I'm curious if there is a possibility to insert an image (for example produced by Matplotlib) into an Excel sheet using xlwings. I've seen some tips regarding handling charts, but not images. If not, then I guess it's worth trying pywin32?
I'm using xlwings 0.19.5
sht.pictures.add(fig,name='Chart',left='A1',top='A1')
Should work to add a picture to Excel. Change fig to your image.

I know most of you would advise me to just get the data with xlsread() and plot it in Matlab. However I still want to know if it's possible to get a chart from excel to the matlab report generator as an image (or any other format) by coding it so it's automated.
The reason is I am supposed to make a report using multiple excel files that I did not create and that contains graphs that I would like to put in my report. So that would be more convenient if I could just copy the graphs & charts into my report.
Most of the things I found were saying to plot it with Matlab and nothing else. As i understand with xlsread you can only get [NUM,TXT,RAW]. So is there a function in the Matlab Report Generator to import the Excel graphs or should I just resign myself into reploting everything?
To do what I wanted I followed #CrisLuengo's suggestion and wrote a VBA macro in my spreadsheet that swipes in all the workbooks I have and exports all my charts as jpg.
I am using the technique found here to paste a range as a picture into Outlook.
As users are on different versions of Office, we must use late binding techniques.
When the image is pasted, it is much smaller than the original.
When you manually paste the image, it is pasted as its original size.
I have tried different pasting methods. Is there is a work-around for this?

I need to call for graphicall object ( basically a picture inserted to excel spreadsheet). Does anybody know how to do it? xlrd or win32com or something specific?
it looks like I found workaround. here is an example of extraction images from excel using VBA macro and as pics saved I can call for them from python
I have pasted (paste special, paste link) data a cell in Excel into PPT.
I update the excel data and simultaneously I can see the data change in the PPT slide (edit mode)
However, when I run the PPT slideshow:
the data does not update (in PPT when I update in Excel)
the data no longer updates, even when I return to PPT edit mode
Does anyone know if it's possible to have a live link within the PPT slideshow?
(that's not broken by running the slideshow).
[MSOffice 2010 on Win7] VBA can probably help, but I'm not a VBA programmer...
This stackoverflow.com link is very similar, but needs VBA: Linked Excel Object in Powerpoint wont update when showing in slideshow
TIA
PS Context: This is so that I can display an ever-changing number at an auction on one screen (eg on PPT slide), when I change the data on another (eg Excel) using [dual display: laptop + TV]
This needs to be done using VBA and a class module, as far as I'm aware. There are several potential solutions in the link you provided, but without VBA, I don't think this is possible.
Fortunately, someone else has created an add-in designed to resolve the problem you're facing. I think this may be for an earlier version of PPT, so it might not work for you, but it would be a great place to start.
You might consider trying the Add-in which can be found here:

I am using EPPlus for this specific task. It's a really nice and stable library.
