I'm pretty new to excel. My question is, is there a way to have the date
in
the header/footer roll back one day? And if it is a Monday, can it roll
back
to Friday? If I use a cell for the date it throws the entire format for a
loop and I end up having an entire row with just 1 thing in it. Any help
would be greatly appreciated.
