Reloading image from separate file on each Excel-sheet open

I do have a process in my computer that produces a status describing image in intervals. Each 5 seconds the new status check is done and the image on a disk is renewed.
In that very same directory there is an Excel-sheet that collects information from the computers various places (text and numbers) and that piece of information is presented as a spreadsheet.
I would very much like to place that status image on that spreadsheet too, but there is my snag. It's easy to place a image from a png-file to the spreadsheet, but how can I make it happen that it takes the very latest image version to be displayed. Is there a way to command that displayed image is reloaded from the file each time this excel is opened?
