I have a table that contains the file path, when the button is clicked the macro will display an image according to the url path. Here is my code (sourch : Link)
Sub Macro_1()
Dim cShape As Shape
Dim cRange As Range
Dim cColumn As Long
On Error Resume Next
Application.ScreenUpdating = False
Set xRange = ActiveSheet.Range("C5:D6, G5:H6, C8:D9, G8:H9")
For Each cell In xRange
cName = cell
ActiveSheet.Pictures.insert(cName).Select
Set cShape = Selection.ShapeRange.Item(1)
If cShape Is Nothing Then GoTo line22
cColumn = cell.Column
Set cRange = Cells(cell.Row, cColumn)
With cShape
.LockAspectRatio = msoFalse
.Height = cRange.Height - 5
.Width = cRange.Width - 5
.Top = cRange.Top + 2
.Left = cRange.Left + 2
.Placement = xlMoveAndSize
End With
line22:
Set cShape = Nothing
Next
Application.ScreenUpdating = True
End Sub
The code works as shown in the following illustration.
But I want the image to be in all merged cells. As shown in the following picture
Please let me know if you see anything that will fix this! I'm sure it's something simple, but I've been stuck for a while on this one.
You can use the MergeArea property of the Range object to return the merged range. Your macro can amended as follows (untested) . . .
Sub Macro_1()
Dim cShape As Shape
Dim cRange As Range
Dim cColumn As Long
On Error Resume Next
Application.ScreenUpdating = False
Set xRange = ActiveSheet.Range("C5, G5, C8, G8")
For Each cell In xRange
cName = cell
ActiveSheet.Pictures.Insert(cName).Select
Set cShape = Selection.ShapeRange.Item(1)
If cShape Is Nothing Then GoTo line22
cColumn = cell.Column
Set cRange = cell.MergeArea
With cShape
.LockAspectRatio = msoFalse
.Height = cRange.Height - 5
.Width = cRange.Width - 5
.Top = cRange.Top + 2
.Left = cRange.Left + 2
.Placement = xlMoveAndSize
End With
line22:
Set cShape = Nothing
Next
Application.ScreenUpdating = True
End Sub

I'm trying to create the following template:
The user creates a table in a "Data Entry" worksheet that lists the following:
File path ie: P:\Phone Camera Dump\20121224_111617.jpg
Range where the picture is to be placed in the "PICS" worksheet.
Once the list is finalized, the user executes and images are placed within the ranges specified on the "PICS" worksheet and dynamically re-sized.
Presently the range has a set width of 624px and a height of 374px, but ideally, I would like the image to resize (aspect ratio not locked) dynamically in the width and height change.
I've used the following code as a base but am struggling with how to incorporate the cell ranges instead of the static row updates:
Sub InsertSeveralImages()
Dim pic_Path As String 'File path of the picture
Dim cl As Range, Rng As Range
Dim WS_Templte As Worksheet
Set WS_Templte = Worksheets("PICS")
Set Rng = Worksheets("Data Entry").Range("C13:C42")
pastingRow = 2
For Each cl In Rng
pic_Path = cl.Value
Set InsertingPicture = WS_Templte.Pictures.Insert(pic_Path)
'Setting of the picture
With InsertingPicture
.ShapeRange.LockAspectRatio = msoTrue
.Height = 100
.Top = WS_Templte.Rows(pastingRow).Top
.Left = WS_Templte.Columns(3).Left
End With
pastingRow = pastingRow + 5
Next cl
Set myPicture = Nothing
WS_Templte.Activate
End Sub
Any thoughts?
