What I have tried:

I saved it as png in picture folder and using VBA pulled all into Excel. But I would like for it to go directly into Excel

Yes, it is possible.

You just need to write a Prt Scr handler and then write the code to save the graphics as an image in Excel.

Try this tool for the handler part, https://www.autohotkey.com/, and then write your code to save a file in Excel.
