Get inserted image to adjust the row height in Excel - excel

I am having an issue getting the row height to adjust in Excel to the inserted image. I have tried cell.EntireRow = pic.Height but it does not adjust the row to match image height. It loops through several worksheets to find the code then selects the next empty cell to it so the image gets inserted there. Also not sure if this is the correct way to go through the entire worksheet as the is usually more that one Photo1 in there. If I can get this figured out, I can do the photo2 and photo3 using whatever solution is found.
Here is my code
Private Sub cmdInsertPhoto1_Click()
'insert the photo1 from the folder into each worksheet
Dim ws As Worksheet
Dim fso As FileSystemObject
Dim folder As folder
Dim rng As Range, cell As Range
Dim strFile As String
Dim imgFile As String
Dim localFilename As String
Dim pic As Picture
Dim findit As String
Application.ScreenUpdating = True
'delete the two sheets if they still exist
For Each ws In ActiveWorkbook.Worksheets
If ws.Name = "PDFPrint" Then
Application.DisplayAlerts = False
Sheets("PDFPrint").Delete
Application.DisplayAlerts = True
End If
Next
For Each ws In ActiveWorkbook.Worksheets
If ws.Name = "DataSheet" Then
Application.DisplayAlerts = False
Sheets("DataSheet").Delete
Application.DisplayAlerts = True
End If
Next
Set fso = New FileSystemObject
Set folder = fso.GetFolder(ActiveWorkbook.Path & "\Photos1\")
'Loop through all worksheets
For Each ws In ThisWorkbook.Worksheets
ws.Select
Set rng = Range("A:A")
ws.Unprotect
For Each cell In rng
If cell = "CG Code" Then
'find the next adjacent cell value of CG Code
strFile = cell.Offset(0, 1).Value 'the cg code value
imgFile = strFile & ".png" 'the png imgFile name
localFilename = folder & "\" & imgFile 'the full location
'just find Photo1 cell and select the adjacent cell to insert the image
findit = Range("A:A").Find(what:="Photo1", MatchCase:=True).Offset(0, 1).Select
Set pic = ws.Pictures.Insert(localFilename)
With pic
.ShapeRange.LockAspectRatio = msoFalse
.ShapeRange.Width = 200
.ShapeRange.Height = 200 'max row height is 409.5
.Placement = xlMoveAndSize
End With
cell.EntireRow = pic.Height
End If
'delete photo after insert
'Kill localFilename
Next cell
Next ws
Application.ScreenUpdating = True
' let user know its been completed
MsgBox ("Worksheets created")
End Sub
What it currently looks like

You have to use the rowheight property of the range object: cell.EntireRow.RowHeight= pic.Height
As you wrote it (cell.EntireRow = pic.Height) you implicitly used the default property of cell.EntireRow which is value)

Managed to solve it. for anyone else its cell was selected so, this works for me:
'just find Photo1 cell and select the adjacent cell to insert the image
findit = Range("A:A").Find(what:="Photo1", MatchCase:=True).Offset(0, 1).Select
ActiveCell.EntireRow.RowHeight = 200 'max row height is 409.5
Set pic = ws.Pictures.Insert(localFilename)
With pic
.ShapeRange.LockAspectRatio = msoFalse
.ShapeRange.Width = 200
'.ShapeRange.Height = 200 'max row height is 409.5
.ShapeRange.Height = ActiveCell.MergeArea.Height
.ShapeRange.Top = ActiveCell.MergeArea.Top
.ShapeRange.Left = ActiveCell.MergeArea.Left
.Placement = xlMoveAndSize
End With

FindNext within a For Each loop

I need to know how to get FindNext working in my code. It finds the photo inserts it into the column where the code matches, however it does not find the next code in the worksheet, so it keeps overwriting the photos in the first find.

