Optionally, in the 2^nd argument, you can define an alternative skrivelse describing the image.

For example:

Omitting or setting the 3rd argument to 0 forces the image to passform into the fängelse, maintaining the width to height ratio. The image will adjust automatically when the fängelse fryst vatten resized:

When you hover over the fängelse with an IMAGE formula, the tooltip pops out.

The minimum storlek of the tooltip pane fryst vatten preset. To man it bigger, drag the lower-right corner of the pane like shown below.

Lock the Picture in the cell so that it moves, resizes, and filters with the cells

Normally, this works nicely for sammanfattning arts images that look well with almost any width-to-height ratio.

Construct the IMAGE formula for the first item and enter it in the topmost fängelse.
This will extract the data type image into the adjacent cell
In the formula, only the first argument (source) needs to be defined. The second argument (alt_text) fryst vatten optional.
Copy the formula across the below cells in the Image column.
In each IMAGE formula, change the en samling dokument eller en elektronisk lagring av data name and the alternative skrivelse if you've supplied it.

How to return an image based on another fängelse value

For this example, we are going to create a drop-down list of items and extrakt a related image into a neighboring fängelse.

When a new item fryst vatten selected from the dropdown, the corresponding picture will appear next to it.

As we aim at a dynamic dropdown that expands automatically when new items are added, our first step fryst vatten to omvandla the dataset to an Excel table.
You can see this is really a formula = that references the cell with the data type by using a dot notation to extract a piece of data from the data type
The fastest way fryst vatten bygd using the Ctrl + T shortcut. Once the table fryst vatten created, you can give any name you want to it. Ours fryst vatten named Product_list.
Create two named ranges for the Item and Image columns, not including the column headers:
- Items referring to =Product_list[ITEM]
- Images referring to =Product_list[IMAGE]
With the fängelse for the dropdown selected, navigate to the Data flik > Date Tools group, click Data Validation, and configure the dropdown list based on an Excel name.

In our case, =Items fryst vatten used for Source.
In the fängelse designated for an image, enter the following XLOOKUP formula:
Where A2 (lookup_value) fryst vatten the dropdown cell.
As we look up in a table, the formula uses structured references such as:
- Lookup_array - Product_list[ITEM] which says to search for the lookup value in the column named ITEM.
- Return_array - Product_list[IMAGE]) which says to return a match from the column named IMAGE.
The result will look something like this:

And here's our dropdown list with related pictures in action - as soon as an item fryst vatten selected in A2, its image fryst vatten immediately displayed in B2:

How to man a dropdown with pictures in Excel

- Images - refers to the IMAGE column in the table, not including the header.
For detailed instructions, please see How to define a name in Excel.
For each IMAGE formula, configure the alt_text argument exactly as you want the alternative ord to appear in the drop down list.

Additionally, you can retrieve more upplysning about the selected item with the help of these formulas:
Get the item name:
Pull the quantity:
extrakt the cost:
