    VLOOK to return an image

    Hi

    I am wondering if there is a way of using a VLOOK (or other function) to return an image based on the data in an adjacent cell.

    To help explain i have atatched a spreadsheet.

    The desired result for this would be that the formula in cell F2 would return the Everton crest.

    logos.xlsx

    Is this sort of query possible?

    Re: VLOOK to return an image

    I have found a help guide thats seems to explain how to do it

    http://www.excelguru.ca/content.php?...P-for-Pictures

    However, when i get to the following bit, i cant get the picture to display the name... i have tried recreating the steps in the explanation over 20 times now and each time it doesnt work.. as you can see from the xl file, the pictures carry 'picture 1, picture 2 etc instead of the team name.

    Book1111.xlsx

    does anyone know what im doing wrong?

    is there a missing step in the explanation?
