Formula to Embed a file object in my excel sheet.

Hi,

I want to embed(insert) a file object in my current sheet from a external
Java program. Is there any formula to perform this operation ?

Thanks.

If you mean to create a link you can use the below formula
=hyperlink(link_location,friendly_name)

If you are looking to embed a file then try the below macro. If you are new
to macros..

--Set the Security level to low/medium in (Tools|Macro|Security).
--From workbook launch VBE using short-key Alt+F11.
--From menu 'Insert' a module and paste the below code.
--Get back to Workbook.
--Run macro from Tools|Macro|Run selected macro()

'Change the asd to file fullpath and filename
Sub Macro3()
ActiveSheet.OLEObjects.Add Filename:="fullpath and filename within
quotes", _
Link:=False, DisplayAsIcon:=True
End Sub

Hi,

I cannot use Macros as it cannot be invoked from my library. I need some
function which can be executed to embed objects.

There is no inbuilt function in excel to embed an object.

From menu InsertObjectCreate from File
Browse to navigate to folder and select the file
InsertCheck 'Display as icon' and hit OK.
