To add an image in a cell, use the following formulas to change the size of the image in the cell. You must have a URL for the image you're adding.

• Size to fit: Type =IMAGE("URL") or =IMAGE("URL", 1) into the cell with the image URL. This formula will scale the image to fit inside of the selected cell. If the cell is bigger than the image you're inserting, the rest of the cell will be white.
• Stretch to fit: Type =IMAGE("URL", 2) into the cell with the image URL. This formula will stretch the image to fit inside the cell. The image height x width ratio won't be preserved.
• Original size: Type =IMAGE("URL", 3) into the cell with the image URL. This formula will add the image into the cell at its original size. If the image is bigger than the cell, some of the image may be cut off.
• Custom size: Type =IMAGE("URL", 4, height, width) into the cell with the image URL, and your custom height and width (in pixels). This formula will add the image into the cell with your custom size.
