This is what I have so far, totally contradicting what I thought I would have by now. Getting feedback from people who know a thing or two about Excel is still a much needed stimulation at the end of the day.
I guess I'm a sucker for using Tables, the formulas come out so nice with all the correct ranges! Especially when using things like COUNTIF that covers the whole column.
I'm sorry for being boring and not posting a workbook. It is rather big and links back and forth so peeling of the unnecessary (and potentially sensitive parts) seemed like to much work right now. Sorry!
More correctly there are three columns. The B column is populated by VBA (actually list of files in a folder). The A column just extracts the name without filename extension, the other one checks for doubles (someone may put in the same pic name in jpg and png). Not the most crucial function now that I think about it...
So what I do is delete all rows except the top data row and header. I then clear the last data in cell B2 which leaves me with an empty table that will automatically copy down the adjacent formulas.
Still, I'm only semi happy with how it turned out. If anyone wanna shoot some wholes in my grand plan, feel free. Or just comment about this whole Table thing. Are they slow or something or way is it that it does not seem that popular?
