How do I use the IMAGE function with local images?

Anonymous

I want to use a cell value as the image name so it puts each image in a new cell that matches that cells file name.

I tried linking online image files so I know it works but whenever I try local images it just errors. I saw that local images may not be available yet, has there been an update or a work around yet?

Thanks

    Some users of Excel will have these new options available. This should be available to most beta channel users, and this will be followed by availability for certain subscribers:
