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 thanks I had the same issue and this worked for me also.
The college I am working at was having internet issues so the Excel copy on there just hung with a white screen so I thought I would email the file to my own computer to add the image but then I had the bad request error whilst Excel also popped up a box asking how happy I was with Excel.
It's a bit rubbish that you need an internet connection just to insert a file from your local hard drive into a local Excel file also stored on your local hard drive!
