The Image function messed up my spreadsheet and I cannot remove it

I have an old spreadsheet that has worked well for over two years.  Feeling confident, I want to add some photos this year and I looked into Image().  I put the photos (JPG) on ImageKit and put the URL in an Image function in one sheet.  Seems to have worked fine.  Then I tried to use a cell reference in another sheet to get the Image from the original sheet.  Then I read that won't work so I want to remove that column.  But now I get 3 different error messages, one of which says the worksheet is broken.

This file is on DropBox because it is used by different committee members.  I have tried all the repair buttons that come up and none have worked.  I'd be happy to give up on the Image() function if I could just get back to the way it was before I started using Image().  I do not have a backup of the file.  Any help and suggestions are appreciated.  Thanks - Joe

    With your permission, I recommend to provide more information.

    You'll get a quicker and more accurate answer, and those who want to help don't have to invest time guessing the problem.

    I recommend: Always inform about your Excel version, operating system, storage medium/hard drive, etc.).

    If possible, add a file (without sensitive data) and use this file to describe your issue step by step, or add photos with the appropriate description.

    Don't forget that not every Excel user has a clue about every job and what you see he can't see.

    How I provide more Details.

     

    Thank you for your understanding and patience.
