Welcome to the next section of this Excel 101 course during this section we're going to take a look
at inserting additional elements such as images into your Excel documents.
Now I do want to put another disclaimer on this section.
I love images.
They add a lot of visual content to your Excel documents.
But I do want to stress not to go overboard on this.
It can be really easy to do you know placing an image or two grades but you start adding a lot of clutter
inside of there.
It just turned into that.
It's clutter.
So take a look.
We're going to see how to insert images.
You've got a couple of different ways to do this.
Just try to take it too far as you're inserting images into your documents.
So I want to insert an image and you got multiple ways to do this.
I can insert images that are on my computer.
Maybe it's a picture from the camera that I that I have I snapped the picture of something and I want
to throw this in there.
Maybe it's a scanned image that I put into my computer.
Maybe it's something I downloaded online onto my computer or we can go directly on line and use Microsoft
being Microsoft search engine tool to search for clip art images free images that we can download and
place into our Excel documents.
So take a look.
This is I insert images into your Excel document.
I'm going to go up to my insert tab top of my screen in the Insert tab.
I got a section called illustrations.
And then there I got pitchers pitchers will allow you to grab something that's local on your machine
or network drive on line.
Pitchers will allow you to use Microsoft being to search for images online or if you've got a one drive
account you can hook up to your cloud service one drive through Microsoft and grab images that you might
be storing there as well.
Well for this example this demonstration I'm going to use.
Being the search engine tool to find some free clip art images so I click on online pictures.
It's going to open up my given a moment here.
Insert pictures window and you can see I have two options being or one drive.
Now I'm not going to use my one drive I'm good at being and I'm not.
I mean to say I'll say Bill's I mean him I enter key on my keyboard and it's going to search it's searching
online using being as its search engine to all.
And I got all these images that are being returned to me with the Buffalo Bills that say I'll find a
good one here.
A lot of Buffalo Bill images there.
Let's grab what's got this one here looks like an Excel spreadsheet right with some bill information
.
So click on that to select it.
I'm now going to hit the insert button and this will drop that image into my Excel document.
There it is.
It's great.
Right it adds a little bit to it.
We don't get really wacky with it put a whole bunch of images in here but just that right there.
It's a visual.
People can relate to it.
They can tie that visual image back into the spreadsheet with all these numbers again.
Now for me it's a little bit too big.
So I'm going to grab one of the corners there just shrink it up.
Let's make it smaller and you know what I'm going to make it really small and just put it up there next
to my title.
You know it just for fun I mean a copier Control C Control V to paste and I'll put two of them in there
with but one over here as well kind of balance out the layout of this.
The spreadsheet here but inserting images.
This one came from being search engine tool just insert online pictures search for something drop and
into your Excel document.
You can you can do a little bit of formatting with it not a lot but you can shrink a map you can change
the size and so on.
So try this out insert an image whether you do an online images member this is coming from the Insert
tab online pitchers Reagan used bean or grab something that's local on your system and go browse your
computer whatever you do but insert an image into your Excel documents spice it up give it something
more visual that the users can look at.
Try it out.
