The only way you can include info from a specific cell is to use Excel
VBA:

You can include the value of a cell in the header. For example, the
following code will put the value of cell B5 on Sheet2 into the header
of the activesheet.

ActiveSheet.PageSetup.LeftHeader = _
Format(Worksheets("Sheet2").Range("B5").Value)

You need to use VBA to do that. Right-click the Excel LOGO (Near the file
menu) and select View Code, paste this in (edit it to suit):
Private Sub Workbook_BeforePrint(Cancel As Boolean)
ActiveSheet.PageSetup.LeftHeader = Range("A12").Value
End Sub
