Hi all,

I want to display the text: "Period Report to: December 2009" on the print out of a report I produce every month. I always publish the report at the start of the following month, so December's report will come out in January and January's in Fenruary, etc.

I know I could change the headers every month, but I always forget to do it. I have this code, but don;t know how to get it to say the previous month instead of today's date:

Private Sub Workbook_BeforePrint(Cancel As Boolean)
With ActiveSheet.PageSetup
.RightHeader = "& Period Report to: " & Format(Now, "DD-MMM-YY")
End With
End Sub

Any help would be great.

Thanks,

Lee

Does the VLOOKUP table have to be sorted?
No! when you are using an exact match, the VLOOKUP table can be in any order. Best-selling items at the top is actually the best.
Sort by date Sort by votes
Try this:

Code: 
Private Sub Workbook_BeforePrint(Cancel As Boolean)
With ActiveSheet.PageSetup
.RightHeader = "& Period Report to: " & Format(DateAdd("m", -1, Date), "mmmm")
End With
End Sub

or
Code: 
Private Sub Workbook_BeforePrint(Cancel As Boolean)
    ActiveSheet.PageSetup.RightHeader = "& Period Report to: " & Format(Date-28, "mmmm yyyy")
End Sub
