I was just hoping for a tooltip or statusbar display

One idea...While working on a particular sheet, you could place this code on
that particular sheet module in vba.
It will display the R1C1 address in the status bar.
When you are finished working on the sheet, you could remove it.

Private Sub Worksheet_SelectionChange(ByVal Target As Range)
Application.StatusBar = Target.Address(True, True, xlR1C1)
End Sub

Thanks for the suggestions.

I don't want to modify the worksheet.
I was just hoping for a tooltip or statusbar display for quick temporary
reference.

You can have the column letters appear as numbers.
Tools--options--general--R1C1 reference style.

You can also populate the first row of cells with numbers, A1=1, B1, =2,
etc., and freeze that first row. To do this select teh 2nd row, then
Window--Freeze Panes.

Finally, you can use the COLUMN function =COLUMN(D1) returns 4, etc.
