view cell content in header
 

Hi folks
Can I customise the header so the left section = the content of a cell
in the sheet eg A1.
All I seem to be able to do is add date, page etc etc..
thanks

You need some VBA code to do this:

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.LeftHeader = .Range("a1").Text
End With
End Sub

This goes behind the ThisWorkbook module.

If you're new to macros, you may want to read David McRitchie's intro at:
