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

    Unfortunately, this feature still isn't available in the latest Insider Preview Excel release (15.20).  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.

    Wow, this is just unbelievable.

    I just bought Office so I could create a Excel file for a client. What do I tell them? Sorry, the most current version of Excel is useless??!

    No not useless, just has some annoying limitations, like the headers / footers with respect to format, insertion of graphics, no decent VBA editor, just to name a few. We are all hanging out in the hope that MS will fix these and get excel back to something useful.
