Add the data from a cell into the header

Hi,

You cannot reference a cell in the Header section (Say by typing =C5) that will not grab the value. However there is a tricky way to resolve this issue by recording a simple Macro and trigger it before printing.

Here is a Tutorial that covers exactly that issue:

if you do not want to watch the Tutorial then do the following:

1. Hit ALT + F11 >> opens the visual Basic editor
2. Right Clisk where it says "This Workbook"
3. Above the white working area there are 2 drop lists
4. Select "Workbook" from the Left Drop List
5. Delete the 2 lines that appeared automatically
6. Copy & Paste this code:

Private Sub Workbook_BeforePrint(Cancel As Boolean)
Dim Sh As Worksheet
For Each Sh In Me.Worksheets
Sh.PageSetup.CenterHeader = Sh.Range("C5").Value
Next Sh
End Sub

You can replace CenterHeader by LeftHeader or RightHeader

replace C5 by any cell of your choice

On the Other hand , in the Page Setup dialog box (Shortcut is ALT, P, S, P) >> Header Tab >> Custom Header >> You have some icons to include predefined functionality such as Date, Time, File Name, Sheet Nam ...etc

Hope that helps you
