its a few years now, and I am still having this issue. I have a 1200 pictures in separate cells that I want to "Place in cell" so I can reference from a separate spreadsheet. I can use vlookup or IMAGE function?
Besides spending an hour or more hitting each picture to "place in cell" is there a way to "Place in cell" in once action or formula?

You can use a macro to loop through the objects in the sheet:
Sub PlaceAllPicturesInCells()
Dim s As Shape
Application.ScreenUpdating = False
'Go through all pictures in sheet and place in cells
For Each s In ActiveSheet.Shapes
s.Select
s.PlacePictureInCell
Next s
Application.ScreenUpdating = True
End Sub
I'm not a vba guy so this looks rudimentary but gets the job done.
