Is this possible with Excel

Hi,

can i have a floating/3D effect background image in excel?

say i wanted to have a water image which is an image that just gives that floating water/3D effect, can i have this just to give my spreadsheet that nice animated dashboard background?

"nice" and "animated background" don't go together. The point of a dashboard is to be easy to read at a glance so the less distraction the better.

Lol thank you...

Is there a way when i add a background image, that image is the same size as my screen?

I know the background images get repeated over the whole spreadsheet but that means you could see the same image mutiple times in the background. What i would have liked is that background image to be exactly the same size as my screen width/size

i know its extra but thought id ask

Not really. You'd have to resize the actual image file and reapply it as a background.
