Is there an easy way of incorporating the contents of a cell in the Custom Header (or footer) for that page in a workbook? I want to incorporate a % figure in the header so that it updates when I amend the percentage figure in cell A1. The figure must be formatted as e.g. 5% and not .05.
Can this be done?

Return population for a City
If you have a list of cities in A2:A100, use Data, Geography. Then =A2.Population and copy down.
code;
Code:
With ActiveSheet.PageSetup
        .CenterHeader = Format(Range("a1").Value, "0%")
    End With

Thanks for the prompt reply. How do I get this to work? I assume I right click the tab and choose View Code but then what?
