image - How to insert a picture into Excel at a specified cell position with VBA

Question

I'm adding ".jpg" files to my Excel sheet with the code below :

'Add picture to excel
xlApp.Cells(i, 20).Select
xlApp.ActiveSheet.Pictures.Insert(picPath).Select
'Calgulate new picture size
With xlApp.Selection.ShapeRange
    .LockAspectRatio = msoTrue
    .Width = 75
    .Height = 100
End With
'Resize and make printable
With xlApp.Selection
    .Placement = 1 'xlMoveAndSize
    '.Placement = 2 'xlMove
    '.Placement = 3 'xlFreeFloating
    .PrintObject = True
End With

I don't know what I am doing wrong but it doesn't get inserted into the right cell, so what should I do to put this picture into a specified cell in Excel?

Try this:

With xlApp.ActiveSheet.Pictures.Insert(PicPath)
    With .ShapeRange
        .LockAspectRatio = msoTrue
        .Width = 75
        .Height = 100
    End With
    .Left = xlApp.ActiveSheet.Cells(i, 20).Left
    .Top = xlApp.ActiveSheet.Cells(i, 20).Top
    .Placement = 1
    .PrintObject = True
End With

It's better not to .select anything in Excel, it is usually never necessary and slows down your code.
