Export Attachment from outlook to excel cells

0 votes

I'm having trouble getting attachments out of Outlook and into Excel cells. The file itself, not the filename, is the attachment. For instance, if the file is a PDF, only the PDF itself—not the filename or the contents inside the PDF—will be extracted to the cells. I am familiar with saving attachments to folders, but not cells. This is the code:

Sub GetOutlookDetails()

Dim olApp As Outlook.Application
Dim olNS As Outlook.Namespace
Dim olFldr As Outlook.MAPIFolder
Dim olItem As Object
Dim olMailItem As Outlook.MailItem
Dim ws As Worksheet
Dim iRow As Long
Set ws = ThisWorkbook.Worksheets("Sheet1")
Dim lastrow As Long

Set olApp = New Outlook.Application
Set olNS = olApp.GetNamespace("MAPI")

'Set Location Mailbox
Set olFldr = olNS.Folders("Cash Allocations UKI")
Set olFldr = olFldr.Folders("Inbox")
Set olFldr = olFldr.Folders("GB - United Kingdom")

iRow = 5

Application.ScreenUpdating = False

'Find Unread email only in Mailbox
For Each olItem In olFldr.Items

If olItem.UnRead = True Then
    If olItem.Class = olMail Then
    Set olMailItem = olItem
        With olMailItem
            ws.Cells(iRow, "A") = .SenderEmailAddress
            ws.Cells(iRow, "B") = .Subject
            ws.Cells(iRow, "C") = .Body
            iRow = iRow + 1
        End With
    
    End If
    End If

Next olItem
Application.ScreenUpdating = False

'Remove Wrap Text
Columns("C:C").Select
With Selection
    .WrapText = True
    .Orientation = 0
    .AddIndent = False
    .IndentLevel = 0
    .ShrinkToFit = False
    .ReadingOrder = xlContext
    .MergeCells = False
End With
With Selection
    .WrapText = False
    .Orientation = 0
    .AddIndent = False
    .IndentLevel = 0
    .ShrinkToFit = False
    .ReadingOrder = xlContext
    .MergeCells = False
End With
Range("A5").Select

'To put "."
lastrow = ThisWorkbook.Worksheets("Sheet1").Range("C" & Rows.Count).End(xlUp).Row
Range("D5:D" & lastrow) = "."
End Sub

the idea is to embed the attachment received in each emails to column E

ws.Cells(iRow, "E") = .Attachments 'Stuck here

You will need to save the attachment as a file (Attachment.SaveAsFile, where Attachment object comes from the MailItem.Attachments collection), then insert it as an object using Worksheet.OLEObjects.Add. See https://www.howtoexcel.org/embed-pdf/ for more details.
