I going to guess that you are talking about the C libxlsxwriter and not the Python XlsxWriter.

In which case the C library doesn't currently support urls for images. The Python module does.

Update:

As of version 0.8.9 libxlsxwriter supports images with urls.

Thank you Sir for prompt reply. – Vaishali Aug 24 '16 at 16:49
But can you suggest any way out? The client is insisting and I have no option. – Vaishali Aug 24 '16 at 16:51
You can either use the Python module or open a feature request against libxlsxwriter. However it is likely to be a few months before it is added. – jmcnamara Aug 24 '16 at 17:07
Sir, is it possible to embed the python script for writing xlsx file in original c program? – Vaishali Aug 25 '16 at 06:24
