    What i meant is, when i select a dropdown list of name (data validation), it will show a picture based on list i pick from dropdownlist (data validation), but the picture is at the chart. like an autoshape lookup, but it is chart.

    fyi: the picture already named like list at data validation

    for clear explanation:
    when i pick "apple" from data validation then the chart changed to an apple picture
    when i pick "orange" from data validation then the chart changed to an orange picture

    There are instruction inside the file.

    Basically you need a xy-scatter chart with a series that has enough data points to hold each picture as a custom marker.

    You use copy+paste to apply each picture to a specific data point.

    You then use formula to display 1 of the points/pictures inside the charts plotarea. The others are all positioned off the plot area.
