​I've been trying out and testing different codes online but I can't get mine to consistently work.

The situation is this:

I want to be able to paste in a URL in Cell A1 so that in Cell B2, it will show the downloaded image from the link. The worksheet will be called "URL Report"

I'm having trouble understanding the exact objects and codes that can make this happen - I'm still pretty new to VBA

I've been using this code:
Code:

Excel Facts

When did Power Query debut in Excel?
Although it was an add-in in Excel 2010 & Excel 2013, Power Query became a part of Excel in 2016, in Data, Get & Transform Data.
Domenic said:
An alternative would be to first download the the file to a temporary folder using the XMLHTTP object, and then insert the file from there into Excel using the AddPicture method. So, as before, we would have the function URLExists to make sure the URL exists, and then we would have another function, SaveWebFile, to download the file into a temporary folder. Then, once it's inserted into the worksheet using the AddPicture method, the temporary file is deleted.

Code: 
Function URLExists(sURL As String) As Boolean

    Dim XMLReq As Object
    
    On Error GoTo ErrHandler
    
    Set XMLReq = CreateObject("MSXML2.XMLHTTP")
    With XMLReq
        .Open "GET", sURL, False
        .Send
        URLExists = (.Status = 200)
    End With
    
ErrHandler:
    Set XMLReq = Nothing
    
End Function

Code: 
'http://www.vbaexpress.com/kb/getarticle.php?kb_id=799

Function SaveWebFile(ByVal vWebFile As String, ByVal vLocalFile As String) As Boolean
    Dim oXMLHTTP As Object, i As Long, vFF As Long, oResp() As Byte
     
     'You can also set a ref. to Microsoft XML, and Dim oXMLHTTP as MSXML2.XMLHTTP
    Set oXMLHTTP = CreateObject("MSXML2.XMLHTTP")
    oXMLHTTP.Open "GET", vWebFile, False 'Open socket to get the website
    oXMLHTTP.Send 'send request
     
     'Wait for request to finish
    Do While oXMLHTTP.readyState <> 4
        DoEvents
    Loop
     
    oResp = oXMLHTTP.responseBody 'Returns the results as a byte array
     
     'Create local file and save results to it
    vFF = FreeFile
    If Dir(vLocalFile) <> "" Then Kill vLocalFile
    Open vLocalFile For Binary As [URL="https://www.mrexcel.com/forum/usertag.php?do=list&action=hash&hash=vFF"]#vFF[/URL]

Thanks a lot Dom - it works well!

One more thing

as I understand, the code translates all the URL links in a column.

Is it possible for me to specify to convert the image in only a specific cell, such as D6? I tried changing anything that specifies the range of cells in "A" in the code to "D6" but there are errors.

Thanks!

In that case, try the following instead...

Code: 
[FONT=Courier New][COLOR=darkblue]Sub[/COLOR] URLPictureInsert()
    [COLOR=darkblue]Dim[/COLOR] sURL [COLOR=darkblue]As[/COLOR] [COLOR=darkblue]String[/COLOR]
    [COLOR=darkblue]Dim[/COLOR] sTempFile [COLOR=darkblue]As[/COLOR] [COLOR=darkblue]String[/COLOR]
    sURL = Worksheets("URL Report").Range("D6").Value
    [COLOR=darkblue]If[/COLOR] Len(sURL) = 0 [COLOR=darkblue]Then[/COLOR]
        MsgBox "Cell is empty...", vbInformation
        [COLOR=darkblue]Exit[/COLOR] [COLOR=darkblue]Sub[/COLOR]
    [COLOR=darkblue]End[/COLOR] [COLOR=darkblue]If[/COLOR]
    [COLOR=darkblue]If[/COLOR] [COLOR=darkblue]Not[/COLOR] URLExists(sURL) [COLOR=darkblue]Then[/COLOR]
        MsgBox "URL does not exist...", vbInformation
        [COLOR=darkblue]Exit[/COLOR] [COLOR=darkblue]Sub[/COLOR]
    [COLOR=darkblue]End[/COLOR] If
    sTempFile = Environ("temp") & "\" & Mid(sURL, InStrRev(sURL, "/") + 1)
    SaveWebFile sURL, sTempFile
    ws.Shapes.AddPicture _
        Filename:=sTempFile, _
        LinkToFile:=msoFalse, _
        SaveWithDocument:=msoTrue, _
        Left:=rCell.Offset(, 1).Left, _
        Top:=rCell.Top, _
        Width:=100, _
        Height:=100
        Kill sTempFile
[COLOR=darkblue]End[/COLOR] [COLOR=darkblue]Sub[/COLOR][/FONT]

