Thumbs up Answer: How can I link a picture to a particular cell in excel?

Steps to link a picture to a particular cell in Excel:
  1. Insert the picture you want to link into your Excel worksheet by clicking on the "Insert" tab in the ribbon, then selecting "Pictures" from the "Illustrations" group. Choose the picture you want to insert and click "Insert."
  2. Click on the picture to select it, then right-click and choose "Format Picture" from the context menu.
  3. In the "Format Picture" pane that appears on the right side of the screen, click on the "Size & Properties" icon (it looks like a paintbrush).
  4. In the "Properties" section, look for the "Alt Text Description" field. Type the cell reference you want to link the picture to in this field (e.g. "A1").
  5. Click "Close" to exit the "Format Picture" pane.
  6. Now, when you use the VLOOKUP function to pull up the picture, you can reference the cell that the picture is linked to. For example, if you linked the picture to cell A1, you could use the following formula to pull up the picture in another cell:
    Formula:
    =VLOOKUP("value",A1:B10,2,FALSE

That's it! Now you can link pictures to specific cells in Excel and use them in your VLOOKUP formulas.
