How to reference a text cell that changes weekly in Header or Foo.

[Guest]

In LOTUS 1-2-3 in the Header or Footer you can reference a text cell in the
worksheet and have the contents appear in the Header/Footer. The text cell
referenced changes weekly for date or some other text and this command puts
the text automatically in the Header/Footer. How do you do this in EXCEL/

Private Sub Workbook_BeforePrint(Cancel As Boolean)
With ActiveSheet.PageSetup
.LeftFooter = Format(Date, "dd mmm yyyy")
End With
End Sub

'This is workbook event code.
'To input this code, right click on the Excel icon on the worksheet
'(or next to the File menu if you maximise your workbooks),
'select View Code from the menu, and paste the code

You need a macro. Right-click the Excel LOGO near the File menu, select View
Code, enter this (this example assumes you want the contents of cell D1 in
the right header
Private Sub Workbook_BeforePrint(Cancel As Boolean)
ActiveSheet.PageSetup.RightHeader = Range("D1").Value
End Sub