Hope this helps!

I put it in but I get an error after the ws.Shapes.AddPicture line with a run-time error Object required

Code:

Thanks Domenic! It all looks good!

One more question if you don't mind!

So everything that is coded above is based on the URL that is in cell value D6.

The cell value in D6 is going to change dynamically as I input data into my spreadsheet that will do a look-up.

Is it possible to design the code so that whenever I put in a new value in D6, the image will update automatically? Right now it only works if I F8 the code in VBA.

Furthermore, if I were to input a new value in D6, it should remove the previous image and insert the new one...is this possible?

Actually, that really changes things. In that case, you'll need to use a worksheet change event handler. You'll need to place this code in the code module for your sheet named "URL Report". So you'll need to right-click the sheet tab, select View Code, and place this code in the code module...

Code: 
[FONT=Courier New][COLOR=darkblue]Option[/COLOR] [COLOR=darkblue]Explicit[/COLOR]

[COLOR=darkblue]Private[/COLOR] [COLOR=darkblue]Sub[/COLOR] Worksheet_Change([COLOR=darkblue]ByVal[/COLOR] Target [COLOR=darkblue]As[/COLOR] Range)

    Application.EnableEvents = [COLOR=darkblue]False[/COLOR]
    [COLOR=darkblue]Dim[/COLOR] sURL [COLOR=darkblue]As[/COLOR] [COLOR=darkblue]String[/COLOR]
    sURL = Target.Value
    [COLOR=darkblue]If[/COLOR] Len(sURL) = 0 [COLOR=darkblue]Then[/COLOR]
        Target.Offset(, 1).Value = ""
        [COLOR=darkblue]Call[/COLOR] DeletePicture(Target.Offset(, 1))
    [COLOR=darkblue]ElseIf[/COLOR] [COLOR=darkblue]Not[/COLOR] URLExists(sURL) [COLOR=darkblue]Then[/COLOR]

Hi Domenic,

I pasted that into the module and when I ran it, I got an error with a subroutine not being defined - I figured it was the URLExists function, so I put this in before the sub:

Code: 
Function URLExists(sURL As String) As Boolean

    Dim XMLReq As Object
    
    On Error GoTo ErrHandler
    
    Set XMLReq = CreateObject("MSXML2.XMLHTTP")
    With XMLReq
        .Open "GET", sURL, False
        .Send
        URLExists = (.Status = 200)
    End With
    
ErrHandler:
    Set XMLReq = Nothing
    
End Function

Now when I run it, nothing happens!

First, make sure that you've placed the code in the correct module. Since "URL Report" contains your target cell D6, you need to place it in the code module for that sheet. So you need to right-click the sheet tab, select View Code, and paste the code in the code module.

Then, make sure that events are enabled. To check, enter the following line in the Immediate Window (Ctrl+G), and press Enter...

Code: 
? [COLOR=#333333][FONT='inherit'][I]Application.EnableEvents[/I][/FONT][/COLOR]

If it returns False, you'll need to enable events by entering the following line in the Immediate Window, and pressing Enter...

Code: 
[COLOR=#333333][FONT='inherit'][I]Application.EnableEvents = [/I][/FONT][/COLOR][COLOR=darkblue][FONT='inherit'][I]True[/I][/FONT][/COLOR]

Does this help?
