I am fairly certain this is not possible within basic excel functionality,
but it can be achieved through VBA.

Here is a url for a bloke that has managed what you want - it may need
modifying depending on your specific requirement.

Post back and I may be able to modify it for you if you define what you
need.........

Anyway, here is the code to do this in VBA (it assumes that the picture

name comes from the cell text):





Sub AddPictureToComment()

Dim rng As Range

Dim shp As Comment



Set rng = ActiveCell



If Not rng.Comment Is Nothing Then

rng.Comment.Delete

End If



If rng.Text < "" Then

Set shp = rng.AddComment("")

shp.Shape.Fill.UserPicture rng.Text

End If



End Sub

I would like to put a picture in the comment box of a cell. Is it at all
possible to do in Excel? Any help would be fabulous. Thanks