I figured it out. Here is the code in case anyone wants to use it:
Public Sub InsertPictures()
Dim vntFilePath As Variant
Dim rngFilePath As Range
Dim vntPastePath As Variant
Dim rngPastePath As Range
Dim lngCounter As Long
Dim pic As Picture
Set WS_Templte = Worksheets("PICS")
On Error GoTo ErrHandler
With ThisWorkbook.Sheets("PICS") '<-- Change sheet name accordingly
' Set first cell containing a row number
Set rngFilePath = .Range("BJ7")
vntFilePath = rngFilePath.Value
' Set first cell containing a paste range
Set rngPastePath = .Range("BK7")
vntPastePath = rngPastePath.Value
Do Until IsEmpty(vntFilePath)
If Dir(vntFilePath) = "" Then vntFilePath = strNOT_FOUND_PATH
Set pic = .Pictures.Insert(vntFilePath)
lngCounter = lngCounter + 1
With pic
.ShapeRange.LockAspectRatio = msoFalse
If .ShapeRange.Rotation = 90! Or .ShapeRange.Rotation = 270! Then
.Height = Application.CentimetersToPoints(16.3)
.Width = Application.CentimetersToPoints(10.03)
.Top = WS_Templte.Rows(rngPastePath).Top - (.Height - .Width) / 2#
.Left = WS_Templte.Columns(4).Left + (.Height - .Width) / 2#
Else
.Width = Application.CentimetersToPoints(10.03)
.Height = Application.CentimetersToPoints(16.3)
.Top = WS_Templte.Rows(rngPastePath).Top
.Left = WS_Templte.Columns(4).Left
End If
End With
Set rngFilePath = rngFilePath.Offset(1)
vntFilePath = rngFilePath.Value
Set rngPastePath = rngPastePath.Offset(1)
vntPastePath = rngPastePath.Value
Loop
End With
MsgBox lngCounter & " pictures were inserted.", vbInformation
ExitProc:
Set rngFilePath = Nothing
Set pic = Nothing
Exit Sub
ErrHandler:
MsgBox Err.Description, vbExclamation
Resume ExitProc
End Sub
I have this code to convert a set of URLs in column B to images in column C, but i get the error :
Unable to get the Insert property of the Pictures class. My code :
Private Sub Insert_Pic()
Dim pic As String
Dim myPicture As Picture
Dim rng As Range
Dim item As Range
lRow = ActiveSheet.Cells(Rows.Count, 3).End(xlUp).Row
Set rng = Range("B3:B" & lRow)
For Each item In rng
pic = item.Offset(0, -1)
If pic = "" Then Exit Sub
Set myPicture = ActiveSheet.Pictures.Insert(pic)
With myPicture
.ShapeRange.LockAspectRatio = msoFalse
.Width = item.Width
.Height = item.Height
.Top = Rows(item.Row).Top
.Left = Columns(item.Column).Left
.Placement = xlMoveAndSize
End With
Next
End Sub
Thanks for your help
The algorithm in debugging is to start with something tiny, that works and then to continue.
For a beginning - take this 4 lines only and run them:
Sub TestMe()
Dim myPicAddress As String
myPicAddress = "https://www.vitoshacademy.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/02/va2.png"
Dim myPic As Picture
Set myPic = ActiveSheet.Pictures.Insert(myPicAddress)
End Sub
Then, start working on your code, putting the With-End With part to the code, that already works:
Sub TestMe2()
Dim myPicAddress As String
myPicAddress = "https://www.vitoshacademy.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/02/va2.png"
Dim myPicture As Picture
Set myPicture = ActiveSheet.Pictures.Insert(myPicAddress)
Dim item As Range
Set item = ActiveSheet.Cells(5, 5)
With myPicture
.ShapeRange.LockAspectRatio = msoFalse
.Width = item.Width
.Height = item.Height
.Top = Rows(item.Row).Top
.Left = Columns(item.Column).Left
.Placement = xlMoveAndSize
End With
End Sub
At the end, take a look at the loop and what is passed by as a picture string. Probably the error is hidden somewhere there.
I want to add an image to Cell B1,
and then put the same images to B15, B29, B43, ......B57 (which are increasing by 14) at once
I searched for the ways to do this, but couldn't find how to.
Could someone please tell me how to do this?
