This simply adds a photo to the entire sheet. It does not lock it into a cell.

The closest thing I have learned to do is embed a photo into a comment. But even this is not what I really want. I'd like the photo to live in the cell and then enlarge if needed by clicking on it or something.

Is this possible??

The following link has instructions on how to get it to move and size with a cell. The procedure is very similar in the current version of Excel for Mac (with minor differences on the location or names of some of the commands but I was able to follow it). I don't know of a way to have it enlarge by a click. http://www.ehow.com/how_5452020_insert-picture-excel-cell.html

I've found the simplest approach to do it, everything is explained here:

By the way, you can use RowShare to insert pictures in a sheet.

In Excel For Mac, version 15.11.2, use the Excel Insert > Picture menu item.
