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

Locked Question. This question was migrated from the Microsoft Support Community. You can vote on whether it's helpful, but you can't add comments or replies or follow the question.
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
And telling us to give smileys and add to the user voice forum because they can't be bothered to track the community anymore is a farce. I am totally disillusioned by the fact that globally only a couple of hundred people see this issue. I have a hard time believing that the professional Mac & Office crowd is so small. I wonder whether the majority of operations have resorted to using numbers and or completely different productivity suits.
still, how you can add less to your new, updated and improved version and start calling basic elements, features is beyond me.

There are silos. The Microsoft Answers community (this one right here) is user-to-user. Microsoft never tracked this forum for Mac users.
The UserVoice forum is two-way sort-of. Users post feature suggestions and respond to them, and if something intrigues Microsoft (usually by getting lots of votes) they reply to the suggestion.
The Microsoft Office for Mac crowd is not very small at all. Garnter reports suggest that Apple is on the verge of selling more desktop computers than all the Windows boxes combined.
as you can see from our angry posts... NO.
Please make your voice heard at the only forum MS staff looks at these days:

I have been using Excel for my company invoices for some time (Excel 2011) and I had a simple company logo (just text) with multiple fonts and font sizes. This had been created in Word (Office 2011) and pasted into the header of Excel (2011). This worked fine. Recently, opening up an old invoice to use as the template for a new one I found that Excel 2016 had stripped out the header. Pasting the text back in to the header from word just dumped unformatted text and the formatting options in Excel are pathetic, even so I eventually managed to get it looking sort of similar (no kerning control), when I attempted to exit from the header Excel told me the text exceeded 255 characters (the number of characters in the text string, including spaces is 185, according to Word) hence excel would not save the changes. I'm so please I upgraded to Excel 2016! It was also then that I found I could no longer insert any form of image into the header / footer. Fortunately my scanned signature in the footer from the old invoice was still there and has not been stripped out. Microsoft makes me so happy :-) - I really appreciate new improved versions of the software going backwards.
