Images can't be referenced from a URL, you need the image in your local filesystem because PHPExcel needs to extract information from that image. Use curl (or even file_get_contents()) to pull the image to the local filesystem first. Once the image has been embedded in the Excel document, you can delete the file again.

You can put false as the second option in the setPath() method. Tcpdf gets the image from the URL and PHPExcel doesn't throw an exception.
