    Question Picture Lookup in Excel problem

    I am trying to do a picture lookup in Excel using Index and Match function.

    I have copied any of the cell that has logo in it and paste it on cell E3.

    I've pressed Ctrl F3 (Name Manager) and created a new name for cell E3 which is MobileLogo.
    The formula bar at the bottom of Name Manager I entered :
    =INDEX(Sheet3!$C$3:$C$6,MATCH(Sheet3!$F$1,Sheet3!$A$3:$A$6,0))

    How can I make the picture changed when I select the respective product name in cell F1 ?

    Kindly see the attached Excel file which I partially created which I hope anyone can help me to solve the problem that I faced.

    My email is yjohari@msn.com.

    You can replace indirect which is used here with index & match in name manager I just kept the picture column second


    You need to first select the cell where you want to keep the pic lookup. Then go to insert select object and then select bitmap images. Now when bitmap is selected you can resize and in formula bar you can keep the defined name.

    Hi,

    Thanks for the answer. But can you teach me the steps on how to make this things happen. I tried click on cell E3 and try to rename in the formula bar but I just cannot make it happen.

    Re: Picture Lookup in Excel problem

    What I did
    1)in A2 type Product In B2 Type Pictures In C2 Type Price and set the data.
    i.e. Column A3 toA6 are Products. Column B3 to B6 are logos and Column C3 to C6 are Prices
    2)Now select A3 to B6 then hold control and shift together and hit F3.
    3)This will open a window "Create Names from Selection" select the second option which is left column.
    4)Now go to name manager or Press Shift and F3 together click new in name box type any name like Pic_lookup and in the formula bar at the bottom copy paste =INDIRECT(Sheet3!$F$1)
    5)Select E3 go to insert---> and click Object from object Menu select Bitmap Image. Once you click bitmap image it will insert a box. Then resize the box to fit in cell E3. When box is clicked go to formula bar and type =Pic_lookup.
