Hey,

I have this VBA code that works as a Vlookup with images. However, it only works when I manually enter data in the cell. When pasting values of a whole range of data (or even a single cell value), the Vba code doesn't trigger. Kindly help. I am not much experienced in VBA, and I got this code from stackoverflow, so it's really hard to figure out.

VBA Code: 
Private Sub Worksheet_Change(ByVal Target As Range)
    
    Dim wsM As Worksheet, wsOf As Worksheet, sh As Shape, shp As Shape, strSKU As String
    Dim sHeight As Double, sWidth As Double, rngProduct As Range, i As Long
    
    On Error Resume Next
    If Target.Value = "" Then Exit Sub
    If Target.Column = 1 Then
        If Target.Cells.Count > 1 Then MsgBox "This code works only for a single cell (in column A:A) modification)!": Exit Sub
        Set wsM = Worksheets("Sheet1")  'use here your master sheet
        Set wsOf = Me                   'the active sheet (this one)
        'find the product code introduced in the offer sheet:
        Set rngProduct = wsM.Range("A:A").Find(What:=Target.Value, After:=wsM.Range("A1"), LookIn:=xlValues, LookAt:=xlWhole)
        If rngProduct Is Nothing Then MsgBox "No product """ & Target.Value & """ found in the master sheet": Exit Sub
        
        'Copy the fields brought until now using Vlookup:
        Application.EnableEvents = False
         For i = 2 To 21 'it copies the next three columns after B:B. If more columns necessary to be copied, increas from 4 to  necessary
              Target.Offset(, i).Value = rngProduct.Offset(, i).Value
         Next i
        Application.EnableEvents = True
        
        'format C:C column as text (even aleready having numbers formatted as scientifique:
        Me.UsedRange.Columns(3).EntireColumn.TextToColumns FieldInfo:=Array(1, 2)

        For Each sh In wsM.Shapes 'iterate between master sheet shapes:
             If TypeName(sh.OLEFormat.Object) = "Picture" And sh.Name = Target.Value Then 'if its name is the searched SKU and is a Picture
                     sh.Copy:                     'copy  the necessary shape
                    Application.Wait Now + TimeValue("00:00:01")
                    wsOf.Paste
                    Set shp = wsOf.Shapes(wsOf.Shapes.Count) 'set the last copied/created shape
                                      
                     sHeight = shp.Height: sWidth = shp.Width 'extract initial height and width
                    
                     'determine which dimension should be diminished, to be sure that both of them are inside the cell:
                     If shp.Height < Target.Offset(, 1).Height And shp.Width < Target.Offset(, 1).Width Then
                                If shp.Height > shp.Width Then

That macro is a bit of a hot mess. When you see an On Error Resume Next statement as the very first statement right after variable declarations, it is never a good sign. The code does execute if you paste, but errors out which is being hidden from you by the On Error Resume Next statement so that it only seems like it does not trigger.

Anyway, the code specifically says it won't work if you modify more that one cell at a time:
VBA Code: 
MsgBox "This code works only for a single cell (in column A:A) modification)!": Exit Sub

Pasting just one cell will work, if the value does not trigger an error. You can see for yourself by removing the On Error Resume Next statement.

The On Error Resume Next code was added by me purposely, cuz it always shows an error whenever I paste multiple values on (A:A), delete multiple values on (A:A) or any other range of cells, so I just added this code to not show any errors. If I remove this code and execute by pasting multiple cell values, then I get a run-time error'13' Type mismatch and clicking on debug leads to the forth line of the VBA code If Target.Value = "" Then Exit Sub.

I understand, but is there any workaround for this? I also made a small video so you will get an idea how it works for now. Right-now, I removed the On Error Resume Next code and you can see it shows the same error, whenever I paste multiple cell values on (A:A) or delete multiple cell values. Link to video (imgur).

You could end up with a lot of message boxes popping up if you paste a lot of values. I suspect that would be quite annoying...

But it would work right? If it works and the 'message boxes popping' is the only problem, then I guess it could be solved by disabling all message pop-ups in vba?

Yes. Untested, but something like:

Wow!! This works perfectly!! Thank you so much.
I have one more small request. Is there any way for the vba to copy the rows formatting (including the row size) to the other rows below, wherever the cell value is present on (A:A)? For example, if you have seen my video I posted before, the formatting was only till Row 6, so if have a range that's more than that, and I paste that in (A:A), so will it be able to copy the formatting to all the rows wherever the value at (A:A) is present and then the vlookup runs? The reason why the formatting should be done first before vlookup is because the image will be fitted in the cell according to the cells initial size. I hope you get my point.

Nevermind, I figured it out. In case, anyone want's the code for this -
VBA Code: 
 Application.EnableEvents = False
   If Not Intersect(Target, Range("A:A")) Is Nothing Then
      Dim LR As Long
    LR = Range("A1000").End(xlUp).Row

    Range("A3").Rows("1:1").EntireRow.Select
    Selection.Copy
    
    Range("A3:A" & LR).Rows.EntireRow.Select
    Selection.PasteSpecial Paste:=xlPasteFormats, Operation:=xlNone, _
    SkipBlanks:=False, Transpose:=False
                
    End If
                
    Application.EnableEvents = True


Thanks a lot!
