. Is there any way to either make the background transparent so multiple shapes can be tessellated effectively, or a way to crop the image to the area's border?
Either that, or does someone know a way to output from MapInfo in such a way to make this possible? (Granted, it's a long shot, but you can't blame a guy for trying...)
I want to apply a bottom page border in my excel file. The page border should be fixed, i.e. if you insert a row above the border then the border should not shift as well.

View 1 Replies View RelatedWhat I'm looking to do in Excel 2013 is have it so a specified cell loads an image based on the results of a range of cells.
For example:
If cell B1 = red
and cell B2 = up
and cell B3 = yes
then cell A5 shows image X.
But then have it be comprehensive enough to do
If cell B1 = green
and cell B2 = down
and cell B3 = no
then cell A5 shows image Y.
My hangups are trying to get different images to load in the same cell. Also, all the examples of this I've found are pulling from one cell where I need it to display an image based on the results of multiple cells.

View 4 Replies View Relatedbuild a spreadsheet that reads information off of a Master sheet onto 4 other sheets. The hope is that by making changes ONLY to the Master sheet that the other 4 will update automatically.
And then we ran into the trouble of not being able to insert new lines onto the Master sheet without throwing everything off on the other sheets.
(I've attached an example.)
For instance, if I go to the Master sheet in the Test.xlsx attachment, I've left out Lima from the alphabet. So, I insert a new row onto the Master, switch back to the Formula sheet where it should (theoretically) just update the cells to display the new data.
Not so. The Formula sheet just skips the new A13 and keeps on going.
the primary one seems to be using Offset. Well, the coworker will be adding and deleting many, many rows over the course of the year, as it is a product log and we change our products often.
I used VBA codes to apply different passwords for different worksheets in a single excel workbook. They worked fine. Then i applied a password to the VBA code itself through the VBA project properties. Also worked.
But my problem is that, if any one enters a wrong password to open any of the worksheets, the VBA will open an error message window and when "end" option is clicked, the VBA code will open without any prompt for the password.Thus the entire purpose is defeated.
