    Add camera button / take picture and embed image within specific cell(s)?

    Hi there.

    I use excel checklists to do asset inspections regularly, and have numerous comprehensive excel templates for each asset type.

    To date its been a case of going through the form and taking pictures separately on a camera/phone, then once complete it's a laborious task cross referencing the images to the specific checklist item and creating a report!

    I realise my desire may be unachievable, however wondered if anyone could advise if it is indeed possible to have a column within the checklist next to each item where it allows selection of the camera within the tablet/ipad being used for the inspection to be pressed, which then inserts the image into that or an adjoining cell on the same row? This being repeated throughout the form.

    Many thanks i advance for any advice.

    It sounds like you want to take a picture of some sort of inventory item and then store the image next to the name of that item in a checklist in an Excel file.

    The short answer is that this cannot be done from Excel on a mobile device. This kind of task requires VBA, which is not available on mobile devices. It might be possible by developing an external app, but that is something beyond the scope of this forum. (Even if you wanted to do it on a desktop machine you would have to have some sort of device drivers callable from VBA to access the camera, which requires a bit of programming knowledge.)
