    Excel 19 Mac - Lookup images with define name

    Hi,

    I'm having this problem with showing the given image fully instead only partly. (See picture belowe)

    Based on the name in D1, the below image change accordingly by using the formula: =INDEX(Sheet1!$B$1:$B$3;MATCH(Sheet1!$D$1;Sheet1!$A$1:$A$3;0))

    As you can see only the left top corner is taken with the "Define name" formula, although the original picture is perfectly centered within the cell.

    Any tips how I can solve this?

    The ideal result should be like this:

    Thank you

    Several motives my friend. It would help if you can upload the file.
    I already did this little experiment (Leila Gharani right? )

    What I can guess:

    -You didn't format your images to don't "Resize with cells" on the Format Page
    -When you did the Copy Step you copied a different sized flag/image (try deleting the right flag, and redoing)
    -You accidentally cropped your flag, and now every flag comes cropped.

    Looking forward to your feedback.

    Hmm, funny enough, its working just fine on my machine
    And I did nothing. So i'm safe to assume the problem is either Google Sheets/MAC

    what you can do to work around this problem, is to actually shrink your base images, like so

    And after that, crop them

    Thank you for your quick reply.
    I'm working with Excel 2019 on Mac, no google sheets.

    I tried the 3 steps you mentioned before, but still the same error occur. I also tried with Excel 2016 but still nothing.
    If it were the MAC, how can I fix this?

    I have a quick fix: Buy a Windows

    Just kidding

    If trying to resize, crop, don't let the picture format with the cells didn't work, I have no idea what could.
    It's hard to try to fix this if I don't have a MAC.

    Sorry.
