Line in header excel

We would like to add a horizontal line to the header of an Excel file to be repeated on every page.

To add a horizontal-line we first need to create an image of a horizontal line in your favorite imaging software.

Create a PNG image 660 by 3 pixels and color it in some shade of gray.  Save the image with an appropriate meaningful name.  You will be using this file each time you need to add a line to Excel header of footer.
Now, insert this image into Excel header:

Note that &[Picture] code should be bellow any other code that you have in the header.

Now we have a nice Excel header with a horizontal line that serves as a visual separator:

The same technique applies to the Excel footer.  Here &[Picture] code should be above any other code that you have in the header:

There is one more method to place a horizontal line in Excel 2007 header, without using images.  Just with underscore symbols.  If you place this into your custom Excel header:

You will get these results bellow:

This is not bad, for a simple low-tech solution.

You can add headers or footers at the top or bottom of a printed worksheet in Excel. For example, you might create a footer that has page numbers, the date, and the name of your file. You can create your own, or use many built-in headers and footers.

Headers and footers are displayed only in Page Layout view, Print Preview, and on printed pages. You can also use the Page Setup dialog box if you want to insert headers or footers for more than one worksheet at a time. For other sheet types, such as chart sheets, or charts, you can insert headers and footers only by using the Page Setup dialog box.

Click the worksheet where you want to add or change headers or footers.

On the Insert tab, in the Text group, click Header & Footer.

Excel displays the worksheet in Page Layout view.

To add or edit a header or footer, click the left, center, or right header or footer text box at the top or the bottom of the worksheet page (under Header, or above Footer).

Type the new header or footer text.

To start a new line in a header or footer text box, press Enter.

To include a single ampersand (&) in the text of a header or footer, use two ampersands. For example, to include «Subcontractors & Services» in a header, type Subcontractors && Services.

When you create an Excel table, a table Header Row is automatically added as the first row of the table, but you have to option to turn it off or on.

When you first create a table, you have the option of using your own first row of data as a header row by checking the My table has headers option:

If you choose not to use your own headers, Excel will add default header names, like Column1, Column2 and so on, but you can change those at any time. Be aware that if you have a header row in your data, but choose not to use it, Excel will treat that row as data. In the following example, you would need to delete row 2 and rename the default headers, otherwise Excel will mistakenly see it as part of your data.

The screen shots in this article were taken in Excel 2016. If you have a different version your view might be slightly different, but unless otherwise noted, the functionality is the same.

The table header row should not be confused with worksheet column headings or the headers for printed pages. For more information, see Print rows with column headers on top of every page.

When you turn the header row off, AutoFilter is turned off and any applied filters are removed from the table.

When you add a new column when table headers are not displayed, the name of the new table header cannot be determined by a series fill that is based on the value of the table header that is directly adjacent to the left of the new column. This only works when table headers are displayed. Instead, a default table header is added that you can change when you display table headers.

Although it is possible to refer to table headers that are turned off in formulas, you cannot refer to them by selecting them. References in tables to a hidden table header return zero (0) values, but they remain unchanged and return the table header values when the table header is displayed again. All other worksheet references (such as A1 or RC style references) to the table header are adjusted when the table header is turned off and may cause formulas to return unexpected results.

Click anywhere in the table.

Go to Table Tools > Design on the Ribbon.

In the Table Style Options group, select the Header Row check box to hide or display the table headers.

If you rename the header rows and then turn off the header row, the original values you input will be retained if you turn the header row back on.
