Hello,

I'm currently working on a spreadsheet, and I need three pictures in the header. However, I can't find how to do this in Excel 2016. Did Microsoft remove the option? Does anybody know how to do this?

It's funny because I opened a previous version created in Excel 2011, and it shows the picture and then Excel crashes. 

Thank you in advance for your answers

    I to have attempted to try your "Workaround" with no success. Where are you putting "&[Picture]"? If placed in the header you are not asked to browse for a picture and the result displays as "". In the header the menu Insert > Picture is greyed out so no picture can be inserted and it is impossible to drag and drop into the header. Can you provide a bit more info as Jim suggests.

    Having the very same problem, extremely annoying since the issue been known since last year!!!

    Workaround: insert "&[Picture]", browse for a picture and thats it. Picture is however static, so you need to make sure it has the right size before insterted.
