Cannot add image to Header in Excel - Bad Request error
Another solution I found if you are working on the desktop app is to go into File>Options>General>Privacy Settings>and unclick turn on optional connected experiences. Once you get the picture in, you can turn it back on but you do have to restart office for each. I am teaching Excel and both one of my students and I had the same problem so it may be fairly common.

hskyesong- Thank you for the answer.
As additional information:
a. after un-clicking the optional connected experiences, and...
b. after clicking insert picture at the custom header dialogue box...
c. I receive a message that says... "The service required to use this feature is turned off. Check your privacy settings. -- Work offline / Cancel "
The message seems counter-intuitive.
Select "Work Offline", and then you can insert your image from a file.
My IT folks worked through this solution.
Thanks.
