Can someone tell me how to print an '&' (ampersand) in the footer? Iam using a macro to populate the footer and have tried (1)using Chr(38) and (2)including it in a string (ex. "A & W"). It just sees it as a non-character and prints nothing. Thanks!

How to fill five years of quarters?
Type 1Q-2023 in a cell. Grab the fill handle and drag down or right. After 4Q-2023, Excel will jump to 1Q-2024. Dash can be any character.

If you want an & symbol in the header or footer, just use two ampersands:

Code:
ActiveSheet.PageSetup.CenterFooter = "A && W"
