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

The ability to insert images in the header and footer has now been solved by Microsoft in Excel version 15.36. And about time. https://answers.microsoft.com/en-us/msoffice/forum/msoffice_officeinsider-mso_mac/excel-for-mac-insert-pictures-in-headers-footers/b5bc467a-7189-4bf6-be3d-c1a0c928249f
Geoffrey,
In my version of Excel 2016 Version 15.21.1 the "Check for Updates" is still there:
Hope this update is sooner rather than later :)
Unfortunately, this feature still isn't available in the latest Insider Preview Excel release (15.21). There are no options to insert a picture from the Header menu, and copying / pasting an image directly into a header field also failed (no result), although the same image was successfully copied into a random cell.
I've gone back to Office 2011 for Mac on my work computer but keep checking each new release of Office 2016 to see what bug fixes or features have been made available. Surprisingly, very few useful features have been added in the past two releases, and under the Help menu there is no longer an option to Check for Updates!
It's a shame there hasn't been any real progress recently, other than the (partially) customisable Quick Access Toolbar.
this is dreadful - why take away useful features from previous versions?! Microsoft - please add this feature back into next update - i need this!
In this particular forum you are addressing fellow users of Excel, not Microsoft. If you want to make a plea to Microsoft, they listen to suggestions and feedback in this forum, where you can add your vote to the hundreds of votes already cast in favor of fixing this broken feature:

Microsoft's non-committal reply to the the request for this repair as of this morning:
"Thanks for taking the time to make the suggestion. We’ll take a look at getting this back into the product, an we’ll prioritize the urgency according to the votes. Keep the votes coming for the things you want to see soonest.
Thanks
