include images based on cell content

[KevinJones]

Here is what I have:
I have a folder with 1000 pictures.
I have an excel file containing the file names of the 1000 pictures, and some more -irrelevant- details.

I'd like to have a comment for each cell with the file name, and the comment should be displaying the image corresponding with the filename.

You could compare my request with an image preview comment.

Is such a thing even possible in excel?

Really looking forward to your suggestions.

Hi Kevin,

I have tried this previously using images on a second tab within the same worksheet, and as far as I can remember it will work for a small amount of pics (about 10 seems familiar).

Sorry, but hopefully I'm wrong!

Would it be possible to describe this a bit more detailed? I think I get the basics, but a bit more detail would be nice.

Thanks. This might help, however, I have to many pictures to do this manually.
