How to remove checkered background

[Legacy 386498]

Hi all,

I have an image with a transparent background that when I insert it in Excel, I still see the transparent background. Is it possible to hide the checkered background?

Thanks.

Manually:

Select Range
Right-click - >Format Cells
Fill Tab -> Pattern Style -> blank box is the first selection

Sorry, I've just realised that's not what was asked.

In Excel (and other Office programs) if you select the picture then on the Format menu select Remove Background.
That might do it for you.
