Inserting a picture into an excel sheet

Can a picture inserted into excel be used as a background by sending it to the back like in powerpoint, or is there another way of layering different data levels?

RE: Inserting a picture into an excel sheet

Hi William

Thank you for your question.

The nearest option I can think of enables you to set a background image by going to the Format menu and choosing Sheet > Background. From there you can select a picture file to display behind the chart. Be aware though that Excel will tile the image to make it fit the entire sheet so your picture will repeat.

I hope this helps - do let us know if you have any questions.

Kind regards,
Andrew

Excel tip:

Printing spreadsheets without opening them first

Here's a fast way of printing a spreadsheet from Windows Explorer/My Computer.

Go to the location where the spreadsheet is saved on your computer, then right-click on the icon next to the document and select Print from the menu.

The spreadsheet will automatically open, print and close itself.
