Hallo everyone! I'm a total VBA noob (I started learning yesterday)... I need to import something like 450 images into Excel.
I have a column with a series of Type Marks (CHA001, CHA002, STO001....) starting from cell A1. I need to import images with the same names (CHA001.jpg, CHA002.jpg, STO001.jpg...) into the neighbouring cells, in column B.

I've tried a couple of different scripts, however, I don't have all the images and I think this is why my script is failing. I'm looking for a way to make VBA skip the cells which have no corresponding image and move on to the next one.

One option:
VBA Code:
Sub AddImages()

Dim i As Long
Dim ffePic As Picture
Dim imgLocation As String
Dim typeMark As String
   
Application.EnableEvents = False
Application.ScreenUpdating = False

For i = 2 To 459

typeMark = Worksheets("Sheet1").Cells(i, 1).Value
imgLocation = "C:\Users\Raina Armstrong\Pictures\JPEG\" & typeMark & ".jpg"

With Worksheets("Sheet1").Cells(i, 2)
Set ffePic = ActiveSheet.Pictures.Insert(ImageLocation)
Set CellLocation = ActiveSheet.Cells(i, 2)

    ffePic.Top = CellLocation.Top + (CellLocation.Height / 2) - (ffePic.Height / 2)
    ffePic.Left = CellLocation.Left + (CellLocation.Width / 2) - (ffePic.Width / 2)
    ffePic.ShapeRange.LockAspectRatio = msoTrue
    ffePic.Placement = xlMoveAndSize
    ffePic.ShapeRange.Height = 100

End With

Next

Application.EnableEvents = True
Application.ScreenUpdating = True

End Sub

Another:
VBA Code:
Sub AddImages()

For Each r In rng
    fName = Dir(fPath)
    Do While fName <> ""
        If fName = r.Value Then
            With ActiveSheet.Pictures.Insert(fPath & fName)
                .ShapeRange.LockAspectRatio = msoTrue
                .Top = r.Offset(0, -2).Top
                .Left = r.Offset(0, -2).Left
                If .ShapeRange.Width > Columns(2).Width Then .ShapeRange.Width = Columns(2).Width
                Rows(r.Row).RowHeight = .ShapeRange.Height
            End With
        End If
        fName = Dir
    Loop
Next r

Application.ScreenUpdating = True
Application.ScreenUpdating = True

End Sub

Any help here would be greatly appreciated!
 

Excel Facts

What did Pito Salas invent?
Pito Salas, working for Lotus, popularized what would become to be pivot tables. It was released as Lotus Improv in 1989.
In the first macro add these lines on either side of the With .... End With block:
VBA Code:
If Dir(imgLocation) <> vbNullString Then


End If
In this line:
VBA Code:
Set ffePic = ActiveSheet.Pictures.Insert(ImageLocation)
ImageLocation is undefined - change it to imgLocation. Always use Option Explicit so the compiler finds these type of errors.
