Saving figures to Excel

Is there a feature in MATLAB that will allow me to save a
figure to an Excel sheet, just like xlswrite where I give
it a cell to save it to

Use OfficeDoc on the file Exchange:

I tried the officedoc command
[file,status,errMsg] = officedoc
('tx_compare_rates.xls', 'open', 'mode','append');
status = officedoc(file,'write',rate2,'H1:P23',
[figsavemag '.fig']);

 and received the following error:
??? Error setting officedoc property '6 MHz':
Invalid field name: '6 mhz'.

Error in ==> tx_compare_rates at 135
status = officedoc(file,'write',rate2,'H1:P23',
[figsavemag '.fig']);

I want to write a bitmap or the .fig file to the H1 cell,
to the rate2 sheet, where rate2 = '6 Mhz', and file

Following 'write', you need to specify properties in
name-value (P-V) pairs. In your case:

status=officedoc(file,'write','sheet',rate2,'range','H1:P23','image',myImage);

the supplied myImage parameter may be an image filename or a
handle to a Matlab figure.
