Using Macro in Excel to match SKUs and Images

In the below video you will see how you can use the macro here to find out what images exist/match the SKU code provided in the Excel file:

Creating an Excel VBA macro to accomplish the tasks you've described would involve several steps. Here's a step-by-step guide on how to create such a macro:

Open Excel and press Alt + F11 to open the Visual Basic for Applications (VBA) editor.
In the VBA editor, right-click on "VBAProject (Your Workbook Name)" in the Project Explorer on the left and select "Insert" -> "Module" to insert a new module.
Copy and paste the following VBA code into the module:

Sub ConceptSauce_ImageMatchHelper_Debug()
    Dim folderPath As String
    Dim destFolderPath As String
    Dim ws As Worksheet
    Dim rng As Range
    Dim cell As Range
    Dim fso As Scripting.FileSystemObject
    Dim filenamesDict As Object
    Dim baseFilename As String
    Dim response As VbMsgBoxResult
    Dim moveFiles As Boolean
    Dim lastSearchFolder As String
    Dim lastCopyFolder As String
    Dim debugOutput As String

    ' Set default folder paths from named ranges, if available
    On Error Resume Next
    lastSearchFolder = ThisWorkbook.Names("LastSearchFolder").RefersToRange.Value
    lastCopyFolder = ThisWorkbook.Names("LastCopyFolder").RefersToRange.Value
    On Error GoTo 0

    ' Prompt user for the folder
    With Application.FileDialog(msoFileDialogFolderPicker)
        .Title = "Select a Folder to Search"
        .InitialFileName = lastSearchFolder
        .AllowMultiSelect = False
        If .Show = -1 Then
            folderPath = .SelectedItems(1)
            ' Save the selected folder path
            SetNamedRange "LastSearchFolder", folderPath
        Else
            Exit Sub
        End If
    End With

    AddFilesRecursively fso.GetFolder(folderPath), filenamesDict

    ' Get the active worksheet
    Set ws = ThisWorkbook.ActiveSheet

    ' Ask user to select the column to match
    On Error Resume Next
    Set rng = Application.InputBox("Select a range", "Select cells with filenames to match", Type:=8)
    On Error GoTo 0
    If rng Is Nothing Or rng.Cells.Count = 0 Then Exit Sub

        End If
    Next cell

    response = MsgBox("Do you want to copy or move the found files to a new folder?" & vbCrLf & _
                      "Yes = Copy, No = Move, Cancel = Exit", vbYesNoCancel + vbQuestion, "File Operation")
    If response = vbCancel Then Exit Sub

    Next cell

    ' Output debugging information
    ' Debug.Print debugOutput
    ' MsgBox debugOutput, vbInformation, "Debugging Information"

    MsgBox "Process complete!", vbInformation, "Done"
End Sub

' Optimized recursive subroutine to add files from folder and subfolders
Sub AddFilesRecursively(folder As Scripting.folder, filenamesDict As Object)
    Dim fileObj As Scripting.File
    Dim subfolder As Scripting.folder
    Dim baseFilename As String

    For Each fileObj In folder.Files
        If InStr(fileObj.Name, ".jpg") > 0 Or InStr(fileObj.Name, ".png") > 0 Then
            baseFilename = Trim(Split(fileObj.Name, ".")(0)) ' Trim spaces from base filename

' Function to set or update a named range with folder path
Sub SetNamedRange(rangeName As String, folderPath As String)

    ThisWorkbook.Names.Add Name:=rangeName, RefersTo:="=""" & folderPath & """"
    On Error GoTo 0
End Sub

Close the VBA editor and return to your Excel workbook.
To run the macro, press Alt + F8 to open the "Macro" dialog, select "CheckFileNames," and click "Run."
Make sure to enable the correct reference.
1. Go to References: In the VBA editor, go to Tools > References.
2. Find and Enable "Microsoft Scripting Runtime": Scroll through the list of available references, check the box next to "Microsoft Scripting Runtime", and click OK.
