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
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.
As DanTheMan mentioned earlier, you can see Microsoft's statement about this feature here:
does anyone know if there a change at this point for the image in header @ excel?
its been 8 months...

Microsoft is slowly getting the laughing stock of the scene. It is absurd that they cannot allow the implementation of a company logo in the headline (yes, there are companies that issue their invoices with Excel). Not to mention the 10 other key complaints I have that they never resolved.
