Excel For Web: "Picture > Place In Cell" is Gone

I’ve noticed this too—“Place in Cell” in Excel for Web isn’t consistently available across all platforms. On desktop browsers, the feature has been rolling out gradually and sometimes disappears if Microsoft is testing changes or running A/B experiments. That’s likely why you still see it on iOS but not on your Windows browser.

A couple of things you can try:

Clear browser cache or test in another browser to rule out a local issue.

Make sure you’re signed in with the same Microsoft account and that your tenant has the feature enabled (some features appear first on consumer accounts vs. enterprise).

Check the Microsoft 365 Roadmap / Message Center since this feature has been flagged as “in preview” before, and rollout timelines can shift.

Unfortunately, there’s no manual setting to “re-enable” it—it depends on Microsoft’s feature flags. If it’s critical for your workflow, you might want to raise a support ticket or use the Feedback option in Excel for Web to add weight to the request.
