Excel Footers and Headers

[Guest]

Is there anyway to do one footer and header and have it apply to the entire
workbook. I have 70 sheets I'd like to add the filename, tab and date but
didn't want to have to go into all 70 worksheets to add. I've tried in print
view for the workbook but it only did the sheet it was viewing at the time.

Right-click on a sheet tab and "select all sheets"

Set up your header/footer on the active sheet and will be done to all sheets.

DO NOT FORGET to right-click and "ungroup sheets" when done.

What you do to one sheet will done to all and can lead to disaster if forgotten.

When multiple sheets are selected the word [Group] will appear next to the
filename on the title bar.

Try grouping your worksheets
Click on the first worksheet tab
and ctrl-click (or shift-click) to select more.

Then change the header/footer

Remember to ungroup the sheets when you're done.

Almost anything you do to one sheet in a group, you do to all.

rightclick on a tab|ungroup sheets is a quick way to ungroup.
rightclick on a tab|Select all sheets is a quick way to select all the sheets.

his is possible if you can download an add-in titled ASAP utilities which is free. Under ASAP Utilities menu, Format submenu has a submenuitem called "Copy print settings to another sheet".

This opens up a very friendly dialoue box allowing you to copy the print settings from one sheet to another / multiple sheets.

Try this!!
