Header/Footer Date Format
 

Hi, I would like to have my date format in the header/footer to be
dd/MMM/yyyy. However the 'Date Button' in the header screen only gives me a
format of dd/MM/yyyy. My Regional settings are as i need them to be. Date
format in my actual worksheet is as i want it.....just not in the
header/footer ?

This is a bit basic but the way I've achieved this is to actually go into the
footer and type in the date exactly as you want it to appear.

Hi David

You would have to use code to change it.

You could add the following code to the ThisWorkbook Module

Private Sub Workbook_BeforePrint(Cancel As Boolean)
ActiveSheet.PageSetup.CenterFooter = Format(Date, "dd mmm yyyy")
End Sub

Copy the Code above
Alt+F11 to invoke the VB Editor
Double click on the ThisWorkbook module in Project Explorer
Paste code into white pane that appears
Alt+F11 to return to Excel

It will get invoked automatically when you Print or do a Print Preview
