Picture LOOKUP (Image Lookup) in Excel using Formulas

it says that the reference is invalid😢😢

Thanks for your help. The pictures came over to the new document as you described, however when I made the new document into a PDF / print fille the pictures were not visible. Can you help?

How to make it works if the dataset is in another xlsx file ? Is it possible ?

can you do this for multiple rows? Also, what if the validation list is blank or you delete the lookup value? thx

I've spent AGES trying to get this to work. Kept getting "Reference isn't valid" error. So others don't experience this frustration...The whole thing needs to be on the SAME WORKSHEET. If you are referring to named range that is on a DIFFERENT worksheet, this method will not work. Thanks.

Getting Error Reference is not Valid

Christ, old excel use to just automatically snap an image and you could resize in cell....

I've watched this 100 times and still get an error "This formula is missing a range reference or a defined name" EVERY TIME!!! So frustrated!

I now have a very useful, compact order form with lookup images! Who knew?!. Thanks for the trick!

Once I figured it out....Perfect results! THANKS!!! Worked like a charm! (I had to put the data used on the same sheet as the picture. I was trying to pull data from another sheet, and not having any success.)

Ultimate tutorial on Picture look up in MS Excel. I linked so much. It has cleared all doubts related to picture lookup.

Thanks a lot. The only challenge I have with picture lookup is removing the background and border without losing the picture quality. I can't seem to get around this.

hi, can you do this with gif?

THANKS A LOT SIR

Why should Arsenal on top? I can't find this team in EPL standing. Don't know where...

Do you know why my 'linked picture' looks cropped?

thank you!

Hey can anyone offer any help? Im trying to link my active x buttons to display a certain logo on a dashboard that i am creating.

This worked perfectly for what I needed! Great explanation as well!! One upgrade I had to create was using an INDIRECT function within this formula because the cell I was referencing wasn't one with a drop down menu (It was actually a cell with a formula that was dependent on a few other inputs). Basically, I wanted the final results of the formula (within the cell) as a trigger for the picture I wanted displayed.


So...within the formula you have, right after the MATCH function, I have an INDIRECT function for the cell I'm referencing. So instead of
"=INDEX($B$3:$C$22,MATCH($E$3,$B$3:$E$22,0),2)" .......I used "=INDEX($B$3:$C$22,MATCH(INDIRECT("$E$3"),$B$3:$E$22,0),2)"
This gives the "$E$3" cell the ability to be a variable cell with multiple different values, instead of a "data validation" list, and the quotes around the cell reference only takes the cell value.

Posted this in the hopes this may help others. :)

reference isnt valid.. i followed everything

Hi Great Video just what i needed. I am having an issue though with it returning the image from the cell i lookup. I can return text but no image. Can you please advise? I have basically pasted lots of images into the cells within the cell boundary, but still not returning an image. Thanks in advance for any assistance.

Dear Sumir, Thanks for the tutorial. Very interesting. Just one challenge,,, I tried it step by step and I could get the same result. I have to submit a dashboard on social media data (queries from FB, Twitter etc,) and therefore I want to use the icons instead of the names. Please help me? I have a table from 2019 Jan to date.... I look forward in hearing from you. Dashboard is due Monday, 10 Feb 2020

Sumit, Terrific trick and works like a charm. In my case the Names and Logos were on a separate sheet to my main worksheet within the same workbook and it worked first time. Have duplicated similar "lookups" in other workbooks/worksheets and they all work perfectly. Thanks, keep up the great tips.

Thank you ! However when I try to do that between 2 work sheets in the same document it doesn't work! Could You tell me how I can do it ? thank you so much.
