I’m trying to create a set of flashcards in Excel that utilizes a named range lookup for the active flashcard (one example here: https://youtu.be/rTyZmSHDLBA), which works fine.

If the image is larger than the referenced cell being looked up, then the named range formula doesn’t work correctly. So, I’m trying to figure out a way to either resize the cells the image touches or resize the image to fit the cell. Either solution would be sufficient.

I was going to upload a sample file here, but wasn't sure how to add it. If it's any help, let me know and I'll upload it.

Thanks for your help!

Can you AutoAverage in Excel?
There is a drop-down next to the AutoSum symbol. Open the drop-down to choose AVERAGE, COUNT, MAX, or MIN
try this to resize all pictures in the active sheet

Code:
Sub ResizePicture()
    Dim p As Shape, c As Range
        For Each p In ActiveSheet.Shapes
            Set c = p.TopLeftCell
            'resize to maximise size within cell
            p.Height = c.Height:    If p.Width > c.Width Then p.Width = c.Width
            'move
            p.Left = c.Left:        p.Top = c.Top
        Next
End Sub