How to insert the same image to multiple named ranges

Hi there I have the code below which calls "Delete_Image_Click" and deletes the shape in a specified cell range and then inserts a new image from a selected filepath into the same cell range.
I need to then delete images in other ranges (on the same worksheet and other worksheets) and then add the same image into the other cell ranges on the same worksheet and then go into another named worksheet and insert the same image into two more ranges.
Could anyone help me with how I go about this?
Sub RectangleRoundedCorners6_Click()
Call Delete_Image_Click
Dim sPicture As String, pic As Picture
sPicture = Application.GetOpenFilename _
("Pictures (*.gif; *.jpg; *.bmp; *.tif; *.png), *.gif;*.png; *.jpg; *.bmp; *.tif", _
, "Select Picture to Import")
If sPicture = "False" Then Exit Sub
Set pic = ActiveSheet.Pictures.Insert(sPicture)
With pic
.ShapeRange.LockAspectRatio = msoTrue
.Height = Range("Q36:W41").Height
.Top = Range("Q36:W41").Top
.Left = Range("Q36:W41").Left
.Placement = xlMoveAndSize
End With
Set pic = Nothing
End Sub
Sub Delete_Image_Click()
Dim xPicRg As Range
Dim xPic As Picture
Dim xRg As Range
Application.ScreenUpdating = False

VBA Excel copy the element throughout a whole workbook when the sheet is hidden

Good afternoon,
I would like to copy the textbox throughout the whole workbook, but I want to exclude one sheet at once.
The original answer is here:
Copy the element throughout a whole workbook
but now, even if I include the unwanted sheet I am getting an error:
The item with the specified name wasn't found.
with the debugger showing:
Set s = ws1.Shapes("AsBuiltBox")
My full code looks like this, but I switched off the lines responsible for hiding the sheet, which I don't want because it didn't work.
Sub Asbuiltstamp()
Dim myDocument As Worksheet
Set myDocument = Worksheets(2)
With myDocument.Shapes.AddTextbox(msoTextOrientationHorizontal, 725, 60, 200, 100)
.Name = "AsBuiltBox"
With .TextFrame
.HorizontalAlignment = xlCenter
With .Characters
.Text = "Openreach As-Built"
.Font.ColorIndex = 3
.Font.Size = 36
.Font.Bold = True
End With
End With
.Rotation = 35
.Fill.Visible = False
End With
End Sub
Sub Asbuiltcopy()
Dim Ws As Worksheet, ws1 As Worksheet, ws2 As Worksheet, s As Shape
Set ws1 = Worksheets("Readme") 'sheet containing original textbox
'Set ws2 = Worksheets("Readme")
Set s = ws1.Shapes("AsBuiltBox") 'name of original textbox
'ws2.Hidden = True
Application.ScreenUpdating = False
For Each Ws In Worksheets
'Ws.Unprotect "Secret"
If Ws.Name <> ws1.Name Then
s.Copy
Ws.Paste
Ws.Shapes(Ws.Shapes.Count).Top = s.Top
Ws.Shapes(Ws.Shapes.Count).Left = s.Left
End If
Next Ws
Application.ScreenUpdating = True
Call AsReadmeremove
'ws2.Hidden = False
End Sub
I also tried to solve this problem here:
Copy the element throughout the whole workbook with exclusion some sheets
Is there any way to make it running?

