Hi,

I have an Excel spreadsheet that has a column with hyperlinks to image files in one column. I'd like to insert the actual images into a separate column in the spreadsheet. I found a way to do it by inserting a comment and "filling" the background of the comment with the image. But that is not ideal, nor automatic. I'd like to be able to run a macro that that insert the images into the file, but I am not good with VBA. I haven't been able to understand other examples I've found on the web.

Thank you!!

1. First of all. I am assuming that all of your Graphic Files are small (such as Logos) and of the same Dimensions.
2. I am also assuming that the Graphic Files will be inserted into Column D of the corresponding Hyperlinks.
3. The process would be as follows:
   
   1. Define your Range containing the Hyperlinks (for this Demo - Worksheets("Sheet1").Range("A1:A20")).
   2. Loop thru every Cell within the Hyperlink Range.
   3. Select Column D in the same Row as the found Hyperlink.
   4. Apply the Insert Method to the Cell in Column D.
   5. Insert the actual Graphic as reflected by the Value Property of the Cells in the Range A1:A20.
   6. Scale the Width and Height of the Graphic, if necessary, being sure to anchor the Top Left Corner. You will need to define your own Scaling Factor (in this Demo I used .2).
4. Code Definition:
   
   CODE
   Dim rng1 As Excel.Range
   Dim rng2 As Excel.Range
   
   Set rng1 = ActiveWorkbook.Worksheets("Sheet1").Range("A1:A20")
   
   For Each rng2 In rng1
     With rng2
       If rng2 <> "" Then
         .Offset(0, 2).Select
         .Offset(0, 2).Insert
          ActiveSheet.Pictures.Insert(.Value).Select
       
         Selection.ShapeRange.ScaleWidth 0.2, msoFalse, msoScaleFromTopLeft
         Selection.ShapeRange.ScaleHeight 0.2, msoFalse, msoScaleFromTopLeft
       End If
     End With
   Next
5. This Code has only been tested minimally, but appears to have promise. I'll let you take it from here .
6. Hope this helps.
