How to insert picture based on numeric value in another cell?

J

James Norton

Hi there,

I am trying to figure out how I can insert a picture (jpg) based on a number
in another box.

I have a database of over 1500 pictures at a pharmacy of the different meds.
The file name is always a DIN number and is unique to that medication (i.e.
0982_567252567.jpg). I don't know what the first 4 digits and underscore are
for and I would like to be able to ignore that.

So if I enter drug number 567252567 in box A1 - it will look for that string
(567252567) in c:\pics\ and insert that jpg (0982_567252567.jpg) into A2.

The good thing is that the number regardless of what is in front of it will
be unique.

The point of doing this is that we print out drug information for seniors.
When we type in the DIN number it will insert a picture of the pill they
need to take preventing medication errors.

Any help is most appreciated as always,

Best regards,

James Norton

Hi James

Try this code

Sub test()
Dim s As String, i As Integer
s = "c:\pics"
ActiveSheet.Range("A2").Select
With Application.FileSearch
..NewSearch
..LookIn = s
..SearchSubFolders = False
..Filename = "*" & ActiveSheet.Range("A1") & ".jpg"
..MatchTextExactly = True
..Execute
For i = 1 To .FoundFiles.Count
ActiveSheet.DrawingObjects.Delete
ActiveSheet.Pictures.Insert (.FoundFiles(i))
Exit For
Next i
End With
End Sub

Hi William,

Thank you so much for this code, it works very well and I wouldn't have been
able to do this without you.

Would you be able to help me accomplish one more thing with this task? As it
is now the image is inserted into the document to the full size of the
image. How can it be set to insert the image into that cell, and only to the
existing size of that cell.

Thank you,

James Norton

I should have mentioned this earlier also but I just noticed it. There is a
maximum possibility of 10 numeric lines, therefore there is the possibility
of 10 images per sheet. All these pictures will have a specific cell they
will be placed into based on the originating cell.

i.e. A1 numeric value will have the image placed in 11A
A2 numberic value will have the image placed in 11B etc. etc.

Thanks again for your help.

Note that the attribute

..MatchTextExactly = True

has nothing to do with the name of the file. It is used if you are looking
for a text string within the file.

Hi Tom

You are, unsurprisingly(!), quite right and that line of code should be
excluded from the sub.

Apologies to the OP.

Please post to the ng rather than me directly so others can follow the
thread.

I'm assuming you have a list of what you term "numeric lines" in A1 to A10
and you want the corresponding picture in B1 to B10.

Sub test()
Application.ScreenUpdating = False
Dim i As Integer, p As Picture, r As Range, c As Range, ii As Integer
ii = 0
Set r = ActiveSheet.Range("A1:A10")
ActiveSheet.DrawingObjects.Delete
For Each c In r
ii = ii + 1
If c <> "" Then
With Application.FileSearch
..NewSearch
..LookIn = "c:\pics"
..SearchSubFolders = False
..Filename = "*" & c & ".jpg"
..Execute
For i = 1 To .FoundFiles.Count
With ActiveSheet
Set p = .Pictures.Insert(Application.FileSearch.FoundFiles(i))
..DrawingObjects(p.Name).Left = .Columns("B").Left
..DrawingObjects(p.Name).Top = .Rows(ii).Top
..DrawingObjects(p.Name).Width = .Columns("C").Left - .Columns("B").Left
..DrawingObjects(p.Name).Height = .Rows(ii + 1).Top - .Rows(ii).Top
..DrawingObjects(p.Name).Placement = xlMoveAndSize
..DrawingObjects(p.Name).PrintObject = True
End With
Exit For
Next i
End With
End If
Next c
Application.ScreenUpdating = True
End Sub

Hi William,

My response to you directly was in error, my apologies to you and the group.

I am so happy with the code you did for me, it works wonderfully. I only
need to adjust one last thing and I could use your help.

I changed the range to reflect G5:G14 and it locates the images perfectly.
However the destination of the images will be B16:K16 and I haven't quite
figured out how to accomplish this.

If there is a number in G5 for example then the image will be placed in B16.
A number in G6 will place the image in C16....and so on. Numbers in the "G"
column will result in images being placed in the 16th row.

Thank you so much,

James Norton

Hi James

Glad to help.

The following assumes your "jpg" numbers are in the range G5 to G14 and the
corresponding pictures are to be placed in cells B16 to K16.

Sub test()
Application.ScreenUpdating = False
Dim i As Integer, p As Picture, r As Range, c As Range, ii As Integer
ii = 1
Set r = ActiveSheet.Range("G5:G14")
ActiveSheet.DrawingObjects.Delete
For Each c In r
ii = ii + 1
If c <> "" Then
With Application.FileSearch
..NewSearch
..LookIn = "c:\pics"
..SearchSubFolders = False
..Filename = "*" & c & ".jpg"
..Execute
For i = 1 To .FoundFiles.Count
With ActiveSheet
Set p = .Pictures.Insert(Application.FileSearch.FoundFiles(i))
..DrawingObjects(p.Name).Left = .Columns(ii).Left
..DrawingObjects(p.Name).Top = .Rows(16).Top
..DrawingObjects(p.Name).Width = .Columns(ii + 1).Left - .Columns(ii).Left
..DrawingObjects(p.Name).Height = .Rows(17).Top - .Rows(16).Top
..DrawingObjects(p.Name).Placement = xlMoveAndSize
..DrawingObjects(p.Name).PrintObject = True
End With
Exit For
Next i
End With
End If
Next c
Application.ScreenUpdating = True
End Sub

Hey guys, this formula is just for me, it could save me hours of work. But
it's not working. I put in the item # in cell F38, I want the picture in
Cell W8. Both cells are merged is this a problem? My pictures are in folder
My Pictures. Can you help pleaseeee?

Somehow you've doubled them. There should only be one dot before each of
these methods. See

"Using With Statements"

in XL Help.

I give up. What does "not working" mean?

Are you still getting syntax errors? run-time errors? wrong results? no
results? XL crashing?
