Header and Footer in excel are similar to headers and footers in word or in power point. It is a piece of text, images, special objects (page number, current time….) that are repeated on the sheets.
The only difference is in the insertion steps, if in word it is on the Insert tab…in excel it is in the Page Layout tab, Print Preview, and on printed pages. For other sheet types, such as chart sheets, or charts, you can insert headers and footers only by using the Page Setup dialog box
