    I figured out a way to accomplish my task without using the FindChild method by using a series of nested If...Then statements.

     

    The logic looks like this: 

    If... [spreadsheet lists this word]

         then... click this object.

    Else

          If... [spreadsheet lists this other word]

                 then... click this other object...

          Else

An easier option would be to use the FindChild method to find the image name that you will provide in the excel sheet.

 

FindChild : https://support.smartbear.com/viewarticle/69449/

 

Algorithm:

Declare ParentObject & ChildObject

Assign ParentObject

Assign ChildObject = ParentObject.FindChild("ImageName",ImgNameFromExcel,5)

If ChildObject Exists Then Do something

 

NOTE: The above algorithm has to be coded in your language of preference
