I was having a terrible time figuring out how to place an image on an Excel spreadsheet using the OpenXML SDK. Finally, I found this terribly complicated code sample on the internet somewhere that seems to get the job done.

I can hardly make heads or tails out of this code sample. However, the next thing that I want to do is to place the image at a specific point on the spreadsheet and insert some numerical data into the cells.
I have written some code that inserts numeric data into the cells, but when I try to combine it with this code to insert an image, strange exceptions are thrown. Furthermore, try as I may to change the "position" and "offset" elements in the code, the image always appears in the upper-left hand corner of the spreadsheet.
How do I make this code place the image at an arbitrary point in my spreadsheet and how do I add some numeric data in the cells of the spreadsheet.
