Referencing Images Across Workbooks
Oct 22, 2008
I'm trying to get a system setup with a workbook acting as a reference document, sort of read only and on a separate server. Which is then referenced by another "working" workbook, no problem so far other than I want to be able to view/show images from within the main reference workbook in the destination working workbook. I want this to happen when a user inputs a code, it should populate a series of cells including showing a small jpeg of said item.
For example if I use the camera function it doesn't do as desired when the main reference workbook is not currently open.
I was hoping to avoid macro's or vb if at all possible.
I'm a bit of an Excel novice though have limited programming experience in other languages / applications. I'm also a complete novice when it comes to forums and threads etc. so excuse me if I mess up protocol at all.

I have this excellent code which I found on here that looks at the data in column A, looks at the data in column B & then returns the differences ie.
A_____________B_________C___________D______________E
John________Jimi_________________Not in A_______Not in B
Paul________Sporty________________Jimi____________John
George______Ginger________________Eric____________Posh
Ringo_______Scary_________________T-Bone__________Baby
Posh________Eric

I'm trying to set-up a costing system as follows:
Each job has it's own xls file, this is a list of manually input costs and a total cost at the bottom (total is the same Cell reference: G24) for all xls files. The xls file is named the same as the job - F0001, F0002 etc.
At the end of every month we then want to create a master list xls file for all jobs being invoiced that month. This is a list of all the jobs - F0001, F0002 etc. In Column A, and the corresponding cost totals in column B.
In the master file we want to be able to type in the job reference to column A (i.e. the file names of the single job files -F0001, F0002 etc) and have the corresponding total for that reference display automatically in Column B (i.e. Cell G24 from file F0001 will display in the master file cell B1, when 'F0001' is typed in cell A1).
Ideally the master file would display all the individual entries automatically, so no need to input the job references either - simply scanning the directory for the other files present and creating a list automatically in the master file, alternatively it can get the job reference from Cell A1 in the individual job files, instead of from the file name.

I have a workbook for each day recording energy usage from 52 meters,
I need to collate the data on a single workbook.
The only way i can think of doing it is to use the INDIRECT function but this will not work on closed workbook.
I need to sum the contents of B1:AW1 on the closed workbook and input that into a cell on the new sheet.
then repeated for B2:AW2, B3:AW3 up to B52:AW52 once this has been done the process needs to be repeated for 31 workbooks.
The end product should be 31 Columns (one for each day ini the last month) and 52 rown (one for each meter) and the total daily consumption for each meter (sum of column B:AW)

I'm trying to optimize code by avoiding activating other worksheets, but I'm running into a problem with a match function.
I'm using a workbook called "Template" and then opening another workbook called "DCP" and trying to use the match function to figure out what row data is on. I can get this first line of code to work:
HTML Code:
MatchedRowNumber = WorksheetFunction.Match(Combo, Sheets("Sheet1").Range("A:A"), 0)
However for that to work, I have to activate the other workbook. I want to avoid that and stay within the "Template" workbook. I think I need something like this:
HTML Code:
MatchedRowNumber = WorksheetFunction.Match(Combo, DCP.Sheets(DCPSheet).Range("A:A"), 0)
That one however doesn't work... looks like I have the wrong syntax.
Below is an excerpt for the code in case something is wrong with how I set the variables.
HTML Code:
Sub StockOrderByDCP()
Dim Template As Workbook
Dim DCP As Workbook
Dim MSS As Worksheet
Dim DCPSheet As Worksheet
[Code] ..........

csvFN = Application. GetOpenFilename(Title:="Select Location Contents csv file")
If csvFN = False Then
' They pressed Cancel
MsgBox "Stopping because you did not select a file"
Exit Sub
Else
Workbooks.Open Filename:=csvFN
Workbooks.OpenText Filename:= _

How to copy a formula (16 columns) from a workbook to another, without referencing the source workbook.
Some people are using tricks such as replacing the equal sign "=" for another character such as "^" then using replace all to put the equal sign back again... but this is too much trouble.

I have an Excel file that contains formulas that reference external workbooks on a shared network. Each month, I copy the column of formulas over to the next month's column. Then, to update the file path, I highlight the new column and do a Find-and-Replace, swapping the previous month's name for the current month. This practice works fine. The only thing is ... the "Open File" promptbox appears for each formula where I updated the file path (i.e. and this can be hundreds instances!). I wind-up having to choose the file from the exact same file path. It is an unnecessary, and annoying extra step to take.