Option 1 based on this solution
Option Explicit
Sub TiragePictures()
Const PicPath = "c:\PPP\AAA.png" ' your own path to the image
Dim ws As Worksheet, r As Long, cell As Range
Set ws = ActiveSheet
For r = 15 To 57 Step 14
Set cell = ws.Cells(r, "B")
With ws.Pictures.Insert(PicPath)
With .ShapeRange
.LockAspectRatio = msoTrue
.Width = 70
.Height = 50
End With
.Left = cell.Left
.Top = cell.Top
.Placement = 1
.PrintObject = True
End With
Next
End Sub
Option2 with Shapes.AddPicture method
Sub TiragePictures2()
Const PicPath = "c:\PPP\AAA.png" ' your own path to the image
Dim ws As Worksheet, r As Long, cell As Range, sh As Shape
Set ws = ActiveSheet
For r = 15 To 57 Step 14
Set cell = ws.Cells(r, "B")
With ws.Shapes.AddPicture(Filename:=PicPath, LinkToFile:=False, _
SaveWithDocument:=True, Left:=cell.Left, _
Top:=cell.Top, Width:=-1, Height:=-1) '-1 retains the width/height of the existing file
.LockAspectRatio = True 'before resizing, set the proportions to keep
.Width = 70
.Height = 50
End With
Next
End Sub
I am trying to extract an image from a URL and embed it in Excel.
My Excel Sheet is simple: it contains 2 columns.
Column 1 has the image URL. In column 2 I want to embed the image.
I am using the following code. It is working perfectly fine for first row where I have saved the image on my local machine and given the path, but it fails when trying to embed straight from the URL. I receive the following error:
Error - Run time 1004 , unable to get the insert property for the
picture class.
My code:
Sub Button1_Click()
'ActiveSheet.Pictures.Insert("C:\810CfHBPGyL._SX425_.jpg").Select
'Updateby Extendoffice 20161116
Dim Pshp As Shape
Dim xRg As Range
Dim xCol As Long
'On Error Resume Next
Application.ScreenUpdating = False
Set Rng = ActiveSheet.Range("A2:A3")
MsgBox "Step1"
For Each cell In Rng
filenam = cell
MsgBox "Step2" & cell
ActiveSheet.Pictures.Insert(filenam).Select
MsgBox "Step3"
Set Pshp = Selection.ShapeRange.Item(1)
'MsgBox "Step4" & Pshp
If Pshp Is Nothing Then GoTo lab
xCol = cell.Column + 1
Set xRg = Cells(cell.Row, xCol)
With Pshp
.LockAspectRatio = msoFalse
.Width = 80
.Height = 80
.Top = xRg.Top + (xRg.Height - .Height) / 2
.Left = xRg.Left + (xRg.Width - .Width) / 2
End With
lab:
Set Pshp = Nothing
Range("A2").Select
Next
Application.ScreenUpdating = True
End Sub
Could this be a problem with the Excel VBA references?
I have used the below VBA code to insert pictures from an image URL.
For some reason, this code works with some image URLs but not for others.
For example, the below URLs will work
http://a.espncdn.com/combiner/i?img=/i/headshots/nfl/players/full/3123076.png&w=350&h=254
https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/c/c8/David_Njoku_2018.jpg/220px-David_Njoku_2018.jpg
But the below will not

http://ecx.images-amazon.com/images/I/41gWzC%2B5IqL.SL500.jpg
Does anyone know if there are any limitations to the "ActiveSheet.Pictures.Insert" command?
Below is the code i am using
Sub URLPictureInsert()
Dim Pshp As Shape
Dim xRg As Range
Dim xCol As Long
On Error Resume Next
Application.ScreenUpdating = False
Set Rng = ActiveSheet.Range("A1 :A24")
For Each cell In Rng
filenam = cell
ActiveSheet.Pictures.Insert(filenam).Select
Set Pshp = Selection.ShapeRange.Item(1)
If Pshp Is Nothing Then GoTo lab
xCol = cell.Column + 1
Set xRg = Cells(cell.Row, xCol)
With Pshp
.LockAspectRatio = msoFalse
.Width = 100
.Height = 100
.Top = xRg.Top + (xRg.Height - .Height) / 2
.Left = xRg.Left + (xRg.Width - .Width) / 2
End With
lab:
Set Pshp = Nothing
Range("A1").Select
Next
Application.ScreenUpdating = True
