Use a Macro to Insert Pictures in Excel
In order to use a macro to insert pictures, you must begin with the following assumptions: picture names are found in col B starting at B2; you want to paste each picture at different location; where to paste the picture identified in col B is found in col C starting at C2.
Now, enter the following code:
Sub Picture()
Dim picname As String
Dim pasteAt As Integer
Dim lThisRow As Long
lThisRow = 2
Do While (Cells(lThisRow, 2) <> "")
'Range("A6").Select 'This is where picture will be inserted
pasteAt = Cells(lThisRow, 3)
Cells(pasteAt, 1).Select 'This is where picture will be inserted
'Dim picname As String
'picname = Range("B6") 'This is the picture name
picname = Cells(lThisRow, 2) 'This is the picture name
ActiveSheet.Pictures.Insert("C:\Users\vbayat\My Documents\vidabayat\re-market\" & picname & ".jpg").Select 'Path to where pictures are stored
'''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''
' This resizes the picture
'''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''
With Selection
'.Left = Range("A6").Left
'.Top = Range("A6").Top
.Left = Cells(pasteAt, 1).Left
.Top = Cells(pasteAt, 1).Top
.ShapeRange.LockAspectRatio = msoFalse
.ShapeRange.Height = 100#
.ShapeRange.Width = 80#
.ShapeRange.Rotation = 0#
End With
lThisRow = lThisRow + 1
Loop
Range("A10").Select
Application.ScreenUpdating = True
Exit Sub
ErrNoPhoto:
MsgBox "Unable to Find Photo" 'Shows message box if picture not found
Exit Sub
Range("B20").Select
End Sub
