I need that an specific cell contents will appear in the header of several
pages. How should I define it?
 
This is an example that puts the current contents of cell B9 in Sheet1 in the
header for Sheet1. Put the following event macro in the workbook code area:

Private Sub Workbook_BeforePrint(Cancel As Boolean)
With Sheets("Sheet1")
.PageSetup.CenterHeader = .Range("B9").Value
End With
End Sub

Because it is workbook code, it is very easy to install and use:

1. right-click the tiny Excel icon just to the left of File on the Menu Bar
2. select View Code - this brings up a VBE window
3. paste the stuff in and close the VBE window

If you save the workbook, the macro will be saved with it.

To remove the macro:

1. bring up the VBE windows as above
2. clear the code out
3. close the VBE window
