    Red face Showing image when name selected from drop down list

    Hi Everyone, i am a relatively new excel user and this is my first post here. I have created a comparison sheet which has 3 drop down menus and this populates the cells with the correct data using VLOOKUP. Ideally i would like to show the image of the printer also when selected. I have read around online and tried various things but i cant get it to work. I would be very grateful if someone could take the time to check it out for me. I assume a macro could do this but I am really not sure where to start.

    i couldn't get it to attach so i have included a link. http://www.filedropper.com/dropdowntest1-1

    many thanks

    Thank you for the reply. I can get it to add the first picture but then i cannot use the drop down list to change it. i am probably doing something wrong. thanks for looking and hopefully this is going in the right direction!

    many thanks

    Hi, patel45,

    why donīt you attach the working xlsm workbook with your code included? That could be the best of all solutions.
