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

    Dear James,

    We are now at Version 15.34 of Excel 2016 for Mac and it is now 562 days since your reply to Joe suggesting he "stay tuned". A lot of us have stayed tuned and have held our breath waiting for the ability to be able to insert images back into the header/footer of excel. We are all getting a bit blue in the face. Any idea when this feature will be reinstated back into Excel 2016 for Mac making it slightly more consistent with the Windows Office Family??

    I get it , and a good solution Phillip . What I have noticed thuogh when I have done this , previouly the b&w image [ logo]  worked seamlessy in 2011  , BUT in 2016 it looks like it is pasted on, no longer seamless blend  , when saved as PDF. 

    The solution to the issue is to use 2011 and get rid of 2016 . a little bit backwards methinks.  I lke som of the new features of 2016 , but this just seems to be a silly sticking point that won't get resolved.

    This thread is soooo long. That I may be at risk or repeating something already suggested.

    If you still have Office 2011  start your worksheet in Excel 2011. At the very start of this thread, I posted how in Excel 2011 you inserted pictures into headers/footers. Insert your Picture and format size in Excel 2011. Now save the file and open in 2016. You will not be able to move or format the picture, but it will show up in Excel 2016.

    This response is 16 months old and we still don't have a fix. And yes, I have installed the latest update. 

    When exactly can we expect this feature to be restored?
