Put file name and path on Excel template

Hi Folks

Is there a way of changing the default template in Excel so that it will always put the file name, path and sheet name on in the Header/Footer section or is it necessary to record a macro to do this.

thanks

Hi Shirley,

You can insert the file name & the worksheet name using Page Setup > Header/Footer > Custom Header etc., however I don't think you can insert the file path without using VBA - there's no formula which tells you the path of your workbook.

Try inserting the following code in the "ThisWorkbook" VBA module of your workbook:

Please Login or Register  to view this content.

This will automatically insert the appropriate information in the page header of each worksheet before it is printed.

If you want it to appear in the footer instead/as well, just use "LeftFooter" instead of/as well as "LeftHeader".

Hope this helps - please let me know how you get on.

Best regards,
