It took some rooting around, but here it is – provided your version of Excel (.xlsx) has these features.

1)Page Layout/Scale
2)Save As – PDF
3)Export – JPGFirst, in Excel, in the Menu Bar, select Page Layout, and then Scale to Fit.

Last, open the file in Acrobat, and click on EXPORT. In my case I chose to export a JPEG –
Which, when Inserted into a BPL post [the 'Insert Image at Cursor' button is above and right of the Comments box], looks like this –

As long as you want.
