Custom Pattern Fills in Excel 2013












2















I would like to be able to add my own custom pattern fills for projects I am working on in Excel 2013. For example, I would like to have a brick-like pattern, and a horizontal hash line pattern.



enter image description here



Does anyone know if it is possible to create custom pattern fills to be used in Excel 2013?

          After researching this I don't think it is possible I found nothing that allows this and it probably would not be allowed as others opening the file wouldn't have the custom fill patterns.



          An idea I had was to replace the cell contents with a image based on a value but the VBA I found was very befuddled and hard to understand I did however find that you can use following to insert images into to the cells based on a value



          http://www.extendoffice.com/documents/excel/1858-excel-insert-image-based-on-cell-value.html



          I have used other items they produce before and they are reliable.