From picture in cell to footer

Given a workbook like this one:
I need to add the logo from cell A2 - worksheet A, in the footer of worksheets B,C.
Here's the code I've found and modified a little bit but it is not working.
Sub Logo()
Dim printWorksheet As Worksheet
Dim logoShape As Shape
Dim tempImageFile As String
Set printWorksheet = ThisWorkbook.ActiveSheet
Set logoShape = ThisWorkbook.Sheets("A").Shapes("myLogo")
tempImageFile = Environ("temp") & Application.PathSeparator & "image.jpg"
Save_Object_As_Picture logoShape, tempImageFile
With printWorksheet.PageSetup
.RightHeaderPicture.FileName = tempImageFile
.RightHeader = "&G"
End With
I have found a solutions (http://www.vbforums.com/showthread.php?538529-Export-an-Image-from-Excel-Sheet-to-Hard-Drive), that I have adopted to this task.
The key is, that a chart object can be exported as a picture, so the original shape is copied into a chart.
The chart is created, used, and deleted.
The ShapeExportAsPicture has two arguments: the shape, that is to be exported as picture and the full path where to store it.
Sub Logo()
Dim printWorksheet As Worksheet
Dim logoShape As Shape
Dim tempImageFile As String
Set printWorksheet = ThisWorkbook.ActiveSheet
Set logoShape = ThisWorkbook.Sheets("A").Shapes("myLogo")
logoShape.Visible = True
tempImageFile = Environ("temp") & Application.PathSeparator & "image.jpg"
Call ShapeExportAsPicture(logoShape, tempImageFile)
With printWorksheet.PageSetup
.RightFooterPicture.Filename = tempImageFile
.RightFooter = "&G"
End With
logoShape.Visible = False
End Sub
Private Sub ShapeExportAsPicture(pShape As Shape, sPathImageLocation As String)
Dim sTempChart As String
Dim shTempSheet As Worksheet
Set shTempSheet = pShape.Parent
Charts.Add 'Add a temporary chart
ActiveChart.Location Where:=xlLocationAsObject, Name:=shTempSheet.Name
Selection.Border.LineStyle = 0
sTempChart = Selection.Name & " " & Split(ActiveChart.Name, " ")(2)
With shTempSheet
'Change the dimensions of the chart to the size of the original shape
With .Shapes(sTempChart)
.Width = pShape.Width
.Height = pShape.Height
End With
pShape.Copy 'Copy the shape
With ActiveChart 'Paste the shape into the chart
.ChartArea.Select
.Paste
End With
'export the chart
.ChartObjects(1).Chart.Export Filename:=sPathImageLocation, FilterName:="jpg"
.Shapes(sTempChart).Delete 'Delete the chart.
End With
End Sub

What I want is when I press the button again the previous image will just be replaced by the new image base on the column A.
You need to locate the existing picture based on its position, then delete it, before inserting the next picture.
Loop over all the pictures in the sheet and check their position - when you find one which matches where you want to insert the new picture, delete it.
Sub tester()
DeletePicFromCell Range("I3")
End Sub
Sub DeletePicFromCell(c As Range)
Const MARGIN As Long = 10 '<< how far the picture can be out of place
Dim shp
For Each shp In c.Parent.Shapes
If Abs(shp.Left - c.Left) < MARGIN And _
Abs(shp.Top - c.Top) < MARGIN Then
shp.Delete
Exit For '<< done checking
End If
Next shp
End Sub
BTW you don't need all those blocks checking for different extensions: assuming all the potential matches are images you can do something like
Dim fName
fName = Dir(pathForPicture & pictureName & ".*") '<< match any extension
If Len(fName)>0 Then
'Have a match
'Insert image from pathForPicture & fName
End If
EDIT: your original code reworked
Private Sub CommandButton1_Click()
Const COL_PIC_NAME As Long = 1 'column where picture name is found
Const COL_PIC_PASTE As Long = 5 'column where picture is to be pasted
Const PIC_PATH As String = "C:\Users\drawing\Desktop\pic\"
Dim pictureName As String 'picture name
Dim pictureFile As String 'picture file
Dim pictureRow As Long 'current picture row to be processed
Dim sht As Worksheet
Dim picCell As Range
Set sht = ActiveSheet
For pictureRow = 2 To sht.Cells(sht.Rows.Count, COL_PIC_NAME).End(xlUp).Row
pictureName = sht.Cells(pictureRow, COL_PIC_NAME) 'This is the picture name
If Len(pictureName) > 0 Then
pictureFile = Dir(PIC_PATH & pictureName & ".*", vbNormal) 'is there a matching file?
If Len(pictureFile) > 0 Then
Set picCell = sht.Cells(pictureRow, COL_PIC_PASTE)

.Left = picCell.Left
.Top = picCell.Top
.ShapeRange.LockAspectRatio = msoFalse
.Height = 100
.Width = 130
End With
End If 'have picture
