SYMPTOMS
When you link a picture in a worksheet to a cell, the picture may not be immediately updated when you change the cell.
CAUSE
This problem may occur after you apply a conditional format to the cell to which your picture is linked.
NOTE: The same problem may happen if you already applied a conditional format to the cell, and you then link a picture and change the conditional format.
RESOLUTION
To resolve this problem, press F9 to recalculate the worksheet.
If you do not want to recalculate the entire worksheet, do the following:
- Select the cell to which your picture is linked.
- Click Bold on the formatting toolbar.
- If you do not want to apply the Bold format to the cell, click Bold once more.
STATUS
Microsoft has confirmed this to be a problem in the Microsoft products listed at the beginning of this article.
