Complete novice learner here. How do I get the URL for the image? Also can you attach a drawing (if i'm using the insert drawing option to get a customer signature) Do you know how I get this to attach to a cell rather than just float over the sheet?
A great tutorial on how to work with images in Google Sheets. I'm trying to crop an image, but it is not working. In the Google Sheets menu bar, I can't find the Crop option. Where can I find it in the menu bar? And, how can I crop the image? Please lead the way.
I want to learn how to change the grey picture to a photo of my own when I share my sheet with other people. I want to customize the look instead of that generic blank person. How do I do that?
If I already have an image on Google Drive and the image file name already exists in my column (Example: Parks_Images / Toba.Image.125910.JPG) is there a formula that can display the garbar in my column? Note: Park_Image is the name of the folder and Image.125910.JPG is the name of the image. Thank you very much I hope there is a formula for running this
Is it possible in Google Sheets to enter an image and then slice it based the width of the columns? Once sliced I'd like to add a blank column between the strips.
Is there a way to make an image insert at a size and auto size the cell to be the size you have used? e.g. setting image to 300 x 300 would create a cell that size and image would scale to that size? Hope that wasn’t too confusing
i wanna ask, i f I have image attached on google sheets (from a link). Can I show the image URL in a cell with formula? (the reverse formula of =image(url) ). Thank you
Really helpful video! Do you know if it is possible to use =IMAGE("imageURL") to host an image from the web but it overlays other cells? So using your video as an example the image stems from D6, but can you make it large so it overlaps onto other cells without having to alter the D6 cell size? I hope that makes sense! Thanks
Hi friend Any way so that I can direct copy image from my pc and paste in excel doc And then from excel doc I can copy the image directly and paste in any other excel doc
Hi, Thank for the detail explanation. However, I would like to know if that image can pop out into bigger screen or the bigger picture. If so, kindly let me know. Regards, Benny G
Great video, have one more question: Imagine I have some table with placed I visited. On the end I would like to have print screen with detailed map. But I do not want to have huge table because I do not look at the map all time. So, Is there any option/function to place an icon or small picture and when I put a curson on the picture, maybe comment or just cell it will appear bigger? Thanks for help
+Piotr Baranowski I think the easiest way would be to hide the column containing the Map and only show it when you need this. To do this you click on the drop down arrow of the column you wish to hide and select hide.
Supposing I have the URL in my cell A1. Now I tried to type this formula in B1; =image(A1,1) and it did not work. So does it mean that the URL cannot be referenced in the image() formula?
I need to add many images of plants and text describing attributes, etc., and then I need to make a photocopy of this information to present to my instructor. I need to make the photo copies 24" x 36". When I make this large copy will all the photos print nicely and fit the 24" x 36" scale or will they be warped and stretched, etc.? How do I set, if necessary, a scale in Google Sheets? Is it a pixel choice or an actual measurement choice? If pixels, how would I know how many to set for the final printing, and I also have to upload the document, before printing, to my instructor so I she can show it to our class. Thanks so much!
Sheets uses pixels for the dimensions. If you are printing and need exact sizes then I would use a product such as Drawings to make sure you print everything exactly the size you want it. Another option is for you to use a Pixel to Centimeter conversion table. One I've used before is: www.vesterkopi.dk/en/help/562-convert-pixels-to-cm.html
What did you use to try and get your images in? Here is a help page with more info: support.google.com/docs/answer/9224754?hl=en&co=GENIE.Platform%3DDesktop#zippy=%2Cuse-a-function-to-add-an-image%2Cadd-an-image-from-your-desktop-or-the-web Hope this helps you
+bima benjamin as the images are inserted via a function I think I should be possible to validate that data. However I have never done this myself. Will have a look at it when I find some time.
Hi, I've just check and the image function seems to still be working fine on my drive. Might be the source of your image which doesn't allow for linking. Hope this helps. This is the function and image source I used to test it with : =IMAGE("edutrainingcenter.withgoogle.com/edu_assets/images/sheets.png")
I currently have images saved in dropbox and when I insert the url it does nothing. Is there an issue with using images from dropbox or am I doing something wrong?

I need to insert a screenshot into a cell. I stared by uploading it to google drive to get an URL - but Google Sheets does not accept this form of URL. Do you have any solution?
You will have to turn the Drive URL into a shared host url. I've made a video on this which you can find here: ruclips.net/video/zhwYRPImH9E/видео.html Hope this helps.
I Uploaded a lot of images from the function 'Insert images' , in which I was able to locate the images in specific cells and specific places within the cell (Corner, center, etc) since all the cells are not the same size. The images are inserted in the cells along with text, but now some of the images move and I have to relocated them manually. What could I do? I have invested a lot of time on the creating of the file :(
Not sure if I fully understand what is happening. Are you inserting images from your drive into a specific cell, and then they seem to jump around by themselves? What does your full function look like. Would love to try and help!
@@FlippedClassroomTutorials Thank you very much for your help. yes, every time I open the file all the images move around but once I refresh the page or change the tab and come back everything looks correct and in place, which it is very strange. I would love to share some images if possible. I did not set any formula to insert the images since I need them very small in specific parts of a cell.
The image would probably no longer be visible then. However you can tweak the drive url to hoat an image as explained in my video on hosting images. That will make sure your image stays visible.
I'm a level I educator. My goal is to be level II certified by August 5. Unit 4 scared me to death. :( will your videos help me with Sheets? I'm reading unit 5-9 today and tomorrow. Thanks so much.
For as far as I'm aware that's not possible a workaround would be to have the text within a Drawing (insert -> drawing). However, this is not ideal as it is static and you can't 'do' anything with the text.

Trying to insert a GPhotos image into a spreadsheet cell by copying the link, but getting "#Error" in cell. How is this easily done...am I making it too difficult?!
I try my best to reply to most, if not, all comments. You can find the URL by either clicking in Google Drive on the share URL button or making sure your image is uploaded to an image host. You cannot access local images, they will have to be online. Hope this helps.
I have an long list of images that I would like to add to my sheet. Using this method would be a considerable time investment. Is there a way we could add multiple images all linked with a cell?
+Yugesh Shakya I havent tried that, but if the url is similar (i.e. image01, image02, etc.) you could copy the Formula into all cells and simply change each individual url. I don't think there is a faster way of doing it. Hope this helps.

This could be due to the fact that Google No longer allows Image hosting on Drive. Check out my video on How you can host an image on drive Workaround and let me know if that helped. ruclips.net/video/zhwYRPImH9E/видео.html
+soleil anet Hi, this is a more advanced way of inserting images and you have to use a formula as demonstrated in the video. This formula goes in the formula bar on top. Hope this helps.
+Dieu Nga Nguyen Vu hi. You will have to host the file on google drive first and use that hosted url. I've done a video on this here: ruclips.net/video/zhwYRPImH9E/видео.html hope this helps.
Google Drive no longer allows Image hosting. You can use the following workaround: Set to Public on the web(Sharing settings), Copy the link, go to gdurl.com and paste the link. (gdurl turns your link into a hosted link). gdurl will provide you with a hosted link. Hope this helps!
That is currently not supported. You could add text into a drawing and have text on top of an image that way, but it would not be usable in the spreadsheet.

Not for as far as I'm aware. One photo per cell. You could first merge and edit the photos and then embed them.
