This is all I get in my dashboard when using this from a google spreadsheet.

The referrer url leads to a shopping site and is apparently from Russia.

Not sure if the script has been compromised or I am having a different issue.

I using the following formula in a google spreadsheet:

=IMAGE("https://ga-beacon.appspot.com/UA-XXXXXX-X/alasdairs-week/aug-14")

Thanks for any clues, Alasdair

AFAIK, that's not sufficient as the beacon image will be cached. See https://mashe.hawksey.info/2014/02/tracking-google-sheet-views-with-google-analytics/
