In Excel is it possible to put a cell referenc in a header or footer?

With the use of VBA, yes.

Sub CellInFooter()
With ActiveSheet
.PageSetup.CenterFooter = .Range("A1").text
End With
End Sub

Via code? Yes.

You can use the workbook_beforeprint event to modify the header.

Option Explicit
Private Sub Workbook_BeforePrint(Cancel As Boolean)
With Me.Worksheets("sheet1")
.PageSetup.CenterFooter = .Range("a1").Text
End With
End Sub

This goes behind the ThisWorkbook module.
