Hi All,

I recorded this macro, I was hoping it would copy a part number typed into "E4" navigate to the folder with all the part images and then paste the number into the search bar and then paste the image onto my sheet this works fine,

But as you can see the part number is recorded into the macro meaning I will only ever see this part number image, and changing the part number in "E4" will not make a difference,

Is it possible to create a macro that will perform what I'm trying to achieve, assuming you can see what I'm trying to do 😅

Thanks all,

VBA Code:
Sub Macro2()
'
' Macro2 Macro
'

'
    Range("E4").Select
    Selection.Copy
    ActiveSheet.Pictures.Insert( _
        "C:\Users\vmapp1\OneDrive\OneDrive - JAGUAR LAND ROVER\Pictures\parts\M8E2-279A70-AA.png" _
        ).Select
    Selection.ShapeRange.ScaleWidth 0.2671568627, msoFalse, msoScaleFromTopLeft
    Selection.ShapeRange.ScaleHeight 0.2671568593, msoFalse, msoScaleFromTopLeft
    Selection.ShapeRange.IncrementLeft -169.5
    Selection.ShapeRange.IncrementTop 52.5
    Range("E6").Select
End Sub
 

Excel Facts

Links? Where??
If Excel says you have links but you can't find them, go to Formulas, Name Manager. Look for old links to dead workbooks & delete.
So you want to write a valid and known picture name in E4 and have that picture inserted in E4; if this is correct try replacing your initial 3 lines with the following:
VBA Code:
    Range("E4").Select
'    Selection.Copy        'Useless, may be removed
    ActiveSheet.Pictures.Insert( _
        "C:\Users\vmapp1\OneDrive\OneDrive - JAGUAR LAND ROVER\Pictures\parts\" & Range("E4").Value & ".png").Select
In case you write the complete name & file extension in E4, then you have to remove that & ".png" from the instruction

Try...
