Resolution on pinned excel content is poor

When I "pin" content from Excel to a dashboard the resolution is very poor - it turns into a very fuzzy screen shot.  I've tried re-sizing the content on both sides and removing the pinned content and trying again, but it's not working.  I'm using the 32-bit version with Excel 2016.

 

Is there anything I can do to make the content legible on my dashboard?

    The content of the tile is streched/squeezed to fill as much of the tile space as possible, without changing the aspect ratio. To keep the image as sharp as possible, try to make the source image as close as possible to the tile size. having the source a bit bigger is better than having it a bit smaller because scaling down has usually better results than scaling up.

    If that is not satisfactory, you can set the tile to show the content without scaling, by activating the "Keep original content size" in the tile details panel.

    If you convert a worksheet to PDF and view on a tablet the image is really sharp but it's suffering when pinned to dashboard

     

    In addition I've noticed white space around a range which I cannot get rid of and comes into the tile

     

    Would be great to get this sharpened up - it's an excellent feature
