Using Image Function but Print Preview is #Unknown

Insert a picture in Excel for the web

The IMAGE function in Excel for the web has some limitations compared to the desktop version, and one of these limitations may be causing the #UNKNOWN error in the print preview.

Here are a few potential reasons why you might be encountering this issue:

1. Unsupported Image Formats: The IMAGE function in Excel for the web may not support all image formats. Make sure that the images you're trying to insert are in a supported format such as JPEG, PNG, GIF, or BMP.
2. Image URLs: Ensure that the URLs you're using in the IMAGE function are valid and accessible. If the URLs are incorrect or the images are hosted on a private server, they may not display properly.
3. Permissions: Check the permissions of the files or URLs you're trying to insert. If the images are hosted on a server that requires authentication or permission to access, they may not be visible in Excel for the web.
4. Excel Version: While Excel for the web continues to improve with each update, it may not support all features available in the desktop version. Consider using the desktop version of Excel if the IMAGE function is essential for your workflow and the web version is not meeting your needs.
5. Browser Compatibility: Ensure that you're using a supported browser for Excel for the web and that it is up to date. Some features may not work as expected in older or unsupported browsers.

If none of the above solutions resolve the issue, you may need to consider alternative methods for inserting and displaying images in Excel for the web, such as using the insert image feature or embedding images directly into the spreadsheet. Alternatively, you could search the upper links.
