Data Mesh & Images

mel.greenspan

Our teams rely heavily on the image thumbnail in the cells. We created a plug-in from image database to bring in images using Data Uploader successfully. However, when we try to use Data Mesh to push the images across multiple sheets, it only maps the file name. e.g. "image01.png". I understand that it's truly doing a "data mesh" by pulling the image data. However, how do we pull the actual image into cells using Data Mesh and NOT just the image file name?

Hi Mel,

Unfortunately, as far as I know, it's not possible at the moment, but it's an excellent idea!

Hi Mel,

You can pull in image thumbnails via data mesh by selecting 'create cell link' instead of 'copy data' in your setup. The cell links can be removed in the destination sheets once the thumbnails copy over, and the image will still remain.
