No, the best you can get is number columns by ToolsOptionsGeneral and
check R1C1 Reference style.

Another frig would be to remove row and column headings
(ToolsOptionsView), and put the numbers in B1:IV1, and the letters in A2
down, select B2 and freeze the headings (WindowsFreeze Pane)

In the original setting of excel, the column name starts from "A", "B",
"C",
....so on and the row name starts from "1", "2", "3".... so on. Is it
possible to change the setting to the column name starts from "1", "2",
"3"
and the row name starts from "A", "B", "C" ?

Many thanks in advance !
