Cant Insert Picture on Top of or Into Cell
On excel for mac, I have a template that I am changing the information in for a new document. No formatting changes or anything like that. But when I try in insert a saved png file from my computer, ...
This sounds like Excel is misinterpreting the image insertion as a formula or object reference, may consider below:
Use the “Place in Cell” Option
- Go to Insert > Pictures > Place in Cell > This Device
- Select your PNG file and insert it — this should embed the image inside the cell, not float above it
If no luck
- Try inserting the image using Insert > Pictures > Picture from File (without “Place in Cell”) and then manually resize and position it
- Right-click the image and choose Format Picture > Properties, then select Move and size with cells to anchor it properly
