How to Do a Picture Lookup in Excel

Join 400,000+ professionals in our courses here 👉 link.xelplus.com/yt-d-all-cou...
Learn to quickly lookup images based on the value of a cell. Some people call this VLOOKUP on images. You can use this technique for company logos, employee pictures, flags - basically anywhere where you need to show different images based on the value of a cell.
⬇️ Download the workbook here: pages.xelplus.com/lookup-pict...
📊 What You'll Learn:
▪️ Dynamic Picture Lookups: Discover how to perform lookups on pictures, a unique and practical Excel feature.
▪️ Real-World Examples: Understand the concept through real-life examples, including a FIFA World Cup tool that updates country flags dynamically.
▪️ Step-by-Step Guide: Follow a detailed walkthrough on organizing images, formatting them correctly, and linking them to data.
▪️ Name Manager & Indirect Function: Learn to use Excel's Name Manager and the Indirect function to make image lookups dynamic.
▪️ Practical Application: See how this technique can be applied for various purposes, such as employee photos, sales manager pictures, or company logos.
You'll also learn a few other techniques here. For example:
1. How to work with Excel's picture tools (Crop images, align etc)
2. How to use Name Manager to assign names to cells and how to do it quickly with "Create from Selection" option
3. A little bit about the INDIRECT function (find out more with the below link)
4. How to link pictures to cells
