Hi everyone,

I'm not very good with this so please help if you can,
I'd like a macro that can insert a picture into cell r12

no heres what i'm thinking,
when the macro is run it open the instert picture dialogue box (preferable on my pictures!)
and you choose the picture you want and click on it to insert it into excel

now I would like to move the picture so it sits where cell r12 is and sizes itself to that cell
please help if you can
thanks
Tony
 

Excel Facts

Square and cube roots
The =SQRT(25) is a square root. For a cube root, use =125^(1/3). For a fourth root, use =625^(1/4).
Try this:

VBA Code:
Sub InsertPicture()
  Dim sPath As String
  Dim Pict As Picture
  Dim rng As Range
  
  sPath = Environ("USERPROFILE") & "\images"
  Set rng = Range("R12")
  
  With Application.FileDialog(msoFileDialogFilePicker)
    .Title = "Select pict"
    .InitialFileName = sPath
    If .Show Then
      On Error Resume Next: ActiveSheet.Pictures("pic_tem").Delete: On Error GoTo 0
      Set Pict = ActiveSheet.Pictures.Insert(.SelectedItems.Item(1))
      With Pict
        .Name = "pic_tem"
        .ShapeRange.LockAspectRatio = msoFalse
        .Top = rng.Top
        .Left = rng.Left
        .Width = rng.Width
        .Height = rng.Height
      End With
    End If
  End With
End Sub
