Default how do I insert a picture using a formula?

I meant B2:K2 (not B1:K1 as previously stated)

Hi,

Thanks for getting back to me.

It's a good answer, but not quite what I'm looking for.

I'll explain exactly what I'm doing:

I'm studying Japanese and I'm wanting to create a spreadsheet which randomly
selects a number of images from the alphabet and then I'll test to see if I
can read them.

Let's say I copy and paste 45 images of Japanese symbols on to Sheet 2.

on sheet 1, cells A1:K1 contain a formula which shows random whole numbers
between 1 and 45 (these values change each time I press F9/re-calculate the
sheet)

on sheet 1, cells B1:K1 contain a formula which results in an image
depending on what value is shown in the cell above it.

So, whenever I press F9/recalculate the sheet, new images are instantly
placed in cells B1:K1 for me to try and read.

Hope that makes sense.

Thanks again,

AJ

Hi there,

Lets say in Sheet 2 I had pasted 3 pictures

On sheet 1:

A1=1
A2=2

Is it possible to put a formula in B1 that has this logic:

If A1=1 then show picture 1, otherwise show picture 3

I doubt its possible, but you never know eh.



or, if I have 3 images saved on my harddrive, can I use a formula to show
the image in a spreadsheet without having to insert/paste it in?

Many thanks,

AJ
