If you're new to TypeScript and struggling with advancing images into separate cells correctly, you're not alone. In this guide, we will break down how to effectively use Office Script to achieve this, ensuring each image lands in its own designated cell. The Problem: Overlapping Images Suppose you're fetching images from a SharePoint list through Power Automate and sending them to an Excel sheet. However, every image gets placed on top of one another, causing a jumbled layout. This is a common issue when you don't set up your script to calculate the correct cell for each image. Let's discover how we can solve this. The Solution: Dynamic Cell Offset To avoid overlapping images, you will use Excel Script's getOffsetRange method. This handy function allows you to navigate to the next row in a column based on your loop iteration. Here’s how to structure your Office Script for this task. Sample Script Code [[See Video to Reveal this Text or Code Snippet]] Code Breakdown Setup the Workbook and Worksheet: First, we obtain the workbook and specify the sheet name and image address. Add the Image: We create an image using addImage(base64ImageString) method. This is what we’ll be offsetting later. Loop through the Images: The for loop starts from 1, not 0. This ensures that the first image starts from the specified cell and not the cell above it. Inside the loop, you obtain the nextcell using getOffsetRange(i, 0). Each iteration moves down to the next row. Set Image Properties: For each image, you set its position, width, height, and other properties to ensure neat and organized placement. Key Takeaways Dynamic Positioning: Ensure that your loop increments the row based on the number of images you’re inserting. Start Index: Begin your for loop from 1 to prevent images overlapping the target cell. Utilizing Offsets: Use getOffsetRange(i, 0) to navigate row-wise effectively. With this structured approach, you can seamlessly insert images into your Excel sheets without overlaps. This not only tidies up your spreadsheet but also leverages the power of Office Script and TypeScript effectively. We hope this helps you move images dynamically in your Excel workflows!
