By default Microsoft Excel doesn¶t provide any option to insert picture directly into a cell in Excel
2003 or 2007. You can place a picture inside a cell but when you do raw filters / sorts it won¶t
behave as it should. Even than you can insert a picture into a cell using a small trick.

We have the above workbook, we need to insert picture into the column B so
when I sort or filter the picture shows hides accordingly.
You can download example from www.exceladvise.com/downloads/insert-picture.xls
