Thread: prevent Excel background from tiling?

When adding a picture as a background in Excel it appears to tile the
picture. I've changed the size many times, but I can't find a size that fits
the screen without some tiling showing. It's OK to tile as long as I can get
the picture to exactly fill the screen so it only shows the picture and not
part of it repeating. I hope that made sense. Thanks for your help.

There's no way to prevent the background picture from tiling.
You could add some white or grey around the picture, to frame it, and it
might be less obvious that a bit of tiling has occurred.
