Link page header with cell contents
Is there a way to link the contents of a cell with the page header so that it
can change automatically when the cell changes. Also this would allow us to change one cell and then link it to the header on several pages. Thank you. -- Respectfully Matthew Russell |
Instead of changing the header each time the cell changes, you could change the
header when you do a print (or printpreview). Kind of like: Option Explicit Private Sub Workbook_BeforePrint(Cancel As Boolean) With Worksheets("sheet1") .PageSetup.LeftFooter = .range("a1").value End With End Sub This goes into the ThisWorkbook module.

Thank you Dave... that's a great idea. I feel stupid in that it seems so
simple and obvious, I should have realized it sooner. But sometimes writing code all day, I lose track of the simplest answers expecting it to be something much more complex than it really is.

Link page header with cell contents
Is there a way to do this without using a macro?

Dave,
can you also code font and font size into this program?

Link page header with cell contents
Expanding on this topic.
I'm using concantenate to set up the Header I want to use. Example would be 'April Year to Date" How can i turn this into a two line header? Specifically.. April Year to Date The code is retrieving data from one cell. I thought about setting up the data on two cells but i still can't figure out how to set up two lines in the header.

I would do the concatenation in the header. With April in A1 and Year to Date in A2 Sub foo() With ActiveSheet ..PageSetup.LeftHeader = Range("A1").Value & vbLf & Range("A2").Value End With End Sub Gord On Tue, 1 May 2007 03:42:01 -0700, Bryan W.H. wrote: Expanding on this topic.
