INSERT AN IMAGE INTO AN EXCEL CELL WITH A FORMULA!

 INSERT AN IMAGE INTO An EXCEL CELL WITH A FORMULA! 

I want to react to this title with 4-year-old my son’s words: “oh come on, don’t exaggerate like this.” 😊

So, what does it exactly do? What do we use it for?

The IMAGE function has been designed to add an image into a cell from a URL.

Which file extensions does it support?

BMP, JPG/JPEG, GIF, TIFF,ICO,PNG are the extensions that it supports as of now.

Since it is brand new, I want to talk about it in detail:

The function has 5 parameters. Our regular readers here know this but for those with whom our paths have never crossed, I want to reiterate:

In a function, the parameters that with write in [] are optional. But those that are not written in square brackets must be written.

Now let’s go ahead and take a look at our formula:

=IMAGE(source, [alt_text], [sizing], [height], [width])

• SOURCE                  : URL path of the image file, using an “https” protocol
• ALT TEXT (Optional)    : Alternative text that describes the image
• SIZING (Optional)      : Defines the size.
• HEIGHT (Optional)          : Defines the height.
• WIDTH (Optional)         : Defines the width.

.

For example, if you write the formula down below into a cell in Excel,

=IMAGE(https://cdn.ablebits.com/_img-blog/image-function/items/water.jpg; “Okyanus“)

you will see a picture of an ocean.

Let’s say that you have a list consisting of Product Names, Stock Information and Prices. It wouldn’t be so bad to have the images of these products next to them using the IMAGE function, would it? 😊

A not-so-famous philosopher (That is no one but me😊) once said: “ Visualizing the data is just as important as preparing it.”

Great Place to Work Best Workplaces for Women

PEAKUP once again finds its place in Turkey’s Great Workplaces for Women List

Great Place to Work®, the only employee experience platform that offers the opportunity to measure employee experience within the corporate culture and is based on 30 years of research data, announced the list of Turkey’s Great Workplaces for Women. PEAKUP received the “Best Workplace for Women” award after being evaluated by its employees in the survey and won all Great Place To Work awards this year.

PEAKUP, which has a young, innovative and highly professional team that carefully follows the developments in the world, won the “Best Employer Award” as a result of the survey evaluated by its employees. PEAKUP also received the Great Place to Work Certificate for the second time and was included in the list of Turkey’s Great Workplaces for Women at the award ceremony held in the past days.

The Great Place to Work Certificate is awarded to companies that have strengthened the culture of trust within the company and are deemed successful by their employees. While creating the “Best Workplaces for Women” 2021 list, GPTW Turkey considers organizations with a trust culture index of at least 80% for all employees and for female employees. PEAKUP, which has taken important steps to ensure that practices to support female employees are a part of their company strategy and to increase motivation and trust within the company, implements many different projects and methods for its employees. Especially during the pandemic, PEAKUP strengthened their communication even more and switched to a hybrid working system, and managed to keep their internal communication at the highest level during this period.  In their offices, where they prioritize fun and comfort in their working environments, there are game machines, resting areas, spaces specially decorated and separated by colors, a conversation and chat area, and a music area consisting of various instruments. The moment you enter the office, you are greeted by neon lights, a Chevrolet model car, a swing, and a friendly young team.

Personal development trainings organized on employee satisfaction and loyalty, flexible rights, practices that increase internal motivation and trust, and career development opportunities offered to employees are among PEAKUP’s investments in human resources.

“Our Investment in Human Resources and Employee Satisfaction is the Source of Our Success”

Stating that there is a great teamwork behind PEAKUP’s rapid growth in a short time, PEAKUP CEO Ahmet Toprakçı said, “The happiness of the team that makes up PEAKUP has always been at the forefront for us. The peace of our working environment, our sense of trust in each other and having an open communication environment has always taken us further. Every decision we have made for our team, every project we have carried out has come back to us in the form of sustainable growth and success. The work we have done and the methods we have applied also show that while we have been awarded the Great Place to Work certificate for two years in a row, we have received one of the most meaningful awards for me, we have taken our place in Turkey’s Great Workplaces for Women List. I would like to thank our wonderful team for their efforts in helping us receive this certificate.”

Senior Human Resources Specialist Fulya Akıncı said, “As a team, our first priority is to ensure that PEAKUP is a peaceful workplace for people. We strive to be a place where people, regardless of the department they are in, can trust each other unconditionally, enjoy their work and most importantly, act with the feeling that “PEAKUP already thinks the best for me”. We have accomplished many achievements so far, but this award is the most precious among them. It is very meaningful to be worthy of this award, especially in these times when issues such as gender inequality are being discussed around the world. We will continue to do our best until the day when there is no need for award categories of this nature.”

Turkey R&D 250

Today, domestic and national high technologies are in a decisive position with their R&D and innovation power, with intensive efforts to transform value-added solutions into impact and solutions that shape the future. With the increase in R&D and innovation activities, production at medium, high and high technology levels has increased. Knowledge production methods and development-oriented human resources have increased the importance of sustainable resource use and green growth beyond digitalization. Impact-oriented companies that shape a more efficient, cleaner and people-oriented future have been determined. According to R&D 250, the research on the companies with the highest R&D expenditures in Turkey, PEAKUP was among the companies with the highest R&D expenditures in 2018.

While monitoring Turkey’s value-added journey with the “Turkey R&D Survey”, 500 companies in the survey increased their R&D expenditures to 16 billion 995 million TL. While serious steps have been taken in Turkey in recent years regarding R&D activities, the “Turkey R&D 250 Survey”, which was launched in 2013 by the Economy and Business World Portal Turkishtime, has been one of the most important steps to serve this purpose. Thousands of companies have participated in the research so far, and it has continued to be a source for “creating R&D memory in Turkey”.

PEAKUP’s CEO Ahmet Toprakçı said: “As every year, we took our place in the R&D survey this year as well. We are happy to be included in the list and proud to see our contribution to the economy and R&D.
