Automatic jpg image file extraction

Copper Contributor

Hi, I have a list of parts in the first column. In a separate folder I have a jpg image for each part. I would like to create a system whereby if a specific part number is present in the first column it will automatically extract the corresponding jpg image from the folder and place it in a cell to the right of the first column. Likewise if a part is removed from the first column I want the corresponding image to be removed from the sheet. If this is possible then any assistance would be appreciated. Thanks in advance.

There is the simple possibility to do this via the comments.

Can also be taken from other folders with VBA, but it also takes time accordingly.
If you insert a graphic / image in a comment, it will be visible when you mouse-over.
Here is the installation description:
Cursor in cell with comment -
-> right mouse button
-> edit comment
-> right mouse button click on the edge of the comment field
(an art piece in itself)
-> Select Format Comment
-> colors and lines
-> DropDown color
-> fill effects
-> Graphics tab
-> select graphic

 

Example file inserted.

 

I would be happy to know if I could help.
