To create the bar chart inside the excel file, you will need to use the ActiveX interface to talk to Excel on MS Windows (will not work on Mac or Linux)
There are two approaches.
One approach is to create a graph at the MATLAB level, and convert the graph to an image, and insert that image into the excel file. See https://www.mathworks.com/help/matlab/matlab_external/example-reading-excel-spreadsheet-data.html#bqfirb9 for an example.
The other approach is to use the ActiveX interface to send VBA plotting commands to Excel. See an example at https://www.mathworks.com/matlabcentral/answers/463285-plots-in-excel-sheets-using-matlab#answer_376014

Your excel file has no much data. You can read the data from excel file into workspace using readtable.
T = readtable('test.xlsx') ;
You can use the table to plot what you want.,

So you want to use Matlab to create a bar chart in your excel file? Why not do that in excel directly?
