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

    Hi Joe,

    Unfortunately we don't have a workaround today, other than to use Excel 2011. What I can say is that our monthly updates allow us to ship new features to you as soon as they are ready (as opposed to waiting multiple years), and that we realize you're missing a feature that was in the previous version of the product.  Stay tuned :)

    Wow ! 

    I wish I knew the upgrade has less features than previous version, or at least features that were integral  to what I used XL for .

    Very disapointed

    So we are one year further by now, when will it be updated?

    All my previous made documents crash when i want to change the header (which has a picture in it). Although, when I do not edit this picture and just export the document as a pdf, the picture shows in the file...

    I am totally baffled buy the way. Excel is one the most used pieces of software in the world, or am I mistaking?

    You release a new version, the picture option in ht header is gone. Previous documents crash when you open them. And this stays like this for a year? Tell me how this is possible? Have you all fallen asleep?
