Can -putexcel- be used to export graphs in .tiff format? Appears no?

[Jay Gold]

Hi,

I have used -putexcel- to export graphs easily if the graph is in .png format. It appears it cannot be done in a .tiff format?

This works for .png files:

        graph export graph.png, 
        putexcel A1 = picture (graph.png) 
        putexcel save

This does not work for .tiff files:

        graph export graph.tif, 
        putexcel A1 = picture (graph.tif) 
        putexcel save

This also does not work for .tiff files:

        graph export "graph.tif", as(tif) replace
        putexcel A1 = picture("graph.tif")
        putexcel save

Also does not seem to make a difference if I use -putexcel save- or -putexcel close-.

Thanks for any insights!

I've not tried to experiment, but I found this in the help:

image(filename) writes a portable network graphics (.png), JPEG (.jpg), Windows metafile (.wmf), device-independent bitmap (.dib), enhanced metafile (.emf), or
bitmap (.bmp) file to an Excel worksheet. The upper-left corner of the image is aligned with the upper-left corner of the specified ul_cell. The image is not
resized. If filename contains spaces, it must be enclosed in double quotes.

I can't see mention of picture() in the help.
