I have a template set up that displays and prints six reports. Each report
contains a header showing:

Name of Client
Account#
Title of Report
Date Range of Report


Currently I have the header set up in each worksheet and I input the data
for each report.

I'd like to streamline this if possible,

The client name and number remains the same across all reports

The Title is specific to each report and does not change.

On some reports the date is a range and others it is either the beginning or
ending date of the specified range.


I'd like to input the Name, Number and date range once and have it displayed
in each report.

I was thinking I could have a specific worksheet just for the header, do all
the stuff there and then combine it during print but can't see how to do
that.

Any thoughts?

Thanks,

Vic Baron

ok, I've figured out most of it. Only one problem remaining.

In the headers there is a date range input as a text string - January 1,
2007 to December 31, 2007 or something similar.


What I need to do is extract the string "January 1, 2007" and the "December
31, 2007" from the cell. Given that this is a date range, those two parts
could be any month day year in combination.

Given that the length of the sub-string is unknown, is it possible to
extract it?

I would think that starting from the first character and going to the "to"
and backing off 1 character would give the first substring and then starting
from the "to" + 3 to the end would give the second string.

Can this be done in excel and how?

Thanks,
