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
Hi James,
You posted this on October 27th, 2015...today we are January 10th, 2017....and nothing has been done. I can "stay tuned :-)" but staying tuned for more than a year with NO PROGRESS is no fun.
If you have any update please do so.
Kind Regards,
Erik
Hi Erik - Thanks for asking about this again. We are hoping to enable this in the coming months. I wish I could commit to a specific date, but the best I can do is say that we know it's very important. Unfortunately, there have been other very important things that we've had to work on before this.
After you insert your header go to the Design tab (Header & Footer tools), then select Picture.
It will load as &[Picture] in the header, when you click off of the header the image appears.
Hi
Is this screen shot and info for the mac version of XL? I do not get this on Office for Mac , see screen shot. Presently this feature that was in version 2011 , was mysteriously taken out of 2016 . In summary , I can;t do what you are proposing.
