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

    In its drive towards competing in the consumer market (Apple), Microsoft clearly is leaving behind their bread and butter. Please stop trying to be Apple and instead be Microsoft.

    Also, can someone clarify if the decision to leave this feature out was an accident or was it done on purpose? If this was done on purpose, I would wonder who would decide that putting a company logo on the top of the document is not an important feature?

    Lastly, since this was discovered almost 10 months ago, is it possible that it takes this long to get it re-added? 

    Could you at least confirm that Microsoft intends to fix this? Or are we still waiting for enough "smiley-faces" to be clicked for this to make it to the managers desk?

    The Microsoft response implies they really don't want to fix this.

    When will this feature be fixed, Microsoft?  I need to be able to edit the image in my header, but taking the time to open up the document in Excel 2011 just for that stints my workflow, and isn't at all a viable solution for a now finished product...

    I need a working solution built back in to Excel 2016, I really don't know why this functionality was ever removed.
