    Embedded images auto update

    Hi guys,

    sorry for any stupid questions/wording upfront - I am not the most expert user in Excel.

    I have an Excel Sheet and I want to have certain images embedded on one sheet - no fancy embedding such as fixed to a cell etc. They should simply be displayed on the sheet. The images are in a specific folder which will never change.
    I want to use that file to review certain images from log files, i.e. I want to exchange the pictures in the root folder (of course with same name etc) everytime I look at a new log. That being said the file should either load the new images upon startup or upon refreshing.
    Simply pasting the images does of course not work - I tried it with image boxes but it also didn't work (although I have to say I have no clue what I did there).

    Can someone help me here please?

    Thanks!

    Try this.

    Select Insert -> Pictures

    Navigate to where your pictures are and select the picture.

    Then click on the down arrow next to the insert. One of the options is to Link to file.

    The picture will refresh on opening the file. I haven't figured out a non-VB method to refresh the image "live."
    One spreadsheet to rule them all. One spreadsheet to find them. One spreadsheet to bring them all and at corporate, bind them.

    A picture is worth a thousand words, but a sample spreadsheet is more likely to be worked on.
