Lookup Images
The process in this video starts off explaining named cells and ranges, each photo sits inside a named cell. The tutor explains how to create a data validation list that displays the names of the photos. The indirect function is added in the name manager to reference the data validation box.
Indirect
The Indirect function is added to the name manager, by selecting new and creating a name. The Indirect function returns data from a referenced cell, in this case the image.
Images
Any of the images in the data set can be copied and placed in the relevant location on the lookup sheet. With the image selected the tutor explains that the formula must be typed using the Indirect name, (Flag) in the video example.
DGet
The DGet function is used to bring the remaining data across using the Data Validation list as its trigger. The DGet function works in a similar way to a Lookup working with a database of information.
I think that the best uses of these functions is in a catalogue of stock or parts. The parts or stock could have a photo which would be returned as and when required along with all the other data normally associated with lookups.
