    Header Trouble--how to escape the "&" character?

    Does anyone know how to make a header only recognize text I want instead of converting it to a formula?

    For example: I'm trying to make my header read "P&L - Company Name", but the in excel it keeps reading the "&L" as align left and wipes it out.


    Thanks!
