Default Macro help

Not sure how to understand 'based on value', but if A1 holds the
filename like 'MyPicture.JPG' then this should do it:

Sub Add_Picture()
Application.ScreenUpdating = False

MyPath = "C:\Temp\" ' Change to suit
PictName = Range("A1").Value
Picture1 = MyPath & PictName
ActiveSheet.Pictures.Insert(Picture1).Select
Selection.ShapeRange.LockAspectRatio = msoTrue
Selection.ShapeRange.Height = 175
Selection.ShapeRange.Width = 234

Application.ScreenUpdating = True
End Sub

Regards,
