Any way to use a VLOOKUP formula in Numbers to insert an image instead of text value?
The images aren't the actual content of the cell, they're just cell formatting (background image), and formula cannot interact with formatting, only with cell contents.
Conditional formatting can only apply a restricted set of formatting options and unfortunately images are not one of these.
AppleScript does not provide the ability to set cell background images, only cell background colours (even though shapes and text items do have the ability for background images).


Therefore currently this is not possible.
