    Embedding files in a cell?

    I am trying to see if it is possible to put a numberic value in a cell and have the same cell link to a file.

    Example: I have an expense column. I spend 20 bucks. I want to put a PDF or doc file of the receipt with the entry. I know I can scan it or link to it via a hyperlink, but I was trying to see if I could do it without a hyperlink.

    Any help would be apperciated.

    That replaced my dollar value and replaced it with the embedded file.

    I guess I can use drop box to store my scanned or PDF files and make them a hyperlink. That works. But it is a bit time consuming for it to go to the internet data storage site to download the file. But it works.
