I would like to be able to set a message to print in the footer/header of a
printed page depending on certain criteria in the spreadsheet.

Can someone suggest/advise how I could go about this.

Thanks in advance
Dean

Dean,
A starter (from recording a macro as I added header and footer
to a worksheet). Change the header /footer sections as required according to
your selection criteria.

e.g

With ActiveSheet.PageSetup


If condition = criteria then
.LeftHeader=' .... whatever .."
else
.LeftHeader= " ... something else .."
End If
.....

End With



Range("A1:J32").Select
ActiveSheet.PageSetup.PrintArea = "$A$1:$J$32"

With ActiveSheet.PageSetup
' Header Sections .......
.LeftHeader = "My Left Header Section"
.CenterHeader = "My Centre Header Section"
.RightHeader = "My Right Header Section"
' Footer sections .....
.LeftFooter = "My Footer Left"
.CenterFooter = "My Footer Centre"
.RightFooter = "My Footer Right"

End With

You would want to put such code in the BeforePrint event. If you are not
familiar with events, see Chip Pearson's page on events

You can use VBA to set the BeforePrint to print the same footer


Private Sub Workbook_BeforePrint(Cancel As Boolean)
With ActiveSheet
If .Range("A1") = "my value" Then
.PageSetup.LeftFooter = "Some text"
End If
End With
End Sub


'This is workbook event code.
'To input this code, right click on the Excel icon on the worksheet
'(or next to the File menu if you maximise your workbooks),
'select View Code from the menu, and paste the code
