How do I change the default header date format in Excel 2007?
Co-worker wants to use Long Date format in header or footer, but it always
displays as short. Older versions of Excel there was a format button. I have also tried to change the default Date using Control Panel regional & language setting..... Thanks Keith |

Re: How do I change the default header date format in Excel 2007?
The options for date format in header/footer is limited to short date
settings in Regional and Language settings. No difference with older versions..........no format button that I ever heard of. To enter a custom formatted date in a header or footer you will need VBA. ActiveSheet.PageSetup.RightFooter = Format(Date, "mmmm dd, yyyy") Gord Dibben MS Excel MVP On Wed, 10 Jun 2009 13:06:01 -0700, Jazzman721 <Jazzman721@discussions.microsoft.com> wrote: >Co-worker wants to use Long Date format in header or footer, but it always >displays as short.
