I assumed that the shapes would work the same as your pictures do, but perhaps I was wrong. The arrow I copy and paste as you did at the end of the video does not change, or not that I can see when I select another choice in my drop down list. So when the FMC is selected I want to appropriate colored arrow to pop. Green Up Arrow = FMC, Blue Up Arrow = PMC, and a Red Down Arrow = NMC. Instead of pictures I am trying to utilize shapes, color coded up and down arrows.
So, in my drop down list I show FMC, PMC, and NMC. There are (3) different status, Fully Mission Capable (FMC), Partial Mission Capable (PMC), and Non-mission Capable (NMC).
I work in Aviation Maintenance and I am making a spreadsheet to show the status of the aircraft. Let me give you an idea of what I am trying to do. I am putting a little tweak to it and maybe that is where my problem lies. However, I am struggling to make it work. I enjoyed your lesson and I learned some great things from it. Now, any selection you make from the dropdown list should produce the photo of that name! Step 6: Finally, copy any of the photos to the desired location near the dropdown list, then click on the photo and in the Formula bar, enter = followed by the name of the formula from Step 5: Now, any name we call up with the dropdown list will tie to the cell reference of that name that we did in Step 4: INDIRECT converts a text string to an actual cell reference. I then wrapped the cell location in an INDIRECT function. To do this, use the keyboard shortcut Ctrl + F3, then click on "New". Step 5: Click on the cell where the dropdown list is located, and create a named formula. Again, I used "Create from Selection" and named cells B2:B5 based on the names in cells A2:A5. Step 4: Name the cells where the photos are located. Step 3: Locate where you want the dropdown list, and using Data Validation – Lists, enter the list based on what you named it. I first named the list from cells A2:A5 as "Wine" using "Create from Selection" on the Formulas tab. Step 2: Create the list for your Data Validation dropdown. In a future step we will be referencing the cell where that the photo is located, so this is an important step. Step 1: Load your photos onto a worksheet, and make sure each photo is contained within a single cell. I will go through the steps in a cursory fashion below, but the video will best explain the details to accomplish this. Here are 4 photos and the names I want to associate with each:Īs with some previous blog posts, I would strongly encourage you to watch the video. The goal here is to create a dropdown list of photo names, and have the related photo appear. Many of the processes I will use here have been discussed in previous posts, so if you need a refresher on any of them, just search my site for that topic and you should find a related post. Here is the link to the Dueling Podcast on this topic. This post came from a question asked on a LinkedIn user group forum and the response referenced a dueling podcast between Mr.
