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

    So we asked for the ability to insert a picture and we get Cortana, AI in Services, Azure and all that stuff nobody asked for.

    Nice. Not.

    You are funny. Your justification sounds like because Google is testing self driving cars their search page isn't working anymore.

    :-(

    Yes, agreed, it doesn't let them off the hook. If they have to capability of working with AI they surely should be able to fix an option that was available in the previous versions of excel...

    They are robably focusing on integrating emoji's  . A major disapointment.

    Actually, they are focusing on something all encompassing. This focus is so important that I think it will have as big an impact on society as personal computers themselves.

    “Microsoft has been working in artificial intelligence since the beginning of Microsoft Research, and yet we’ve only begun to scratch the surface of what’s possible,” said Shum, executive vice president of the Microsoft AI and Research Group. “Today’s move signifies Microsoft’s commitment to deploying intelligent technology and democratizing AI in a way that changes our lives and the world around us for the better. We will significantly expand our efforts to empower people and organizations to achieve more with our tools, our software and services, and our powerful, global-scale cloud computing capabilities.”

    Microsoft is taking a four-pronged approach to its initiative to democratize AI:

    • Agents. Harness AI to fundamentally change human and computer interaction through agents such as Microsoft’s digital personal assistant Cortana
    • Applications. Infuse every application, from the photo app on people’s phones to Skype and Office 365, with intelligence
    • Services. Make these same intelligent capabilities that are infused in Microsoft’s apps —cognitive capabilities such as vision and speech, and machine analytics — available to every application developer in the world
    • Infrastructure. Build the world’s most powerful AI supercomputer with Azure and make it available to anyone, to enable people and organizations to harness its power

    More information about this approach can be found here.

    It means Excel will soon have Artificial Intelligence capabilities that will be astonishing. Saying this is a major undertaking is an understatement. Still, it is also important to get the expected features working right, too, so all this fancy stuff coming down the pike doesn't let Microsoft off the hook completely.
