Thanks for the feedback Sam

If you decided to go with this and need a changing date just alter the A1

formula to =TEXT(TODAY(),"dddd, mmmm d"&", "&"yyyy")

Added info.

Excel only recognizes the Windows Short Date setting for headers and
footers.

Also..............

You can edit the macro for RightHeader or LeftFooter or wherever you want.

Whatever format is in the Windows Regional and Language Settings governs
what
the format is in the header or footer.

These are very limited and Excel recognizes only a few for header
formatting.

To get a header date format of your choosing use a cell reference for the
header.

e.g. In A1 enter =TEXT(DATE(2006,12,10),"dddd, mmmm d"&", "&"yyyy")

Then run this macro.

Sub CellInHeader()
With ActiveSheet
.PageSetup.CenterHeader = Range("A1").Value
End With
End Sub
