Question

I am using xlsxwriter for generating report , i have inserted one image , i am trying to scale it by x_scale 63% and y_scale :62% , and want to put my image in center of three row (Row height of each row is 40, column width is 22.50), but unable to insert it perfectly , in my generated xlsx file the scaling factor got changed , please provide a solution for problem

worksheet.insert_image("B2", filename, {"image_data": image_data, 'x_offset': 17.0, 'y_offset': 7.0, 'x_scale': 0.61, 'y_scale': 0.55})

A better way to do this is probably with the embed_image() method. This requires the latest version of XlsxWriter:

Can you try that and see if it suits you requirements better?

@jmcnamara thank you for your response, I am using XlsxWriter==3.1.9 , and this embed_image() function doesn't work for me. also I have set DPI 96 of an inserted image and using x_offset ,y_offset only but it scaled my actual size of image .

Could you try version 3.2.0?

That error usually means that the version of Excel doesn't support that feature and needs to be upgraded. You can test that by trying to manually insert an image using the Excel Pictures -> Place in Cell" option. If the version of Excel doesn't have that option, or it doesn't work, then you will need to upgrade Excel.
