I have an excel workbook with 6 worksheets. Each worksheet has a different header. Each week, I want to be able to change 4 of the worksheets footers without changing their headers. When I group the 4 worksheets and change the footer; it changes the headers too. Is there a way to change 4 of the worksheets footers without doing it one worksheet at a time and not changing the headers?
 

Excel Facts

Convert text numbers to real numbers
Select a column containing text numbers. Press Alt+D E F to quickly convert text to numbers. Faster than "Convert to Number"
Hi Choc1209 - If I understand your question correctly, what I did was select the 4 worksheet that you want to change. Then select the Page Layout mode which shows the headers and footers. Then make your changes to the footer (which should be replicated across all selected sheets), leaving the headers alone. Hope this helps.

Choc1209 - I see what you mean. My previous suggestion I don't think works. You might try something like the code below. Hope that helps.

Code:
Sub SameHeadersDifferentFooters()

    Sheets("Sheet1").Select
    With ActiveSheet.PageSetup
        .CenterHeader = "Same"
        .CenterFooter = "Different11"
     End With
    Sheets("Sheet2").Select
    With ActiveSheet.PageSetup
        .CenterHeader = "Same"
        .CenterFooter = "Different12"
     End With
    Sheets("Sheet3").Select
    With ActiveSheet.PageSetup
        .CenterHeader = "Same"
        .CenterFooter = "Different13"
     End With
    Sheets("Sheet4").Select
    With ActiveSheet.PageSetup
        .CenterHeader = "Same"
        .CenterFooter = "Different14"
     End With
End Sub

Excel > Alt + F11 > insert module

Code:
Sub SameHeadersDifferentFooters()
Sheets("Sheet1").PageSetup.CenterHeader = "Same"
Sheets("Sheet1").PageSetup.CenterFooter = "Different11"
Sheets("Sheet2").PageSetup.CenterHeader = "same"
Sheets("Sheet2").PageSetup.CenterFooter = "Different12"
Sheets("Sheet3").PageSetup.CenterHeader = "Same"
Sheets("Sheet3").PageSetup.CenterFooter = "Different13"
Sheets("Sheet4").PageSetup.CenterHeader = "Same"
Sheets("Sheet4").PageSetup.CenterFooter = "Different14"
End Sub

Is there a way to change 4 of the worksheets footers .... and not changing the headers?
Welcome to the MrExcel board!

Another code to try. Further detail on implementation ..
1. With your workbook active press Alt+F11 to bring up the vba window.
2. In the Visual Basic window use the menu to Insert|Module
3. Copy and Paste the code below into the main right hand pane that opens at step 2.
4. Close the Visual Basic window.
5. Press Alt+F8 to bring up the Macro dialog
6. Select the macro & click ‘Run’
7. Your workbook will need to be saved as a macro-enabled workbook (*.xlsm)

Code:
Sub Change_Footers_Only()
  Dim ws As Worksheet
  
  For Each ws In Sheets(Array("Sheet1", "Sheet2", "Sheet4", "Sheet6"))
    ws.PageSetup.CenterFooter = "New Footer"
  Next ws
End Sub
