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.
Thank you for your understanding and patience.
