Hi folks, tried a million iterations and can't get this nice little macro to complete footer with a formatting... I want it to finish with a grey colour rather than black. Any suggestions please? Thank you kindly in advance...


Public Sub SetFooter()

sheetlist = Array("Presentation")
For i = LBound(sheetlist) To UBound(sheetlist)
Worksheets(sheetlist(i)).Activate
Application.ScreenUpdating = False
With ActiveSheet
.PageSetup.CenterFooter = .Range("g30").Text

End With
Next
End Sub


By the way, the poor coding above was a mishmash to restrict the macro to the single worksheet I wanted it applied to [hangs head in shame]... but it works at least :)

Excel Facts

Which came first: VisiCalc or Lotus 1-2-3?
Dan Bricklin and Bob Frankston debuted VisiCalc in 1979 as a Visible Calculator. Lotus 1-2-3 debuted in the early 1980's, from Mitch Kapor.
I reduced the unecessary!...

With ActiveSheet
.PageSetup.CenterFooter = .Range("e30").Text

Hi

Try:

Code:
ActiveSheet.PageSetup.CenterFooter = "&K808080" & Range("E30").Text

Remark:
You did not specify which shade of grey and so I just picked one.
To specify a colour you use "&K" followed by the hex value of the rgb colour value.
