Hello Habib,
I did not find any link to download this lesson… 🙁
Hello Syed – for this lesson a file will not be needed, hence I have not left a link for you. Follow the video lesson and you can add a header to any excel file, even a blank spreadsheet. All the best 🙂

Hey there 🙂
Very informative post I have to say. It is not often to come across videos and posts related to Ms-Office programs, especially Ms-Excel, since it is hard. I know because I use word and excel in our office and even though I know so little, I am better than everyone else 😛
However, what you have provided here is something I didn’t know, and I thank you for that.
Good luck!
Azimi.
You are very welcome. I recommend you show everyone at work in your office our site and YouTube channel, they can soon learn many skills of Excel, very easily as you have done – sharing is caring, lets get wiser together 🙂

This is a great article. The video is very informative for anyone wanting to learn about excel. I thought I knew quite a lot about excel, however, after watching your video, I realised there is so much I do not know. I look forward to more quality content.
Happy to hear you thought it was a quality tutorial and you learnt about the Header in excel, and adding an automatic filename in the header of excel. I do recommend starting from lesson 1 though, to make the most of my lessons in Excel. I will be creating many more tutorials, covering all software of Microsoft Office. Take care

Thank you so much for this highly informative article, Habib! You did an excellent job of breaking down the process of inserting a header and automatic filename in the header. I’m a very visual learner, and as such, I find that following along as someone demonstrates the process makes things easier for me to understand. I have saved your article and will definitely share it with my friends and family. God bless you!
Thank you for your feedback – visually following someone demonstrating is the best way to learn. I will be creating many more tutorials and putting them up on our site and our YouTube channel. So don’t forget to bookmark and subscribe to our channel. The care
