How to insert a picture in header or footer in Excel 2016?

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

    Hi James

    Just updated my Excel, and this problem has still not been fixed. When will it be addressed please? It is frustrating that a product I pay for has lost a function it used to have, yet nothing is done to remedy it!

    Regards

    Be sure to repeat your comments in the UserVoice forum where your comments are read by Microsoft employees. In this forum it's pretty rare (but not unheard of as you can see) for Microsoft employees to view your ideas.

    Enable pictures or photos to be inserted into the header of an excel sheet

    How much longer are you going to take to fix this function? It's like owning a car without lights. I can drive it at daylight but it's useless at night. 

    EVERY company using excel has a Logo in its documents! EVERY COMPANY! Come on! It's ridiculous to jump backward and forward between Excel versions to use this most basic feature. 

    Fix it!

    This is a user-to-user forum. I don't work for Microsoft now, nor have I ever. The moderators here are volunteers and users just like you.

    I completely understand your frustration. However, Microsoft employees are not likely to read your comments in this forum. If you want Microsoft to see your comment use the Smile button in Excel or add your comment to others at the UserVoice link I referred you to earlier:

    Enable pictures or photos to be inserted into the header of an excel sheet

    If you scroll through the postings on UserVoice you will see a reply from Microsoft's Dan Battigan dated May 4, 2016. He's the person in charge of Excel for Mac. He said,  "...we see the input on this idea, and through other feedback channels. The best way to influence the timing is to continue to add votes, etc."

    Feedback sent using either the Smile button in Excel or the Uservoice form IS read by Microsoft employees. Here, in the "community" forum, the audience is limited primarily to fellow users of Microsoft products.
