There are various ways in which you can call MATLAB from Excel:

Spreadsheet Link EX allows easy data transfer between Excel and MATLAB. Also allows easy importing of a MATLAB figure into an Excel Worksheet.
MATLAB's COM Automation Server you will need to write your own VBA code though. Also embedding/importing the graphics isn't nearly as easy.
MATLAB Builder EX allows you to compile your MATLAB functions into Excel Addins. These Add-ins can work without an actual MATLAB installation and license.
