Date in Header
 

How can I manipulate the date in the header for a date 5 days from now
or five days from anytime a sheet is printed. (With a Macro):confused

You'll have to use some VBA to to this.

Option Explicit
Private Sub Workbook_BeforePrint(Cancel As Boolean)
With Me.Worksheets("Sheet1").PageSetup
.LeftHeader = Format(Date+5, "mm/dd/yyyy")
End With
End Sub

If you want to try...

rightclick on the excel icon to the left of the File|Edit|View toolbar.
Select view code and paste that subroutine into the code window.

Change the sheet name that you need (and .leftheader to what you need) and back
to excel to do File|Print preview.

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

Thanks to both of you, I found a solution using input from each of you.
