Use Workbook

Workbook - The existing workbook to use.

Input

Image left - The horizontal offset from the anchor cell, in pixels. The value must be 0 or greater. The default value is 0.
Image top - The vertical offset from the anchor cell, in pixels. The value must be 0 or greater. The default value is 0.
Image width - The width of the image, in pixels. The value must be 0 or greater.
Image height - The height of the image, in pixels. The value must be 0 or greater.

The Image width and Image height values determine how the image is scaled:

Image width	Image height	Result
Not set	Not set	The image keeps its original dimensions.
Set	Not set	The height scales proportionally, preserving the aspect ratio.
Not set	Set	The width scales proportionally, preserving the aspect ratio.
Set	Set	The image uses the exact dimensions you set. The aspect ratio is not preserved.

Note:

The image is anchored to the cell that you specify in Cell, which limits how you can position it:

Image left and Image top are capped at the width and height of the anchor cell, so an offset larger than the cell places the image at the cell's edge instead.
If you resize the anchor cell, the image moves with it, but keeps its own dimensions.

The activity does not support anchoring an image between two cells, or placing an image at a fixed position that is independent of any cell.
