Hi,

I'm not sure about group policy but you could use the workbook open event to
change it

Private Sub Workbook_Open()
With Application
.ReferenceStyle = xlA1
End With
End Sub

Is there a way to prevent the R1C1 reference policy from being used in excel
by using a group policy?

If not, how can I prevent it from being the default setting?

Thanks,
