Default Changing Column Titles in Excel

I want to change the column headings from "A, B, C...etc" to actual
names/titles so that "A" becomes "Serum Code" and "B" becomes "Pt. Code" and
so on. How do I do that?

HI
You can't change the column headings but you can use the first row to create
your heading and hide the top heading by going to Tools Options View
and uncheck Rows&Column Heading

Default Changing Column Titles in Excel

The column headers are either number or letters. Most applications use row
#1 to hold the "real" titles.
