Hi everybody,
I have code to add the year to the header, but I need it to run through all sheets and it only works for the active sheet. Also, I wanted to have it use Arial, bold and font size 18. I've tried many different things that I thought might work, but they don't. I made the lines that aren't working into comments just to hang on to them for now. Please see below. Any help is greatly appreciated, thank you!

VBA Code:
Sub header_year()

  Dim ws As Worksheet
  
  For Each ws In ThisWorkbook.Sheets
    With ws
      With ActiveSheet.PageSetup
        '.CenterHeader.Font.Name = "Arial"
        '.CenterHeader.Font.Size = 18
        '.CenterHeader.Font.Bold = True
        .CenterHeader = Chr(10) & Format(Date, "yyyy") & " TRAFFIC DIVISION"
      End With
    End With
  Next ws

End Sub
 

Excel Facts

Is there a shortcut key for strikethrough?
Ctrl+S is used for Save. Ctrl+5 is used for Strikethrough. Why Ctrl+5? When you use hashmarks to count |||| is 4, strike through to mean 5.
Your "ActiveSheet" never changes, as you are not selecting any other sheets!
Remove that reference, i.e.
VBA Code:
Sub header_year()

  Dim ws As Worksheet
  
  For Each ws In ThisWorkbook.Sheets
    With ws
      With .PageSetup
        '.CenterHeader.Font.Name = "Arial"
        '.CenterHeader.Font.Size = 18
        '.CenterHeader.Font.Bold = True
        .CenterHeader = Chr(10) & Format(Date, "yyyy") & " TRAFFIC DIVISION"
      End With
    End With
  Next ws

End Sub

Hi Joe,
Thank you for that simple fix. Do you happen to know about the 2nd part of my question regarding having it use Arial, bold and font size 18?

Thanks!
