i tried this and seems to work fine - but you can't order or filter the Excel list including the pics. also the pics are not scaled proportional . so i
bought image-xls - cost a bit , but does all i need

How can I modify the following code so that pictures are populated in a selected range of cells across multiple columns and rows rather than in
consecutive cells in successive rows in the same column?

Sub InsertPictures()
'Update 20140513
Dim PicList() As Variant
Dim PicFormat As String
Dim Rng As Range
Dim sShape As Shape
On Error Resume Next
PicList = Application.Get OpenFilename(Pi cFormat, MultiSelect:=True)

This code ALMOST works for my needs. I have 200 images, each image needs to go on it's own sheet. How do I go about that?

Hey,

Ive inserted the pictures using my own VBE code. And now I've tried to share it with the others, unfortunately they are not able to see the
pictures..... I would be grateful if anyone could tell me what am I missing.

Thanks
