    Red face Linking Picture to Cell Value

    I'm a newbie so please bear with me if this has been asked and answered or if I'm posting in the wrong area.

    I'm trying to create a worksheet (worksheet A) that when I select a cell with a description (for example A1, A2, A3 have a description of a part) then cell C1 will show a picture of what was selected. I'm trying to do this by creating another worksheet (worksheet B) that will have all the pictures within it and have each picture associated with a cell. My thought process is that if picture 1 is = to cell B1 on worksheet B then on worksheet A I can write a macro that says if cell A1 is selected then C1=worksheet B (B1). Does this make sense? If so, how do I get the pictures linked to cells on worksheet B so that I can do this? Thank you in advance for any help that you can give.

    After searching for different keywords I think I found where this was asked by another member so I should be good...If I knew how to delete this post I would.

    I think this does what you want.

    The pictures sheet is where you put the pictures and give them their names. There is also a table on this page where you match part names to picture names.

    Cell B1 on the Order Sheet is *supposed* to be a drop-down validation only for some unknown reason the drop-down works once and then you have to save the worksheet if you want to make it work again. That is an issue I will troubleshoot some other time. This kind of thing works for me all the time in other worksheets.

    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.
