Can I display various Graphic Files based on Condition?
I have a dropdown list that I can choose from. The values on the worksheet
change depending on the choice. I want to also have a graphic that relates to each selection. (These are small room plans - EMF files). Is there any way I can link to different files based on a formula? Alternatively, I could insert all the EMF files (not as desirable, but acceptable) into the Excel file and have them called up based on the selection, or put them all on top of eachother and have them somehow all hide except for the selected one. |

Can I display various Graphic Files based on Condition?
I need to keep the main file VB free to avoid Security Settings issues, but I
do open a second file just to do batch printing with macros. So I can do what your link suggested during the batch printing, but people won't be able to see the result when they work in the file, just when it prints. I was afraid of this. Are there any other creative ways to solve this? Anything that could toggle the visibility of pictures, or load them from files based on a selection change?

Sorry, I don't know of any non-VB way of toggling a picture's
visibility, functions can't change a worksheet other than changing a cell's value. Ken Johnson |

I was afraid so. As a fine point, I would say conditional formatting let's
you do a lot more with formulas than just change the value of a cell. I live by conditional formatting. Is there any way Microscoft could consider building in something that would let me solve my problem? I will have to use VB in the mean time, but it is a very poor alternative for my application. Thanks very much. "Ken Johnson" wrote: Sorry, I don't know of any non-VB way of toggling a picture's visibility, functions can't change a worksheet other than changing a cell's value. Ken Johnson |
