I tried this with success but may not apply for you.

Downloaded JE McGimpsey's lookuppics workbook from

Use the camera tool to take dynamic pictures of ranges then John's sheet code
and a DV dropdown to pop-up the various pictures, which remain dynamic, not
static.

hi, MP !

Does anyone have any other great ideas?

[it's only *wild-ideas*, but]...
i think you could define a [dynamic] name using desref(...) and others...
and *assign* that name [in the formula bar] to your pasted image [with camera tool]

sorry if i can not be more accurated, but i can't *see* from, where and what [tabs/ranges/rows/columns/...]
so... if any doubts [or further information]... would you please comment ?

Thanks, Hector. Actually, the cells I used the camera tool to create a
display are dependent on a dynamic range. Still, it won't let me put
that into a cell comment. I can do it if I create a static picture
from the range, but I need the live update capability of the camera
tool. Does that help?
