title: SSRS Report with Logo Image export to Excel
body: <p>I have created some reports with the Microsoft SQL Server Report Builder and I'm trying to add a logo image to the top of the report. The report works so far and I managed to add the logo.</p>
  
  <p>The problem is, that the logo doesn't show up after exporting it to Excel.</p>
  
  <p>What I have tried so far (Image is Embedded and not from a Database or External):</p>
  
  <ul>
  <li><p>Set a background image for the whole report and use different BackgroundRepeat settings.
  Result: Clip worked nice while displaying on the web browser, but the image was repeated x and y direction when exporting to Excel.</p></li>
  <li><p>I have tried to edit the RDL manually and set the BackgroundRepeat to "NoRepeat" for the background image. Result: Couldn't upload the report because of invalid BackgroundRepeat value.</p></li>
  <li>I have created an extra textbox for the image and only added a whitespace so that the field would be displayed.
  Result: Worked fine in browser, empty cell in Excel (I have read about Excel not being able to display images in cells).</li>
  <li>I have created a header in the Report Builder and added the logo image there. Result: Again good in Browser, empty cells when exporting to Excel.</li>
  </ul>
  
  <p>I hope someone can help me with this problem. I just want to have the logo somewhere in the top (preferably top left above the table), only once (not repeating) and both for displaying the report in the browser and for the excel export.</p>
  
  <p>EDIT: The screenshots are from the last bulletpoint version. The file format is jpeg and set in the MIMEType field.</p>
