IMAGE function not working
I'm trying to use the new IMAGE function on desktop Excel (win 11). Build 15726.20202 According to the availability info on https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/office/image-function-7e112975-5e52-4f...

Hi Microsoft Team,
I’m an Excel 2016 user and really appreciate the product. However, I’ve noticed that the =IMAGE function is available only in Microsoft 365 and the web version.
Many of us who are using perpetual versions (Excel 2016 / 2019) would love to see this function back-ported. It’s a small but powerful feature that makes dashboards, catalogs, and reports much more useful.
Not everyone can move to 365, but we still look up to Excel for improvements. Adding =IMAGE to 2016 and 2019 via update would make these versions more practical and user-friendly.
Please consider including this in a future update.
Thanks for listening and for continuing to improve Excel!