I work for a small business and I'm in the process of creating a simple invoicing system. The only hang-up I've come across so far is rendering images. I want a thumbnail of the product to appear on the invoice, but haven't had any luck finding code or formulas online that solve my particular challenge.
So cells B26 and B27 are merged and contain the URL address to the image I want rendered. I would like to maintain the width of the column when the image is rendered, but the height can be extended to fit taller images. There is only one image per printed page (per invoice). The image will always be in column B, of course there will be several rows between those containing URLs/images. For example, the image will be in B26:27 on page one, B67:68 on page two, B108:109 on page three, and so on.
I have attached an example file to this post. Please note: the file is saved as .xls intentionally and any solution should be compatible with this format.
Invoicing Test_ozgrid.xls
solve this problem using either formulas or code

I have a list of values in excel that represent image numbers (IMG_0001 etc...) in column A (A1:A703); hence representing my 702 images. I am trying to hyperlink each single image to its respective image which is located on my usb key all in one go (I don't want to hyperlink one at a time as it would take me for ages). Is there an easy way to do that?

I am putting together two reports that involves a lot of photos (we're talking about two thousand each). I have figured out how to add the images to comments thanks to other posts on this site, but is there anyway to make this more automatic?
I found this code below, which seems to apply, but I just don't know enough about VBA to make it work, my only experiance with code is Flash's actionscript.

I have a cabinet quotation spreadsheet that offers 22 door styles. We never need to quote more than 6 or so. showing all 22 doors is impractical now. What I want to do is make 6 selections from 6 pull down menus (menues showing all 22 door styles). Upon making a selection for door 1, I want it's image to appear. Same for door selections 2 through 6.
I did find some code from McGimpsey & Assoctiates .......

i have a spreadsheet of my stock (300 items) that contains a header row for all information concerning each item.
what i want is a thumbnail image (120x78) of the product to appear for each product (pic is stored on HD or web)
(it is possible to show a hyperlink to the image from the web or from my computer in the cell, but it seems to be impossible to display the actual image instead, bizarre, i could care less if it is actually in the cell or not)
i have found some code that has worked for others in a macro, just not for me. thus my header row is now (csv style):
imagename, imagepath, image, porduct
B-CH01_thm , C:/etc etc,an image,B-CH01
B-CH02_thm, C:/etc etc,an image,B-CH02
etc
etc
etc
The code (i assumed was for a macro) that did nothing when i ran it is below, i dont want a fix for this code either, any solution that will actually work is all i am after!

You can place in cell something that looks like ComboBox and contains list of options that you can choose. I was wondering if there is a way to do the same but with icons/images instead of text? And i dont mean form just excel sheet.

I have a single column with more than 200.000 cells. In each cell there is a small image obtained from a website. There are four different images: red, orange, yellow and green . What I need is to replace all equal images by an equal string, such as (red square) =Q4, (orange square) =Q3 and so on, or, at least, place a string for each image type in an adjacent cell

I have been presented with an excel document, with image names in one column (e.g. 832005_001), and hyperlinks in another column [URL]
My goal is to export the hyperlinks in the excel document into a folder as images with the corresponding image names. Is this possible to do without manually opening each link and saving it in a document, and manually renaming each picture in accordance with its image name? (as there are over 4,000).

Trying to find a code which will insert all images into specified cells.
[url]
All of the images are in a single folder C:/My Documents/Pictures
All are .jpg images which contain the prefix EV_
ie: image1 is called EV_10020003.jpg
image2 is called EV_40B00001.jpg
image3 is called EV_C003001.jpg
etc.
Throughout my worksheet I have cells containing text of an image
ie: in F23 contains the text EV_40B00001
in G50 the text EV_C003001
etc...
My aim would be to use a command button to search through my worksheet (Sheet1) and load up each image to their corresponding cell.

I am in serious need of a macro that will search a folder for image names and replace them witha determined image name col. If this is possible it would be a live saver.
For an example
Skus.................Image Name from File (Imported)........Renamed Image
725564..............725564.jpg.................................."Text that I insert"
894646..............atol-894646.jpg............................"Text that I insert"
713246..............713246-atoll.jpg..........................."Text that I insert"
So baically I need images to be searched by sku and replaced with determined image name from a different column.

I have about 20,000 hyperlinks in my excel sheet that I would like to assign to individual images.
For example, how do I link an image in cell A2, using a hyperlink from cell B2?
I know that if I wanted to simply hyperlink text, I would use =HYPERLINK(B2,"text"), but this reference won't work for images.
I also know I can right click on the image and insert a hyperlink that way, but this obviously isn't practical because I am working with over 20,000 links.

