Filtering pictures
When I filter information from a column, and there are multiple pictures in other columns, the pictures collect on top of each other rather than leaving the one picture on the row with filtered information.
How do I stop this happening?
RE: filtering pictures
Hi Emily. This is a consequence of Excel inserting pictures as objects that float above the worksheet rather than inside the cells themselves. When the structure of the worksheet is reordered after the application of a filter, the images don't stay attached to the relevant cells, and so end up in a mess above the worksheet. Excel much prefers numerical and/or string data than pictures, I'm afraid. Have you considered inserting a hyperlink in each cell to offline copies of the images, rather than inserting the images themselves?
If you rebuilt the worksheet in Word and inserted the images as objects in a table, this might also give you better sorting and filtering capabilities.
Hope this helps,
Anthony
