Enable pictures or photos to be inserted into the header of an excel sheet
Enable pictures or photos to be inserted into the header of an excel sheet

Thanks to all who made their voice heard on this one. In the July 11, 2017 update (version 15.36), you can insert images in headers and footers on Excel for Mac.

My experience: Click in header and then Insert >> grayed out. Click in the sheet, not the header, then click on Insert then Header & Footer >> Options now accessible.

You have to click the 'Insert' at the top, then select the 'Header & Footer' button , then it will let light up the 'Picture' option. Otherwise it doesn't think there is a Header to insert the Picture into.

Was able to insert a photo into the header one time and then needed to insert a new version and now the option doesn't exist. It is grayed out as though the function is disabled.

So still no interest to fix bugs you implement a second time in your software?
You should rethink your customerservice strategy.

Nope Steve K. Your team implemented the bug again. This one is not closed until you solve it and take care that your teammates do not reimplment silly bugfixes!
This is not acceptable for a professional software or a proof that Microsoft gives a f**** about their clinets on a Mac.

Unbelievable that this should even have to be discussed in a piece of 2016 software. Yes, I can now inset an image in to the header, but cannot put it behind text as I can in almost every other Microsoft program. Extraordinary.

What happened to this feature? It was there for a couple of months and now it's no longer available! This is becoming ridiculous!! Can Microsoft please rectify this problem?

I subscribe to Microsoft Office and I am unable to insert a logo into my Excel header on a Mac. You'd think this is a feature the people would use regularly, so why is it not available? Such an unintuitive and clunky experience. Lame. 1.5 hours of my life I'll never get back....