The script it's almost all complete and it'already working. How works this script:
From the Combobox_click i load a txt file, the script from the txt file get only the first column of the file. Its a list of numbers.
When this list of code numbers it's loaded in the Combobox_click, for each code number in the image combo box there is a one corrisponding image. For the images folder in the cell J2 the is a one Path reader. the scrip work perfectly.
What i need:
As you can see, under the image combo box, there is a SpinButton.
I need that by clicking the Forward or Back button i can go forward or back of the images list.

In short, I have a userform that allows users to select a group ID (Branch number) and a Bio of the manager and several data trends for that branch are displayed. I have been asked to add an image of the Branch Manager to the form.
I can get it to work when I have the images saved to a network or local drive, but I have to post the workbook to our SharePoint system. That means that I have to reference a group of images on SharePoint, which is where I am having the problem.
It keeps giving me a "Run-time error '75": Path/File access error" when I attempt to pull from the SharePoint data.
I suspect that it may be some sort of security issue, but I cannot think of a way to test that out completely.
So far, the code looks like this:
Private Sub get_picture()</SPAN></SPAN>
Dim EmpFound As Range
Dim FileNameBSM As String
With Range("bsm")</SPAN></SPAN>

Column A, has image file names. We want to insert corresponding images in Column B
The images are in a folder. We would like to know if there is formula/procedure which will lookup the filename and grab that image from the folder and insert into Column B. The images size in the folder are 500x500 pixel, we would like the inserted images to be reduced to 30% of the original size.

I have in a Useform 4 OptionButtons. This is working Ok to a point. My Question is, I have 12 images. I like to show a particular image depending on what option is choosen. As of right now if Optionbutton1 is selected. The right image is shown. But if 2 OptionButtons are selected the wrong image can be shown. So, it leads me to think I need and if or statment in the code? If so how can this be done in a example.
Private Sub OptionButton1_Click()
ActiveSheet.Unprotect
If OptionButton1.Value = True Then Sheets("HAAS INT. NPT THD. 1 PASS").Range("E10") = "M03" '= CW RH HAND THREAD
If OptionButton1.Value = True Then Me.Image2.Visible = True 'Conventional Int. Left Hand
If OptionButton1.Value = True Then Me.Image3.Visible = False 'Climb Int. Left Hand
If OptionButton1.Value = True Then Me.Image4.Visible = False 'Climb Int. Right Hand
If OptionButton1.Value = True Then Me.Image5.Visible = False 'Conventional Int. Right Hand
ActiveSheet.Protect
End Sub

My goal is probably very simple, but I knowledge is not enough to achieve that.
What I need is to have those two tables to interact with each other. One is a numeric table and the other an images table. Each number is linked to an image, somewhere on my HD, that should display automatically on the table on the right. I made a draft of the two tables, so you can see exactly what I want. All images, about 50, are the same size 128x128 px.
I must be able to change those numbers on the left table, having the images on the right table reflecting those changes. How can I achieve that goal? Can someone explain me that on detail, or is asking too much? I'm not very good at excel, just a regular user.
Here is the draft sheet.
Microsoft Excel - Images_Table.xls___Running: 11.0 : OS = Windows XP (F)ile (E)dit (V)iew (I)nsert (O)ptions (T)ools (D)ata (W)indow (H)elp (A)boutB10=BCDEFGHIJKLMNOP21234567 Pic1Pic2Pic3Pic4Pic5Pic6Pic7311121314151617 Pic11Pic12Pic13Pic14Pic15Pic16Pic17421222324252627 Pic21Pic22Pic23Pic24Pic25Pic26Pic27531323334353637 Pic31Pic32Pic33Pic34Pic35Pic36Pic37641424344454647 Pic41Pic42Pic43Pic44Pic45Pic46Pic47751525354555657 Pic51Pic52Pic53Pic54Pic55Pic56Pic57861626364656667 Pic61Pic62Pic63Pic64Pic65Pic66Pic67Folha1 [HtmlMaker 2.42] To see the formula in the cells just click on the cells hyperlink or click the Name boxPLEASE DO NOT QUOTE THIS TABLE IMAGE ON SAME PAGE!

Is there a code you can type in to VBA to allow a picture in a spreadsheet to change when a parameter is specified. For example i have a picture of a timber beam i drew in excel. and i wondered if i could set it up so that when the user inputs the length of beam they are using, the diagram alters to show the length specified.
