We have a process on our server which creates a CSV that gets e-mailed
to a recipient who then opens it in MS Excel.
We're using PHP to write the CSV, but that's not important.
Is there some way to put into the CSV some instruction that will cause
Excel to display the image in the open spreadsheet?
Of course there're all kinds of ways of inserting and embedding images
in a spreadsheet using Excel from the get-go...but every method I try,
I save as a CSV and open in notepad, and the package or embedding code
isn't there.
The closest I've come is putting a hyperlink to an image in a cell,
but that requires a person to click on the link which opens in a
browser. I need the user to be able to see a column of small images in
the spreadsheet itself.
Any ideas? Is it even possible?
Thanks!
