CoercionType doesn't support Image for Excel web add-in - excel

For office js API, based on this link, Office.CoercionType.Image should be supported in Excel. But I find Office.CoercionType.Image is undefined in Excel Online. Only Text, Matrix, and Table have values.
BTW, it seems that OneNote also supports Office.CoercionType.Image which is not listed in the document.

Thanks for your post, This is a known gap for Office.CoercionType.Image that is not supported for Excel Online at this moment, we have documented for this at https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/office/dev/add-ins/reference/requirement-sets/image-coercion-requirement-sets
What's your scenario? can you use shape.AddImage?
Another suggestion: would you please provide us feedback via https://officespdev.uservoice.com/forums/224641-feature-requests-and-feedback?category_id=163563 and upvote for this feature. thanks for your support.

Excel services snapshot removes page breaks

I am using Sharepoint Excel services to produce reports, and noticed that when users download their excel services workbooks as a snapshot, any page breaks set up in the original spreadsheet are lost. I cant seem to find any mention of this problem in any sharepoint forums or microsoft, just wondering if anyone else has experienced this or even has a solution? Thanks
A lot of information and functions of the workbook are not available in Excel Services.
Also the Snapshot does not "remember" such settings like page break or in my case landscape orientation for printing.
Here are some references for what is supported and what is not supported:

Read Microsoft Excel Sheets from a Windows Store Application

I want to develop a Windows Store app that reads data from a Microsoft Excel Sheet.
I'm looking for a solution for this, something like hosting the Excel sheet on a server and using some API or an SDK to read its content.
Also can SharePoint Online, Azure or Office 365 provide such functionality ? I didn't work with these tools before so I don't know what they can really offer for my scenario.
What can be the best solution to achieve this ?
You can refer the following link for SDK to read Microsoft Excel files,

picture library no ribbon - How to check in all checked out pictures in one step?

I have a picture library. The versioning is turned on. My problem is that there is no option to check in all the checked out pictures in one step. The ribbon is completey missing from this library. How can I do this?
Thanks in advance.
Picture Library in Sharepoint 2010 does not have the Ribbon GUI implemented in it, may be due to Microsoft has to deliver the product at time.
Picture library uses the same functionality as Sharepoint 2007.
You cant find ribbons in Picture library in Sharepoint 2010.
I hope i understand your question right
Thanks
