How can we insert pictures into cells by matching cell values and picture names in Excel? For example, I have a list of product names in Column A, to quickly insert corresponding product pictures beside the names, the Match Import Pictures utility of Kutools for Excel can do you a favor.


Click Kutools Plus >> Import & Export >> Match Import Pictures. See screenshot:

Notes:

1. If there are no pictures' names matching any of the cell values, then no pictures will be inserted.

Hi, this one doesn't work on combined cells. Is it possible to make it available for combined cells?
Besides, I want the picture to be changed when I change the source cell.
If I edit Cat1 to Dog2 the picture should be changed automatically.

If anyone knows how I can do this, can you please help me?

Thanks

Hello, Engin,
Sorry, our current feature does not support cell merging.
As for how to change the corresponding picture based on the changes in the cell, we recommend that you use our picture drop-down list feature. With this feature, you can easily update the pictures based on the cell content. Please view the following article:

not great TBH, it populates a column of cells but by the time it gets to cell 100, they are no longer in the cell, they overlap slightly,and they aren't locked to the cell. So resizing cells screws it up. feels like a half finished fudge. waste of 49$

After you completed the match import function, how can you edit it? For example, when you need to switch photos, or you need to change the name of the column of excel worksheet?

Please extend this to all file types, not only pictures. "Match Import Files".
