Here is a working example to insert peppers.png in the cell B2 :

im=imread('peppers.png');
imshow(im);

dpi = get(groot, 'ScreenPixelsPerInch');  % Get screen dpi
print(gcf, sprintf('-r%d', dpi), ...      % Print the figure at the screen resolution
      '-clipboard', '-dbitmap');          %   to the clipboard as a bitmap

excel = actxserver('Excel.Application');  % Create server object
excelWorkbook = excel.Workbooks.Add(1);   % Add a workbook
excelSheet = excel.ActiveSheet;           % Get the active sheet
excelSheet.Range('B2').PasteSpecial();    % Paste from clipboard (top left corner
                                          %   of image will be in the cell 'B2')   
%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%% My contribution %%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%
excelSheet.Shapes.Item(1).LockAspectRatio='msoFalse';            %Unlocking aspect ratio
excelSheet.Shapes.Item(1).Width=excelSheet.Range('B2').Width;    %Adjusting width
excelSheet.Shapes.Item(1).Height=excelSheet.Range('B2').Height;  %Adjusting height
%Uncomment the next line if you want the cell to keep the image fit in its particular 
%cell even if the size of the cell is changed later
% excelSheet.Shapes.Item(1).Placement='xlMoveandSize';

excelWorkbook.SaveAs('figtest.xlsx');     % Save workbook to a file
excelWorkbook.Close();                    % Close workbook
excel.Quit();                             % Quit server
excel.delete();                           % Delete server object
