How to get images to appear in Excel given image url

Question

I'm creating a csv file with one of the columns containing an url of an image (e.g., www.myDomain.com/myImage.jpg).
How I can get Excel to render this image?

Answer 1

Dim url_column As Range
Dim image_column As Range

Set url_column = Worksheets(1).UsedRange.Columns("A")
Set image_column = Worksheets(1).UsedRange.Columns("B")

Dim i As Long
For i = 1 To url_column.Cells.Count

  With image_column.Worksheet.Pictures.Insert(url_column.Cells(i).Value)
    .Left = image_column.Cells(i).Left
    .Top = image_column.Cells(i).Top
    image_column.Cells(i).EntireRow.RowHeight = .Height
  End With

On Google Sheets you can add the IMAGE(url) method to your CSV file and it will be rendered (Tested on Google Sheets).

Here is an example:

=IMAGE("http://efdreams.com/data_images/dreams/lion/lion-03.jpg")
