Picture inside excel cell? - excel

Do you know how can I make excel cells look like this?
When I change the color of some of these cells to for example yellow, than this picture disappears, but If I choose "no fill" option, then I again get this picture as default cell look.
I think that this is not a picture inserted into cell, because when I click on the cell, I don't get "format picture" options in the ribbon. These cells behave like normal excel cells.
Thanks in advance

Change MS Excel cell fill color without vba macro

I thought I'd post this somewhere because it took me a bit to figure out how to change a cell's fill color in MS Excel. What happened was that I had changed a cell's fill color by assigning one through the Custom tab of the Fill Color option. I later realized that I wanted to use the same color for other cells, but had no way of duplicating this custom color, as this selection wasn't saved anywhere. My searches resulted in creating a macro (vba) code, but my installation of MS Excel doesn't allow use of macros.
So the way I was able to do this was by clicking on the cell with the desired fill color, clicking on the drop down next to "Fill Color" menu option, selecting "More Colors", selecting the "Custom" tab and applying the same values for "Color model", "Red", "Green", and "Blue" to the cell where you'd like the same fill color:
I hope this is helpful! Thanks!

Keep colours of cells when using autofill (Excel)

I have a formula in Excel that I would like to drag down to other cells using autofill. However, the cells below have unique colours and I do not want to remove them. Is there an easy way of autofilling the cells with my formula and keeping the colours?
Thank you in advance.
Fastest way I have found is to drag using the right mouse button and when you release the button the options menu will popup automatically, just select "Fill Without Formatting".

How to hide a picture in an Excel cell?

My excel sheet has many rows. Each row is a project. I want to put a picture into a cell and I hope the picture will be very small when I am NOT click on it. In other words, I don't want to see the full size picture until I click on the cell? How I could do that? Thanks
It is possible to insert a picture into a cell's comment. The picture will not appear unless you hover over the commented cell. See this previous SO answer.

Picture shows in excel if a threshold is hit

I am creating an excel spreadsheet to track sales quota. I would like the spreadsheet to display a picture of fireworks when quota is hit. I don't know that much about macros, but good with formulas but that doesn't seem to help. Any ideas?
One way that I know it can be done:
1) Paste the picture of the fireworks in a cell (say A1) in a separate (preferably hidden sheet). Make sure to resize the cell (or the picture) so that the picture completely fits inside cell A1.
2) Define a named formula, maybe named "fireworks", which goes like:
=IF([Your condition for the fireworks to show],INDIRECT("[cell in which firework pic is]"),INDIRECT("[any blank cell"))
like for eg:
=IF(Sheet1!$C$6=TRUE,INDIRECT("Sheet2!$a$1"),INDIRECT("Sheet1!$M$8"))
3) Go to 'Insert' tab, click Object, click bitmap image. If paint or any image editor opens up just close it, so it inserts a blank image/object into the sheet. This image will have "=EMBED("Paint.Picture","")" in the formula bar. Replace this with a reference to our named formula, like =fireworks
4) Resize and reposition this image/object. When the condition is satisfied, the pic should pop up.

How to get rid of black arrowheads in right bottom corner of excel cell?

I have a file with Excel 97-2003 (.xls) version. When this file is opened in Excel 2013, shows black arrowheads in right bottom corner of the cell. These arrows are only in cells B3:J3 and F4. All these cells contains integer numbers. To get an idea what I want to convey please have a look at following image.
Things i have tried to remove arrowheads
Clear content and insert data again. (Arrow head is still there even if I remove data.)
Clear formatting.
Use Format painter and format the cells having arrowhead with the format of cells not having arrowhead.
Deleting the cells. (If I delete the cells, these arrows get shifted to cells above it)
Removing the conditional formatting from these cells.
Interesting thing is when I try to print the sheets the arrowheads vanish in print preview. I want to get rid of the black arrowheads (or triangles) in the excel sheet.
Thanks in advance... :)
Edit:
Things i have tried to remove arrowheads in addition to above mentioned
"Remove Arrows" from "Formulas" tab
In the 'home' tab on the ribbon, click 'select & find', then 'selection pane'.
If there is anything in this pane, select and delete it and that will probably remove the arrows.
Also, in the 'Formulas' tab in the ribbon, click 'Remove arrows'
Function Key and F5 at the same time in the cell in which the black arrowhead appears.
Click on Special.
Click on Objects.
A gray circle will appear.
Hit the delete key
and the black arrowhead will disappear
